今天的大都市正发生着潜移默化的变化，中心从单一中心到多元中心的辐射状发展，都是伴随着新的视觉秩序的需要而产生变化，即大城市正不断生产新的视觉现象——随处不断溢出的事件、密集运行的交通网络、个性化的个体活动、丰富多样的商品以及快速便捷的物流等。这一切都构成了城市的魅力。
The subtle changes which cities are undergoing today, and the radiation development from single center to multi-center, are accompanied by the needs of new visual order, namely cities are constantly producing new visual phenomenon -- events brimming everywhere constantly, intensive operation of traffic network, individual activities, the variety of commodities and fast and convenient logistics etc. All these constitute the charm of the city.
作为公共艺术项目之一的2010世博静安国际雕塑展无疑为世博文化增添了丰富性和多样性。2010世博静安国际雕塑展力图分析和解读现代都市的公共艺术与公众审美、与历史记忆、与日常经验等美学议题。
As a project of public art, it is no doubt that 2010 Expo Jing’an International Sculpture Project has added richness and diversity for the World expo culture. 2010 Expo Jing’an International Sculpture Project tries to analyze and interpret the issues of aesthetics such as modern urban public art and public aesthetic education, historical memory, daily experience, etc.
与欧美的都市文化不同，上海的都市文化具有某种重叠和混杂的独特性——殖民文化-革命文化-新时尚文化。今天，作为国际化大都市的中心地带，静安秉承了“海派文化”，从自身历史与现实出发，着力体现传统文化与现代文化的相容并蓄，高雅艺术与通俗艺术的交相辉映，教育功能与审美功能融为一体的文化特色。当然，倘若要让公共艺术融入城市，融入生活，就必须把公共艺术从城市枯燥而单一的境遇中解放出来，使公共艺术不再被排除在整体设计之外仅作为城市的点缀和装饰而存在。
Different from the European urban culture, Shanghai urban culture has a specificity of overlap and miscellaneous—colonial culture— revolutionary culture — new modern culture. Today, as an international metropolic center, Jing’an takes “Shanghai regional culture”, and incarnates the cultural characteristic of compatibility of traditional culture and modern culture, high art and popular art enhancing each others’ beauty, education and aesthetic function fused together from their own history and reality. Of course, if you make public art blend in cities, the life, we must liberate public art from city’s boring and single situation, make public art no longer be excluded from the overall design of the ornament and be considered as ornament and decoration of the city.
在这个意义上，2010世博静安国际雕塑展的主题“城市幻想”也就必然结合了历史语境和文化现实，思考城市中的公共艺术发展问题。因此，“城市幻想”就是从“记忆”、“生活”和“想象”的三个层次来诠释静安的文化内涵和意义的。显然，“记忆”、“生活”和“想象”不仅应对的是历史空间、商业空间和休闲空间的意义，而且包含的是对过去、现在和未来的分析。当然，我们以视觉艺术的方法诠释静安所代表的海派文化,不能用一般机械化的方法展示，而是应该通过历史语境、日常生活、个人想象的角度来进行演绎与前沿性分析。如公园作为休闲消遣空间，被置于这一空间中的雕塑，表现的是艺术家的想象力和创造力。又如历史空间（历史建筑和名人故居）联系的是上海的传说、故事和记忆,又折射出的是城市时空变化和发展。再如今天新的上海形象具体反映在作为人的生活需要的商业空间,体现的是新的生活方式和新消费观念。
In this sense, the theme of 2010 Expo Jing’an International Sculpture Project "City Fantasy" inevitability combines with the historical context and cultural reality, thinking the city public art development. Therefore, "City Fantasy" is formed by the three levels of "memory", "life" and "fantasy" to interpret the cultural connotation and meaning of Jing’an. Obviously, "memory", "life" and "fantasy" not only deal with history space, commercial space and life space, but also contains the analysis of past, present and future. Of course, we interpret Shanghai regional culture represented by Jing’an, with the method of visual art; it cannot be shown by the general mechanization method, but through the historical context, daily life, and personal perspective to deduce and make in-depth analysis. For example, park is a public space for enjoying daily life, the sculpture in the space expresses artist's imagination and creativity. And historical space (historical buildings and notable residence) connect the legends, stories and memory of Shanghai, and they reflect the changes and development of urban space. Today the new Shanghai image reflected specifically in business space of people’s needs of life reflects the new way of life and the new consumption concept.
因此，在2010世博静安国际雕塑展中，我们把不同的作品安排到到与三个类型空间相关的情景和条件中以表现大都市上海的开放性、包容性和多样性的文化特征。2010世博静安国际雕塑展共选择了来自8个国家和港澳台地区的31位艺术家，其中7位来自国内， 22位来自国际，2位来自港澳台地区，共计68件作品。
Therefore, in 2010 Expo Jing’an International Sculpture Project, we have arranged different works to situations and conditions that are relative to three types of space to manifest cultural characteristics of openness, inclusiveness and multifariousness. 2010 Expo Jing’an International Sculpture Project altogether chose 31 artists from 8 countries and Hong Kong，Macao or Taiwan: 22 international artists, 7 domestic artists and 2 from Hong Kong，Macao or Taiwan, 68 artworks in total.
2010世博静安国际雕塑展的艺术家大多采用的艺术语言简洁，易于大众与之亲近和交往。不论作品是波普语言，还是观念语言，不论作品是极简风格，还是抽象语言，既体现了严肃的文化分析，又反映了轻松的视觉快感和幽默感。它们与观众的闲散、安逸、享受、欢愉与思考相联系。
Most participating artists in 2010 Expo Jing’an International Sculpture Project adopt concise artistic language, which helps to build intimacy and communication with the mass. Whether it is pop or conceptual language, or whether it is minimalism or abstract style, these works combine serious cultural analysis with relaxed visual pleasure and sense of humor. And they create relevance with the audience’s leisure, relaxation, joy, enjoyment and thinking.
2010世博静安国际雕塑展调动了建筑师、艺术家、设计师和策展人的想象力和创造力以及公众的积极参与，这种集体行为在作品与建筑、作品与空间、作品与公众之间建立起了公共平台，即公众可以自由地参与、讨论、批评、分享、对话、交流。它正是社会公共性和文化公共性的目标。因此，静安国际雕塑展的实施，既反映以人为本的原则，又能提升人的审美，更营造整个城市社区的文化形象。
2010 Expo Jing’an International Sculpture Project mobilized architects, artists, designers and curator's vision and creativity and the public participation, the collective behavior build a public platform between works and buildings, works and space ,works and the public, that means public can participate, criticize, freely, share, make dialog and communicate freely. It is the target of social publicity and cultural commonality. Therefore, the implementation of 2010 Expo Jing’an International Sculpture Project not only reflects the people-oriented principle, enhance people’s sense of aesthetics, but also build the whole city community’s cultural image.
