The forum will invite experts from various fields such as energy scientists, artists, science fiction writers, science popularization experts, and investors to conduct three interdisciplinary roundtable dialogues focusing on the future of energy, technology, art, and civilization, thus staging a wonderful collision between "energy and art".This forum is open to the publicScan the QR code to make a reservationLimited spots available; first come, first served 01 Forum Introduction The forum, themed "Focusing on Controlled Nuclear Fusion: Exploring the Interdisciplinary Integration of Energy Technology, Science Popularization Communication, and Artistic Expression", aims to break down disciplinary barriers and build a public platform for in-depth dialogue between science and art. Focusing on "controlled nuclear fusion" as the ultimate energy direction, it will bring together scientists, artists, and science fiction writers to pool their wisdom. Centering on the core topic of "energy and civilization", three roundtable dialogues will be held to explore how energy technology can lay the foundation for the future, how science popularization education can build a bridge for public understanding, and how technology and art can jointly shape new forms of civilization. This is an intellectual journey from reality to imagination, and we invite you to participate in co-creating the narrative of the future. 02 Three Roundtable Themes · Leading Interdisciplinary Contemplation 13:30-14:40, September 14Forum 1: Energy, Electricity, Future and Science FictionNarrative DominanceThe transformation of energy technology is an underlying variable in the development of human society. It determines the boundaries of productivity and profoundly shapes the economic society, political systems, and even cultural values. From the era of slash-and-burn cultivation to nuclear fusion, every energy revolution has overturned the old order and given birth to entirely new forms of civilization.HostKong DefengPh.D., doctoral supervisor, Huangshan Scholar, Chief Scientist of the National Key Research and Development ProgramGuestsLing ChenCouncil Member of China Science Writers Association, science popularization and science fiction writerChen XiDirector, Screenwriter, PlannerMao WenzheAssociate Professor, University of Science and Technology of ChinaZhang KaiFamous InvestorWang XuanzhengProfessor, Director of the Graduate Department, School of Design, Central Academy of Fine ArtsSeptember 14, 14:40-15:50 Forum 2: The New Wave of Science Popularization Education in China – Science, Public Education, CommunicationIn an era where knowledge acquisition is extremely convenient, the mission of science popularization education has evolved from mere "knowledge dissemination" to the "cultivation of scientific thinking and scientific spirit". It is no longer a one-way indoctrination, but a two-way, creative and interactive public education activity. How to break down the "dimension wall" between science and the public, and make profound scientific research achievements knowable, perceivable and participatory, is a new task facing science popularization workers.HostZhang Wenchao Artist, Director of the Art and Technology Program, School of Design, Central Academy of Fine ArtsGuestsZhou JianqiangDirector and Researcher of the Professional Committee for Science Popularization and Cultural Industries of the China Society for Science and Technology Journalism, and Director of the Institute of Science Popularization Industry at the University of Science and Technology of ChinaWang XiaomingDeputy Director of China's Guidance Committee for Training of High-Level Specialized Talents in Science Popularization, Honorary Chairman of the Yangtze River Delta Science Popularization Venues Alliance, and Executive Vice Chairman of the Shanghai Foundation for the Development of Science Popularization Education.He DanMember of the Science Popularization Education Committee of China Science Writers Association, and Guiding Expert of China Science Popularization Study Tour AllianceWu DanResearcher at the China Research Institute for Science PopularizationZhang JieDirector of the Brand Innovation, Development and Communication Center, China Agricultural Film and Television Center, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural AffairsSeptember 14, 16:10-17:30 Forum 3: The Poetry of Energy: When Science and Art ResonateThe "Energy and Civilization" exhibition resonates at the intersection of technological rationality and poetic intuition. This dialogue seeks to construct a polyphonic narrative of scientific and technological humanities – when the microscopic universe of particle collisions meets the materiality of sculptural materials, when the topological structure of photovoltaic matrices resonates with the spatiotemporal reconstruction of video installations, and when the entropy-increasing process of energy storage components interweaves with the frequency modulation of installation art.HostHu QuanchunDeputy Director of the Department of Sculpture, Central Academy of Fine ArtsGuestsLiu JianProfessor at Shandong University, Fusion ScienceQi ZhenHead of the Tech Art Studio, School of Experimental Art and Tech ArtSong DonghuanScreenwriter, CuratorFan HuiGrade-2 Screenwriter of China Film Group Corporation, Secretary-General of the Youth Film Professional Committee of China Xia Yan Film SocietyXing HeProfessional Writer of Beijing Writers AssociationJing SiyangDirector of the Crisis and Ecological Design Program, School of Design, Central Academy of Fine ArtsEnergy And Civilization--Science & Art·Fusion FutureExhibition Time: September 14 - October 12, 2025Exhibition Venue: 1st Floor Exhibition Hall, Art Museum of the Central Academy of Fine ArtsOpening Time: 10:00 a.m. on September 14, 2025Opening Venue: Academic Lecture Hall, Art Museum of the Central Academy of Fine ArtsEditor-in-Chief / He YishaEditor / Du Yinzhu

