形隨鏡動：張宗憲珍藏重要中國玉雕展
Apertures Amplified: Important Chinese Jades from the Robert Chang Collection
香港會議展覽中心
Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre
2023.5.25-6.3
展覽設計探索張宗憲先生傳奇收藏中的三百餘件重要中國玉器的空間敘事。通過一系列形式大小各異孔洞空間，設計通過對中國古典園林山石頭的當代詮釋——兼顧框景並調節觀眾與藝術作品之間的尺度感。就像玉器藏家通過放大鏡近距離觀察器物從而迸發物質想像一樣，層疊的孔洞空間在引導參觀者的視覺注意力的同時，通過不同類型玉器的空間疊合，在傳統分類之外激發新的自由發現和想像。
This exhibition explores a spatial narrative of over 300 pieces of Chinese jades from the legendary Robert Chang Collection. The design creates a series of “space pods” with apertures of various forms and sizes as a contemporary interpretation of the grottos in the classical Chinese gardens - framing views while mediating the sense of scale between the viewers and the works of art. Like the looking glass used by jade collectors to provoke material imagination through the closer looks, the layered apertures capture the visitors’ attention as move through the exhibition while allowing freedom for discovery and imagination beyond the typical categorization.
The client invited us to think beyond the commonly adopted method of curating and exhibiting classical works of art by generic categorization - either a linear historical timeline or oversimplified material categories. To feature such a diverse range of jade collections - from green jade sculptures to red jade snuff bottles, from yellow jade scholarly objects to white jade pots, we identified two design challenges as well as opportunities: one is quantity - there are over 300 pieces of works of art in the collection to be displayed within the 500 square meter exhibition area; the other is scale - most of the jades are relatively small when displayed in the vast exhibition space of the Convention Centre. We have designed a series of “space pods” and geometrically devised the apertures to break down the quantity and mediate the sense of scale. While each aperture frames and presents a specifically curated group of artwork, the layering of the openings evokes surprising juxtapositions of jades across categories, allowing a more fluid and open interpretation of the classical work of art.
