锦绣梦想
The Tale of Silk

宛如两种不同文化之间的桥梁，真丝方巾“途径巴黎”被展现在中国与西方书法之间。这是Hilton McConnico在《锦绣梦想》中对丝绸的第一次聚焦，灵巧地在丝绸诞生地和在丝绸上印花已有70年之久的爱马仕之间建立起了种种关联。造形师、设计师、摄影家、导演、编剧，这位客居巴黎的美国艺术家喜欢用色彩讲述故事，特别钟爱讲述丝绸的故事，1996年他专为爱马仕设计了《如丝梦幻》丝绸展，该展览曾在全世界范围内展出。2007年9月，Hilton McConnico为爱马仕在中国10周年，爱马仕丝巾问世70周年，特意创作的名为《锦绣梦想》的丝巾艺术展，在上海美术馆展出，观众无不被他的创意、幽默、及童趣所折服。
Like a bridge between two cultures, the scarf De passage à Paris is on exhibition with a mix of Chinese and Western calligraphies. This is the first allusion of Hilton McConnico, who – throughout the exhibition “The Tale of Silk” – has played in his own unique and poetic fashion with the connections and correlations between the birthplace of this noble material and Hermès, which has been expertly printing it for seventy years. Stylist, designer, photographer, filmmaker and set designer, this American artist in Paris is keen on telling colorful stories… Especially about silk, having designed the exhibition “Dream woven with silk” for Hermès. in 1996, an exhibition that travelled around the globe. “The Tale of Silk” exhibition - designed specially in September 2007 for the combined celebration of the 10th anniversary of Hermès in China and the 70th anniversary of Hermès scarves - impressed visitors with Hilton’s creation, unique humor and joy of child.

今天，在北京今日美术馆，爱马仕再次诚挚地邀您踏上这一次丝巾王国之旅，通过Hilton McConnico在中国古老艺术品与由他亲手遴选的爱马仕丝巾作品之间构建起了一场对话，来呈现爱马仕丝巾的“锦绣梦想”。展厅天花板上垂下一块水泥制成的方板，由数根细绳维系着，底部挂着一枚最娇嫩的蚕卵。透过顶上的天窗，蓝天与白云在参观者的头上尽情奔跑，一如爱马仕的精彩创意。Hilton McConnico通过神奇的创意，忠实再现了这一天然材质的特性，且不乏想像，贯彻了爱马仕一向追求的创新精神。

名为“二重奏”和“生命的真谛”丝巾将主题表现得淋漓尽致。同时展出的丝巾还有“爱马仕丝带”、“巴黎福宝大道24号”、“灵动的H”，尤其是丝巾“高尔夫球II”，应情应景，宛如那些喜爱摆弄丝巾的妇女，改换了功能......《锦绣梦想》是最恰当的展览名称，充满幽默、色彩、感觉与诗意的装置艺术，符合设计者一向的风格与形象。
Today, at Beijing Today Art Museum, Hermès has great pleasure in inviting you to experience a world of scarves again, in which Hilton McConnico presents a dialogue between Chinese antique pieces and Hermes scarves of his own choosing. A square of concrete, extracted from the ceiling and effortlessly suspended by thin wires, hangs over a very small egg. Through the skylight, clouds in the sky gallop along like the inspiration of Hermès. This piece encompasses all the magic of the scenography of Hilton McConnico, who succeeds in respecting the singular nature of this material while letting his imagination wander, echoing the inventiveness of the House. The scarves En duo and Au coeur de la vie fully express this profusion of ideas by flowing over the edges of their frames. There is also the famous Bolduc, 24 Faubourg, H cinétique, and Balles de golf II, which becomes animated, melting into the landscape and revising its use, following the example of woman who play with their scarves…“The Tale of Silk” is an apt name for this exhibition. Reflecting the spirit of its designer, it is full of? humour, colour, sensations and poetry.