: Energy And Civilization- Science & Art · Fusion Future | The 2025 "Energy and Civilization" Exhibition Is About To Open Grandly

2025-09-10

At 10:00 a.m. on September 14, 2025, the large-scale popular science exhibition "Energy and Civilization: Science & Art · Fusion Future", jointly launched by the Central Academy of Fine Arts, the Institute of Energy of Hefei Comprehensive National Science Center, and the Hefei Municipal People's Government, will grandly open at CAFA Art Museum. As China's first museum-level science and art exhibition themed on "controllable nuclear fusion", it brings together top scientists in the field of nuclear fusion and leading figures in the art circle. From an interdisciplinary perspective, the exhibition combines scientific achievements with contemporary artistic expressions, establishing a complete knowledge chain from scientific issues to artistic representations, and then to public cognition.The exhibition focuses on the evolution of energy technologies and the progress of civilization, particularly the breakthroughs in controllable nuclear fusion technology. It comprehensively demonstrates the scientific principles of nuclear fusion by integrating artistic expressions with the construction of a knowledge map spanning three dimensions: history, science, and art. From the historical perspective, it reviews the evolution of energy technologies from fire-making by drilling wood to nuclear fusion, and presents the arduous journey of China's nuclear fusion research. From the scientific perspective, it provides a panoramic interpretation of the principles of controllable nuclear fusion and showcases the course of scientific exploration through precious scientific relics such as EAST and tokamaks. From the artistic perspective, through large-scale installation works like Lightning, Sea, and Building the Sun, it transforms abstract scientific principles into visual spectacles, stimulating viewers' sensory experiences and reflections.The innovative exhibition methods not only achieve the two-way stimulation of scientific expression and artistic cognition, but also allow the audience to intuitively feel the infinite potential of energy through an immersive experience, inspiring people's imagination and reflection on the future energy era. The exhibition will skillfully integrate scientific expression with artistic perception through a number of installation works, inspiring visitors' in-depth thinking and sensory experience of nuclear fusion technology.Installation LightningThe installation Lightning carries forward the design concept of the Tesla coil. It is both a reproduction of Nikola Tesla's great invention at the end of the 19th century and a link connecting history, the present, and the future. This work not only presents the ultra-high temperature environment required for nuclear fusion but also, through intense sounds and collisions of light and shadow, metaphorically embodies the profound driving forces of nature. It engages in a dialogue with nuclear fusion—humanity's ultimate energy dream—both visually and philosophically.Installation SeaThe installation Sea vividly presents a future scenario where seawater is converted into energy through 50 tons of artificial seawater, highlighting the enormous potential of controllable nuclear fusion and demonstrating its value as an ideal ultimate energy source.Installation Building the Sun Building the Sun channels outdoor sunlight into the art museum via optical fiber devices, then projects it through light concentration to create a 5-meter-diameter "artificial sun". This not only reproduces the energy form of sunlight but also echoes the scene of 50 tons of seawater in the exhibition hall, helping visitors intuitively understand the enormous potential of nuclear fusion energy. Through these works, the exhibition breaks away from the form of traditional popular science exhibitions and creates an interactive space for art and science experiences. The exhibition has carefully selected a series of nuclear fusion scientific devices, showcasing the precision and profundity of the physical world and forming a "chain of material evidence for the evolution of civilization". From China's first tokamak device to the EAST device, these precious scientific instruments spanning nearly two centuries link key historical nodes in China's nuclear fusion research, highlighting China's important