不同的文化背景造就了对于自我、对于世界的不同认知。正因为有这样可贵的多样性，艺术与设计才能为大家带来更多思考自身，思考世界的窗口。来自内心深处的无形精神性和创造力，继而决定了外在的“相”，凝结成了作品的外在形态。更有趣的是，观者的观看和理解也为作品增加了更多的对话可能和全新视角。

此次，上海玻璃博物馆带来了两件来自西班牙、中国的优秀玻璃创作，向大家展现来自中国文化背景与西班牙文化背景下的创意之作。由El Ultimo Grito 工作室主导的《幻想建筑》是一个对城市所包含的社会、物质和精神元素所提出的命题。这些“可能的结构”会让人思索、怀疑和探究这些我们生活中空间的关联和意义。而王沁的作品《乌有园·梦浮桥》撷取传统园林山水的元素，将其置于容器“盒子”之中，通过聚隐透借，幽曲疏露的方法，使得观者从不一样的角度，别有洞天地窥视“园林”，继而引起心中无限遐想。

希望该展览能让繁忙中的都市人窥见来自两国文化带来的文化魅力，感受玻璃的无限可能。让我们在这个越加疏离分割的世界中理解、感悟人类的共通性，那就是对创造力的赞美，对美好生活的追求。

Different cultural backgrounds have fostered different perceptions of self and the world. It is because of this valuable diversity that art and design can provide us with more windows to reflect on ourselves and the world. The invisible spirituality and creativity stemming from the depths of our hearts subsequently determine the external “manifestation,” which condenses into the external form of the work. More interestingly, the audience’s viewing and understanding also add more possibilities for dialogue and fresh perspectives to the work.

This time, the Shanghai Museum of Glass has brought two excellent glass creations from Spain and China, showcasing creative works from the cultural backgrounds of China and Spain. “Imaginary Architecture,” led by the El Ultimo Grito Studio, is a proposition about the social, material, and spiritual elements contained in the city. These “possible structures” will make people ponder, doubt, and explore the connections and meanings of the spaces in our lives. Wang Qin’s work, “Arcadia Garden-Bridge,” extracts elements from traditional garden landscapes and places them inside a container “box.” Through the methods of gathering, hiding, revealing, and borrowing, as well as the use of subtle curves and sparse exposures, it allows the viewer to glimpse the “garden” from a different angle, triggering boundless imagination in their hearts.