倘若想要走入名为《骑士圆舞曲》的展厅看看，参观者得掀开丝绸质地的宽条门帘：从地面到天花板，一派木马旋转的景象，而丝绸的质地更给人栩栩如生的感觉。目光欣赏之余，忍不住伸手触摸一番。然后，又颇想调动味觉感官。看到这方名为“美食荟萃”的丝巾，味蕾就动了起来。墙面上的两个红丝绒壁龛里，一边展示着刀叉，另一边展示着中国筷子......爱马仕丝巾就这样讲述着由 Hilton McConnico创意的新奇别致的故事。丝巾让艺术家的思想得以奔腾，而这万千色彩的组合又让参观者萌发万千理解与感叹。在另一间有聚焦对称效果的展厅里，光线被切分打碎，Hilton McConnico所要展示的是图像的力量，七方丝巾画面中的细节被放大在黑白光线下，继而又被彩色光线凸显无疑。不远处，艺术家通过蜜蜂扑花的画面来展现两款分别名为“铜铃花”和“红莓”的丝巾魅力。而“墨西哥美人”中的几位舞蹈家旋转曼舞，正仿佛要将我们引入她们的舞蹈之中。另外十二幅方巾图案与巨型灯笼融为一体，为我们照亮了异域文化与韵律。
To enter “The Jockeys Circle”, one must clear a way through drapes of silk, an invitation to sensuality. After the sense of sight, the sense of touch is invoked. Then taste, and most importantly the taste buds, which are brought to life with the Gastronomie scarf. Here and there, two small niches hung with red velvet display a fork and knife on one side and chopsticks on the other… Hermès scarves tell stories that Hilton McConnico reinterprets with his vivid imagination. They make his mind gallop at full speed, giving rise to a thousand personal interpretations in multiple colour combinations. In a room split in two symmetrical parts, Hilton McConnico demonstrates “The Graphical Force” of seven scarves, unveiling the details of their motifs in black and white, and then in colour. Next, he highlights their charms with large bees gathering nectar and pollen from the Fleurs de fuchsia and Red Berries prints. Spinning dancers from Bells du Mexique break free, inviting the visitor to join in the dance. Mounted on huge Chinese lanterns, twelve different scarf designs shed light on various rhythms and cultures.

在另外一间装置作品中，艺术家展示了丝绸所有的神奇品质。其精致与坚实通过360把马刀表现得淋漓尽致：既高贵又坚固。 In another setting, all the magic of silk, its finesse, suppleness and hold, weave through three hundred sixty sabres, illustrating the paradox of this material, as delicate as it is strong.

谁人又能解出这道大黑板上的《丝绸方程式》呢？通过名为“拿出蜡笔”、“线团迷宫”和“游戏棒”的丝巾，Hilton McConnico 试着给出了充满幽默的回答，但那几支白色粉笔分明是邀请参观者想像更多可能的回答......和他在一起，所有一切都是开放的可能，而想像则是一片有待发掘的游戏天地。这也是为什么，在爱马仕的要求下，他在自己的创作中加入中国当代艺术家个人观点的原因。
Is there a solution to “The Silk Equation”? Using the scarves ? vos crayons, Fils conducteurs and Mikados, Hilton McConnico provides an answer tinged with humor. A few pieces of white chalk allow for many more to be imagined… With Hilton McConnico, the possibilities are endless and the imagination becomes an infinite playground to be explored in all its various facets. This is why, at the request of Hermès, he incorporated the personal vision of contemporary Chinese artists in his work.

中国艺术家丁乙加入了这一创作，秉承其一贯画风，专为爱马仕设计了一款由无数彩色小十字组成的，取名为“中国韵律”的丝巾。 Artist Ding Yi entered into the spirit of the game, designing an exclusive scarf, The Rhythm of China, printed with a vast number of small colourful checks, as in his paintings.

而导演李玉则拍摄了一部以中国著名当代舞蹈家黄豆豆为主角的艺术短片《若汐》。片中黄豆豆与红色丝绸融为一体，主宰着整个舞蹈，让丝绸和他一起灵动、曼舞，而绸缎就正如同他的舞伴，优雅至极。