position in global energy exploration.Since the 1970s, China has launched the magnetic confinement fusion research program, with tokamak becoming the main research path. In the 1980s, China successfully built its first small tokamak device, KT-5, marking a breakthrough in the country's nuclear fusion research. This device not only provided an important experimental platform for basic physical issues such as plasma-wave interactions but also promoted the development of various advanced plasma diagnostic technologies, serving as a core experimental platform for talent cultivation in the field of nuclear fusion. By exhibiting these precious relics, the exhibition enables visitors to deeply understand China's remarkable achievements in nuclear fusion research and its leading position in the global energy science and technology sector. The exhibition features a number of interactive experience installations, such as "Fusion Droplets · Decoding Civilization (Seawater Card)", which is a participatory science popularization activity: each participant is a transmitter of the energy of civilization. Children can personally experience the technological miracle of "from a drop of seawater to infinite energy" through the process of extracting seawater → activating the content of documents → piecing together the energy civilization code wall. At the same time, a series of derivatives related to nuclear fusion and energy will be launched at the exhibition site, allowing visitors to extend their exhibition experience through these products and think deeply about the integration of science and art.This exhibition is included in the series of events for the 2025 National Science Popularization Month, the 2025 Beijing International Design Week, and the 2025 3rd China (Hefei) International Science and Art Week. It will tour cities such as Hefei, Chongqing, Shenzhen, and Shanghai in the future. The exhibition will also cooperate with a number of science education institutions, and in the future, it will reach a wider group of teenagers through forms such as "science and art workshops entering campuses" and "themed cloud classes".Energy And Civilization-- Science & Art · Fusion FutureVenue: 1st Floor Exhibition Hall, CAFA Art MuseumTime: September 14 - October 12, 2025 (Opening Time: 10:00 a.m. on September 14; Opening Venue: Academic Lecture Hall, CAFA Art Museum)Exhibition Working Team:Academic Advisors: Lin Mao, Li JiangangInvited Advisors: Qiu Zhijie, Hu HaominChief Coordinator: Pan ChenghuiAdministrative Coordinators: Wu Yajuan, Wang ShuChief Curators: Wu Zheng, Kong DefengExhibition Directors: Jin Jun, Han WenchaoExhibition Coordinators: Gao Gao, Hai JunCuratorial Team: Zhang Zhaohong, Shen Xingyi, Su Lei, Shen Cong, Chen Yu, Qu Chengming, He QiuyanExecutive Curators: Cai Miaomiao, Liu Xiangqi, Zhou You, Hu Yiwei, Wu Yingqi, Zhu Zixiu, Wu Zhendong, Hu ManluExhibition Coordinators: Wang Jing, Liu XiyanHost Organizations:Central Academy of Fine ArtsInstitute of Energy, Hefei Comprehensive National Science CenterHefei Municipal People's GovernmentOrganizing Units:Art Museum of the Central Academy of Fine ArtsScience and Art Joint Laboratory, Institute of Energy, Hefei Comprehensive National Science CenterBig Sun (Hefei) Culture and Technology Co., Ltd.Co-organizers:Plasma Physics Institute, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of SciencesSchool of Nuclear Science and Technology, University of Science and Technology of ChinaScience Popularization ChinaDepartment of Sculpture, Central Academy of Fine ArtsSchool of Experimental Art and Technology Art, Central Academy of Fine ArtsSchool of Design, Central Academy of Fine ArtsSchool of Urban Design, Central Academy of Fine ArtsOffice of Scientific Research, Central Academy of Fine ArtsInstitute of Science and Technology Art, Central Academy of Fine ArtsSchool of Design and Art, Beijing Institute of TechnologySchool of Future Design, Beijing Normal UniversityProfessional Committee of Popular Science Culture Industry, China Society for Science and Technology JournalismKey Laboratory of Industrial and Information Technology for Innovation Design in Industrial Manufacturing ArtSupporting Organizations:Beijing International Design WeekBeijing ByteDance Network Technology Co., Ltd.Epson Light & Shadow Research InstituteShenzhen Seetao Optoelectronics Co., Ltd.Beijing Yuanlichen Superconducting Technology Co., Ltd.

