杨人倩《浅谈我的艺术创作思维与偶然性》

1月2日，景德镇陶瓷大学龙泉研究院荣幸邀请到了纽约州立大学奥斯威戈分校副教授杨人倩带来了一场主题为《浅谈我的艺术创作思维与偶然性》的讲座。景德镇陶瓷大学龙泉研究院执行院长金文伟、龙泉青瓷行业从业人员、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、来龙创业人员等近100人参加了此次讲座。

On January 2nd, the Longquan Research Institute of Jingdezhen Ceramic University had the honor of hosting a lecture by Renqian Yang, an Associate Professor at the State University of New York at Oswego. The lecture, titled "Exploring My Artistic Creative Thinking and Contingency," was attended by nearly 100 individuals, including Jin Wenwei, the Executive Director of the Longquan Research Institute at Jingdezhen Ceramic University, practitioners from the Longquan celadon industry, students and faculty from Lishui Vocational and Technical College in Longquan, and entrepreneurs in the Longquan ceramic industry.

在讲座中，杨教授介绍了自己的创作历程以及对陶瓷社区的看法。首先，她分享了她独特的艺术创作思维。她认为，艺术创作在不同环境中呈现出不同的状态。这是因为个人思绪会受到不同环境的影响，而独特环境下的思绪能够孕育出独特的作品。随后，她展示了在不同国家和时间下创作的众多作品，揭示了这些作品背后的逻辑和情感。作品涵盖了对生活中城市与个人、自由与束缚、人与自然等主题的情感和思考。在创作技艺上，她尝试运用不同的材料与陶瓷结合，以更好地表达自己的情感。

In the lecture, Professor Yang provided a detailed overview of her creative journey and unique perspectives on the ceramic community. Firstly, she shared her distinctive artistic creative thinking. She believes that artistic creation manifests different states in various environments. This is because individual thoughts are influenced by different surroundings, giving rise to unique works of art in specific contexts. Subsequently, she showcased her works created in different countries and periods, revealing the logic and emotions behind these pieces. These works cover emotions and profound reflections on themes such as urban life and individual experiences, freedom and constraints, as well as the relationship between humanity and nature. In terms of artistic techniques, she actively experimented with the combination of different materials and ceramics to better express her emotions. This innovative approach enhances the expressiveness and originality of her works. Her lecture not only showcased her outstanding achievements in the field of art but also provided the audience with deep insights into ceramic art and creative thinking.

在创作中，杨教授注重偶然性对作品的影响，例如陶瓷在烧制过程中由于无法控制的温度而产生的形体变化。她认为这些偶然性不仅为作品带来活力，还能促使创作者在创作过程中获得灵感。

In the course of creation, Professor Yang places a significant emphasis on the impact of contingency on her works, such as the unpredictable changes in the form of ceramics during the firing process due to uncontrollable temperatures. She believes that these chance occurrences not only infuse vitality into the artworks but also prompt creators to gain inspiration throughout the creative process.

讲座的后半部分聚焦于杨教授对陶瓷与社区建设的见解。她分享了在不同陶瓷社区中与不同群体如学生进行陶艺交流，并将技艺反馈于社区的经历。其中，她介绍了国际慈善项目“empty bowl”以及美国国家陶瓷艺术教育委员会NCECA等陶瓷社区。她表示，人们通过参与社区活动与捐赠，促使了艺术作品在社会中产生有意义的影响。这些社区进而成为了连接陶艺与社会的桥梁，彰显了陶艺的社会价值。

The latter part of the lecture focused on Professor Yang's insights into ceramics and community development. She shared experiences of engaging with different groups, such as students, in various ceramic communities and contributing her skills to community initiatives. In particular, she introduced international charitable projects like the "Empty Bowls" project and ceramic communities such as the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts (NCECA) in the United States. She emphasized that meaningful impact arises when people participate in community activities and donations, highlighting the significant influence of artistic creations in society. These communities thus serve as bridges connecting ceramics with society, showcasing the social value of ceramics.
