一個想突破現有藝術模式的中國青年藝術家王愷與一個有中國雷鋒情節的美國藝術家馬賽克，有意無意地將自己的作品組合在了上苑藝術館里，介于圖書館與餐廳的挑空層中。它們自然形成了一種有諷刺意味的組合。
Wang Kai, a young Chinese artist who wantsto break the barrier of current artistic method, and Christopher Pelly, anAmerican artist who has a soft spot for Lei Feng, accidentally combined theirworks together here in Shangyuan, between the space in library and cafeteria. Theirworks formed a naturally ironic pair.
王愷原本的作品設計是根據鳥巢文化中心提出來的環保題材，以裝置形式準備的作品《常態》。他將口罩作為一種有象征性的材料，想用到鳥巢的大建筑上。當空氣污染已成常態，王愷有給我們的建筑、我們的城市戴上口罩的沖動……，王愷從這些社會生態中提取藝術創作元素，最后用了500個口罩，完成一件命名《胎息》的視覺裝置作品。
Wang’s work was originally made for Bird’sNest Art Center, with the theme of environmentalism. It is an installation named Normality. He uses masks as a symbolizing element to cover the Bird’s Nest.When air pollution becomes normal in our daily life, Wang Kai has the urge tocover our buildings and cities with masks. He extracted these creative characters from today’s social life and created this piece of installation named it Fetal Breath with 500 masks.
王愷在移動互聯網平臺上展示他的作品方案時，我建議他將之實施在上苑藝術館里。最后呈現出來與最初的方案有著非常大的不同，這就是藝術創作中的意外。更為意外的是王愷從社會意義中的空氣污染一般性批判中提升起來，在裝置作品的中間部位，他加進了一個枕頭——這個給人安全感和夢源的睡眠物品，有五百個口罩將枕頭團團抱住。它一下子就觸動了我——這是一個多么細膩和有愛心的男人！哦，枕頭！讓多少人依戀的枕頭。
When Wang was showing his ideas on the internet,I suggested hi that he should make it true in Shangyuan. The final form is verydifferent from his original design, but this is what happens during the processof creation. What makes me even more surprised is that Wang Kai has sublimated the theme of his work from a simple criticism of air pollution, he added apillow in the middle of 500 masks: an object which represents sense of safetyand root of dream. It touched me immediately: what a sweet and caring man ishe! Oh pillow! The thing that many of us are reluctant to leave.
但是，看著王愷這件《胎息》作品，安置在馬賽克（ChristopherPelley）用襪子做的《雷鋒》之下，這里的《雷鋒》不是指一個完美的人，而是一個政治符號；一個用來約束中國人民自由思想的虛假的象征人物。想到這里有一種流淚的沖動情緒涌了出來。想像著這兩位來自不同國家與不同文化背景的理想主義者，他們緊鎖著眉頭問：什么樣的保護才能讓我們的愛，我們的夢，甚至我們的生命得以安全……？他們如何面對漸漸墮落的世界？如何抵御權貴的踐踏？如何在物欲橫流的現實中保有一方凈土？……這成了我們長久的焦慮。
However, this Fetal Breath under Christopher’s Lei Feng made from stocks. Lei Feng here represents an imperfectman, but a political symbol and a representation of the figure that suppressesthe freedom of Chinese people. When thinking about this, I couldn’t hold mytears. Two idealists from different countries with different culturalbackground, they ask the questions: How can we protect our love and our dreams?How to protect our life and safety? How can we face the degenerating world? Howcan we resist the trample of the rice and powerful? How can we preserve autopia in this materialistic world? These are our long-lasting anxiety.
美國藝術家馬賽克的真名是克里斯托夫（ChristopherPelley），由于他大多的作品都是用馬賽克拼貼成像方式，所以中國藝術家都叫他馬賽克，而他非常樂意這個中國人都懂并易記的名。他在去年來北京-上苑藝術館之前，用了很多時間了解中國，他找到了一個象征性中國人-雷鋒，用他來做作品原型，以襪子為材料。我幫他在網上訂購了黑、灰、白三色600雙襪子，他用了三個月來完成它。目前呈現在王愷的《胎息》之上，這種有意無意的安排，揭開了我們焦慮的潘多拉魔盒。
Christopher has a Chinese name, MaSaiKe, whichmeans mosaic. It was given to him by his fellow artists because his works aremainly made by mosaic method. He likes this name for its simplicity and becauseit is easy to remember. Before he came to Shangyuan last year, he spent a lotof time to know China. He picked a very symbolic Chinese, Lei Feng, as the archetype.I helped him ordering stocks online, with black, grey and white color, totally 600 pairs. He spent 3 month to finish this project. Now it is presented on WangKai’s Fetal Birth. This unintended arrangement, coincidentally opened thesource of our anxiety.

鳥巢文化中心建筑面積約為15,000平方米，是鳥巢建筑空間的重要組成部分。文化中心依托國家體育場•鳥巢自身的建筑特色、強烈的奧運色彩及獨特的品牌文化，充分發揮鳥巢“窗口”和“平臺”的自身優勢，填補鳥巢作為一個露天體育場館缺少高端文化交流和會議會展設施的空白。
Bird’s Nest Cultural Center has 15,000 square meters’ construction area. It is an important component of the architectural space of Bird’s Nest. The cultural center, based upon the architectural characters of the National Stadium/Bird’s Nest, strong Olympic spirit and unique brand culture, is now completing the role as a high end facility for cultural events and conferences which Bird’s Nest lacks as an outdoor sport stadium.
