2023年上海玻璃博物馆“退火”项目将为广大观众带来宋冬、尹秀珍项目。作为享誉全球的重量级艺术家，宋冬和尹秀珍一起参与和见证了过去三十多年当代艺术在中国的整个历史进程。他们的作品，各有其美学框架，但都关注极速发展变化的政治和经济环境下，个人情感、记忆和命运与社会的相互关系。此次展览项目是宋冬、尹秀珍首次以玻璃为首要核心材料进行创作，对材料所包含的哲学及社会意义的进一步探索。同时，宋冬、尹秀珍、宋儿睿一家三口将再次携手，带来合作展览《筷道：品光》项目。

宋冬个展《退火不退火》围绕“退火”概念进行申发，重新思考“退火”/“不退火”与“因”“果”之间的关系。室内展览空间中的四组作品“无知”“无量”与“无要”深入探讨、表达玻璃的精神性，作品“因”“果”相连，互为转换，有头无尾。户外霓虹灯装置“退火不退火”则将“文字”提炼为“图像”，通过不同速度的闪耀节奏产生不同语义和模糊表达，提供观者再创造的可能性。户外作品“无痕”使用中国传统建筑中的“影壁”概念，鼓励邀请观者加入其中，用毛笔蘸水在喷砂玻璃上自由写绘，使之成为吸收自然和各种公众创造力的平台。

The 2023 Shanghai Museum of Glass’s “Annealing” project is set to present audiences with the works of Song Dong and Yin Xiuzhen.This exhibition marks the first time that Song Dong and Yin Xiuzhen have utilized glass as the primary medium for creation, delving further into the philosophical and social implications embedded within the material. In addition, the artistic family trio – Song Dong, Yin Xiuzhen, and their child Song Errui – will once again collaborate, presenting the joint exhibition project titled ‘Way of Chopsticks: Tasting Light.’

Song Dong’s solo exhibition, ‘To Be Or Not To Be,’ revolves around the concept of annealing, prompting a reconsideration of the relationship between “annealing”/”not annealing” and the notions of “cause” and “effect.” Within the indoor exhibition space, four sets of works titled ‘Ignorance,’ ‘Limitless,’ and ‘Desireless’ delve deeply into an exploration and expression of the spirituality inherent in glass. The pieces ‘Cause’ and ‘Effect’ are interconnected, transforming into one another, forming an endless cycle without conclusion. The outdoor neon installation ‘To Be Or Not To Be’ distills “text” into “image,” generating various meanings and ambiguous expressions through differing flash rhythms, thereby offering viewers the possibility for reinterpretation and recreation.

The outdoor work ‘Traceless’ employs the concept of the “screen wall” from traditional Chinese architecture, encouraging visitors to engage by freely painting with water-dipped brushes on sandblasted glass, turning it into a platform that absorbs nature and harnesses the creative energy of the public.