: One Mirror, One World: The Translucent Mirror Of The Ming Dynasty From "Han Tianxia" | Collection Exhibition Of CAFAM

2025-09-06

In the exhibition hall of "Collection of CAFA Art Museum – Ancient Chinese Art", a precious relic from the Han Dynasty that has spanned over a thousand years – the circular-knob sunlight and grass-leaf pattern bronze mirror – stands quietly, waiting to meet the gaze of contemporary viewers.> > > >639 Round Knob Sunlight Grass and Leaf Pattern Mirror, Reverse side of the mirror, Han Dynasty, Bronze, Diameter: 10.3 cm, Weight: 108 grams, Collection of CAFA Art Museum639 Round Knob Sunlight Grass and Leaf Pattern Mirror, Mirror surfaceThis bronze mirror is well-preserved, showing an overall black appearance with scattered patches of green rust.The mirror is circular in shape, featuring a circular knob and a deformed persimmon calyx pattern as the knob base. Outside the base lies a double-line square frame, inside which there is a checkerboard-like grid. The knob is at the center of the grid, with symmetrical diagonal patterns at the four corners. On each side of the square frame, there are two seal-script characters; when read clockwise in sequence, they form the inscription: "When seeing the light of the sun, the whole world is bright." Beyond this square frame, there is an additional circular concave frame. Four "ru ding" (breast-shaped studs, a common decorative element on ancient Chinese bronze mirrors) are placed outside the midpoints of the four sides of this concave frame. Outside each "ru ding" pattern, there is a peach-shaped flower bud, with a single-layer grass-leaf pattern arranged symmetrically on both sides. From each of the four corners of the square frame, a double-petal flower branch pattern extends, with the tips of the branches radiating outward—consistent with the direction of the leaf tips of the persimmon calyx pattern base. The mirror is bordered by an inward-facing sixteen-consecutive-arc pattern, with vertical edges.639 Round Knob Sunlight Grass and Leaf Pattern Mirror: Case and InscriptionThis bronze mirror is accompanied by a case, on which there are 283 characters written in ink by its original owner during the Republic of China period, along with three stamped seals. The inscriptions specify the mirror's name, its extraordinary features, the mystery of its light-transmitting property, the reason for its change of ownership, and the owner's expectations for the next holder. The historical sense of responsibility embodied in the inscriptions is admirable, while the reason for the transfer—"selling the mirror to repay debts"—is lamentable. However, as Zhi Wei once said, "Both the one who gains it and the one who loses it should remain joyful." Today, our museum's acquisition of this mirror is indeed a great delight.original inscription by Zhi：The Translucent Mirror of the Ming Dynasty from "Han Tianxia"The translucent mirror is an extraordinary innovation in China's metallurgical technology. Wu Qiuyan, a scholar of the Yuan Dynasty, claimed that it was made "with fine bronze for the frame and impure bronze for the patterns（ though the two terms "fine" and "impure" should be swapped）. When exposed to sunlight, the patterns are fully transmitted." This is merely a speculative claim with no scientific basis.Scholars such as Umehara Sueji and Naito Konan also conducted research and discrimination, but none of them reached a definite conclusion. In short, this is an undisclosed secret in the casting and smelting techniques of our ancient ancestors.Among thousands of mirrors, few can obtain even one. Now I have to exchange this mirror for money to repay debts, which has made me feel sorrowful for days. I hereby write a few words. May the one who obtains it treasure it, or hand it over to experts for research, so as to solve this mystery. It will also be a glory in the history of mirrors and a fortunate event for the collector. The artistic inventions of our ancient people can thus be praised, which is especially a great fortune in the new democratic era.Words from a Mirror EnthusiastAnd stamped with the seal of Yongle HallMay both the gainer and the loser find eternal happinessSeals: Mirror Enthusiast, Seal of Yongle HallThe scene of the bronze mirror exhibition area in "Collection of CAFA Art Museum – Ancient Chinese Art"In addition to the Round Knob Sunlight Grass and Leaf Pattern Mirror, the exhibition also features dozens of other rare bronze mirrors, such as the Bridge Knob Feather-wing Flower and Leaf Pattern Four-Mountain Mirror (Warring States Period) and the Round Knob Four-Bird Flower Branch Mirror (Tang Dynasty). Through these exhibits, visitors can intuitively perceive the changes in aesthetic tastes and innovations in craftsmanship across different eras.> > > >Collection of CAFA Art Museum -– Ancient Chinese Art(Phase II)Exhibition Time: Starting from July 1, 2024Exhibition Venue: Gallery A, 2nd Floor, CAFA Art MuseumChief Editor / He Yisha Editor / Du Yinzhu

: Shocking Anti-Japanese War Scene: Yan Han's Printmaking - "When the Enemy Searches the Mountain" | CAFAM Collection Exhibition

