讲座·第四期｜何善影——过去的未来
2024年10月10日，景德镇陶瓷大学龙泉研究院荣幸邀请到了艺术家何善影带来了一场主题为《过去的未来》的讲座。美国陶艺家James Lawton，丽水职业技术学院龙泉分院及龙泉青瓷宝剑技师学院师生等近100余人参加了此次讲座。
On October 10, 2024, the Longquan Research Institute of Jingdezhen Ceramic University had the honor of hosting a lecture by artist Sinying Ho, titled "The Past‘s Future." Over 100 participants attended, including American ceramist James Lawton, as well as teachers and students from the Longquan Branch of Lishui Vocational and Technical College and the Longquan Celadon and Sword Technical Institute.
在讲座的开始，何教授讲述了自己在家乡香港的生活经历，以及后续到达加拿大与美国的职业生活经历。从香港到北美，她东方与西方的文化背景在不断交融，她意识到自身的改变并将对全新的自己的身份的思考代入与创作中。例如，在她早期的作品"Identity"中，她融入了东西方文化的元素，以及自身复杂身份的符号。在她后续的职业生涯中，从个人的变化折射到社会的变化，她也不断地将自己对人类社会过去，现在和未来的思考融入作品创作中。例如，在她的作品“Beyond Borders: Passage of Time”中，她融入了5G，股票指数等现代社会的符号，以表现她对社会变迁以及人类集体情感的思考。
At the beginning of the lecture, Professor Ho shared her life experiences in her hometown of Hong Kong, as well as her subsequent professional experiences in Canada and the United States. From Hong Kong to North America, the blending of Eastern and Western cultural backgrounds continuously shaped her, and she became aware of these changes in herself. This led her to reflect on her evolving identity and incorporate it into her creative work. For instance, in her early piece "Identity," she integrated elements of both Eastern and Western cultures, along with symbols representing her complex identity. As her career progressed, her personal transformation also mirrored broader social changes. She continued to infuse her reflections on humanity’s past, present, and future into her creations. For example, in her work "Beyond Borders: Passage of Time," she incorporated symbols of modern society, such as 5G and stock indices, to express her thoughts on societal shifts and the collective emotions of humanity.

何教授还分享到自己热衷于将事物碎片化并重组的创作手法，她于景德镇御窑博物馆的“青花秘境”特展中展出的作品“余晖”的灵感便来源于中国海上丝绸之路上沉船上的瓷器碎片。她希望这些瓷片的重组能够折射历史的轨迹，并引导人们看到历史的余晖。
Professor Ho also shared her passion for fragmenting and reorganizing objects as part of her creative process. Her work "Afterglow," which was showcased at the "Blue and White Secret" special exhibition at the Imperial Kiln Museum in Jingdezhen, was inspired by porcelain shards found on shipwrecks along China’s Maritime Silk Road. She hopes that the reassembly of these porcelain fragments will reflect the trajectory of history and guide people to see the lingering light of the past.

何教授也提到了早年她作为一名演员的经历，以及如何转变为一名陶艺家的经历。这份独特的经历为她的陶艺创作生涯增添了一份别样的色彩。例如，她提到，此次于龙泉研究院驻场创作的装置作品《银河钟声的迥响》中的音乐元素便融入了自己由浙江越剧中获得的音乐灵感。
Professor Ho also mentioned her early experience as an actress and how she transitioned into becoming a ceramic artist. This unique journey added a distinctive touch to her career in ceramic art. For example, she shared that the musical elements in her installation work Echoes of the Galactic Chime, created during her residency at the Longquan Research Institute, were inspired by the music she encountered in Zhejiang Yue Opera.

在讲座的后半部分，何教授分享了她过去在研究院的驻场创作的日常生活并感谢了研究院团队和社会各界人士对她驻场创作的帮助。于龙泉的日常生活和对青瓷的钻研学习使她对龙泉青瓷的理解有了独特的理解。她也将碎片重组的手法运用于这次的驻场创作中，她希望能够将自己对青瓷的理解以她独特的表现手法呈现给世界。
In the second half of the lecture, Professor Ho shared her daily life during her residency at the institute and expressed her gratitude to the institute's team and people from various sectors for their support in her residency. Her everyday experiences in Longquan and her dedicated study of celadon have given her a unique understanding of Longquan celadon. She also applied her technique of fragment recomposition to this residency project, hoping to present her understanding of celadon to the world through her distinctive artistic expression.
在讲座的结尾，何教授与在场的师生进行交流，回答了在场师生提出的问题。最后，她表示了自己对龙泉青瓷的祝愿，希望能有更多的来自不同领域的艺术家来到龙泉，了解和丰富青瓷文化，推动龙泉青瓷多样化的发展。
At the end of the lecture, Professor Ho engaged with the students and faculty present, answering their questions. Finally, she expressed her well wishes for Longquan celadon, hoping that more artists from different fields would come to Longquan to learn about and enrich the celadon culture, thereby promoting the diverse development of Longquan celadon.