2025-09-04

> > > >September 3, 2025, marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. On this special commemoration day, let us jointly appreciate this black-and-white woodcut print with profound historical significance—Yan Han's When the Enemies Search the Mountain. This work is currently on display in the second phase of the "Collection of CAFA Art Museum: Modern Chinese Art". The exhibition, covering traditional Chinese painting, oil painting, and printmaking, is not only the individual expression of artists but also embodies the exploration and reform in the torrent of history, responding to the times with modern forms and languages."When the Enemies Were Searching the Mountain" 1943 Yan Han Black and White Woodcut 22×19cm Collection of CAFA Art MuseumDuring the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, a group of artists represented by Yan Han truly went to the battlefield and directly reflected the most intense and core scenes of the War of Resistance through their works. In 1938, Yan Han crossed the Yellow River with the Eighth Route Army to go to the front line of the War of Resistance. In 1942, the Japanese army carried out multiple "mopping-up operations" against the anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines in North China. With the help of local villagers, Yan Han and his comrades managed to break through the blockade."When the Enemies Were Searching the Mountain" was created by Yan Han in 1943 after he returned to Yan'an from the front line, in memory of his fallen comrades. The work not only shows the tenacity and resistance of the people under extreme oppression but also highlights the spiritual strength of military-civilian unity and solidarity as one. It demonstrates Yan Han's creative stance of closely combining art with the destiny of the nation.Excerpt from "When the Enemy Searches the Mountain"The work depicts a battle scene where soldiers and civilians collaborate and share a common hatred for the enemy amid the predicament of the enemy searching the mountains. The painting uses a triangular composition. At the visual center, an Eighth Route Army soldier, with the joint effort of the masses lifting him up, climbs out of the trench and is strafing the enemy with a light machine gun. On the left side of the painting are militia members eager to join the battle, while at the bottom of the painting, the people support the Eighth Route Army soldier with their own bodies. A crawling child holds a grenade high in his hand, ready to pass it to the soldier at any moment. The contrast between black and white colors and the variations in the thickness of the lines create a tense and intense atmosphere.Excerpt from "When the Enemy Searches the Mountain"This print truthfully and vividly reflects the arduous anti-Japanese struggle of the Chinese people, depicting the profound bond between the military and civilians who shared weal and woe like fish and water. It conveys a stirring spiritual power and has left a brilliant mark in the history of Chinese national art development.> > > >Collection Of CAFA Art Museum——Modern Chinese Art(Phase II)Exhibition Duration: Starting from July 1, 2025Exhibition Venue: Hall A, 2nd Floor, CAFA Art MuseumChief Editor / He YishaEditor / Du Yinzhu

: Liu Xian: "Strengthen Unity and Persist in the War of Resistance" | Collection and Exhibition of CAFAM

2025-09-02

> > > >The second phase of "Collection of CAFA Art Museum - Modern Chinese Art" is on display at the CAFA Art Museum. Among them, the "Modern Chinese Art" section includes 22 new works, ranging from traditional Chinese paintings, oil paintings to prints. These works are not only the individual expressions of artists, but also embody the exploration and reform in the torrent of history, responding to the times with modern forms and languages. This push will take you to appreciate this highly representative work in the history of modern Chinese prints - Strengthen Unity and Persist in the War of Resistance to the End.Strengthen Unity and Persist in the War of Resistance by Liu Xian, 1938, 11×9cm, wood engraving, collected by the Art Museum of Central Academy of Fine ArtsThis piece, Strengthen Unity and Persist in the War of Resistance is one of the representative works by Liu Xian, a pioneer of China's emerging woodcut movement in the 20th century. In 1938, after the full-scale outbreak of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, artists used knives as pens and prints as weapons to actively participate in propaganda and mobilization. Strengthen Unity and Persist in the War of Resistance was created during this period.Based on black - and - white woodcut, the work creates a solemn and powerful picture through rough knife techniques and strong light - dark contrast. At the center of the picture are the eight characters“Strengthen Unity and Persist in the War of Resistance”, which is an important slogan of the War of Resistance. Around them, planes are dropping bombs on the ground. Below these big characters, there are soldiers holding guns, ready to shoot. In the city at the bottom of the picture, there are people raising their arms and shouting, distributing leaflets; people who are blasting mountains and forging iron and manufacturing weapons to provide material support for the War of Resistance; soldiers who are charging forward or have been injured and carried away on stretchers. There are also warships, tanks, and the flag of the invaders that has been shot down in the lower right corner.A Partial View of "Strengthen Unity and Persist in the War of Resistance"Such a composition combining elements from different times and spaces, along with the meticulous wood engraving, was rare at that time. It is a classic masterpiece of wood engraving in Chinese prints in the first half of the 20th century, and also an excellent art work reflecting the spirit of the times in the history of anti-Japanese war art. From it, we can see Liu Xian's vision of calling on the people to unite as one and carry out an all-round resistance war through artistic creation.> > > >Collection Exhibition of CAFA Art Museum——Modern Chinese Art(Phase II)Exhibition Time: Starting from July 1, 2025Exhibition Venue: Gallery A, 2nd Floor, CAFA Art MuseumChief Editor / He YishaEditor / Du Yinzhu
