Since ancient times, ‘time’ has long been a topic of endless pursuit by artists all over the world. With the successful conclusion of the Milan exhibition, on March 7, 2013, Triennale Design Museum cooperated with the Italian Embassy Cultural Office in Beijing to hold a new exhibition [Time-Time Design, Design Time] in the Beijing Central Museum of Art, which is also worthy of attention. The thing is that this exhibition is co-organized with Italian fine watchmaking brand Panerai. Watch House was invited to participate in the opening ceremony of the exhibition and the entire process of participation. Next, please follow the text and pictures to experience the artistic charm from time.

   The exhibition venue was chosen to be held in the very famous Central Academy of Fine Arts Museum. Many well-known exhibitions will be held here. The museum is 24 meters high, 6 floors in total, 4 floors above ground, and 2 floors underground. The ground floor is an office area with offices, creative rooms, and conference rooms. The venue is very open.

   Following the guidance of the staff, we came to the first floor of the art museum and entered the gate. The bright red [time-time design, design time] background board and the pure white building structure formed a sharp contrast, unique artistic atmosphere. Come on.

   [Time-time design, design time] The media conference for the art exhibition was held on the first basement floor of the museum. We received simultaneous translation headsets at the check-in desks, and brought our special pencils and notebooks from Panerai to the venue.

    The media seats in the back row got up early and set up a ‘gun and short cannon’ to capture the wonderful moment of this event.

   The guests at the [Time-Time Design, Design Time] art conference media conference were all heavyweights. In addition to the responsible person of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, the designer of the exhibition, Patricia Urquiola, We are very familiar with the CEO of Panerai brand Angelo Bonati, who also came to the scene and expressed his great honor to be able to participate in such activities. At the same time, as a businessman who sells time, what he wants to do is sell endless time to everyone. Of course, he knew it was just a joke. Although it is difficult to achieve this, it is possible to sell to everyone the perfect time, and this is also the realm of the Panerai brand. A reporter at the scene asked Mr. Angelo Bonati what he thinks about the development of the Panerai brand in China. He said: China has become the center of the world in the current era. We came here to use our own technology and design for this. People provide the best timepieces, and we are also confident that people here will deeply fall in love with this niche Panerai.

    As Mr. Angelo Bonati himself said, Panerai’s unstoppable controversy has become popular among domestic watch fans, as if all of us were indulged in its very different design and extraordinary craftsmanship overnight.

   After the exciting press conference, we can finally bring all our curiosity and excitement to the third floor of the art museum to watch the [Time-Time Design, Design Time] exhibition scene. Before entering the scene, a clock logo combined with an electronic display attracted the attention of many people, and also highlighted the theme of this time.

Before officially entering the exhibition grounds, eight Panerai watches were placed at the door. Their display was carefully designed, and it has also become a gathering place for passersby. It is not the protagonist of the exhibition, but it is indeed a grab. Full of limelight.

Because no spotlight is installed, the watch is a little dark.

Although the number of watches on the scene is limited, this really makes friends who love Panerai feel a bit unpleasant.

For this ‘Time-Time Design, Design Time’ exhibition, the British artist Damien Hirst specially designed two exhibits, both of which use rotating painting techniques and painted on canvas with Panerai dials and home lacquer. to make. One of them is an artwork called Beautiful Sunflower Panerai Painting.
These two artworks are the result of the collaboration between Panerai and Damien Hirst. Damien Hirst has also used Panerai’s dials for many paintings in the past. For example, in 2005 ‘Skull with Watch’, he painted a Panerai on a table with drugs and a skull Watch. In the works of The Tranquility of Solitude (for George Dyer) (2006) and Killing Time (2008), he even used authentic Panerai watches.
的 The exhibits at the exhibition site are very abstract, and at the same time everyone is enjoying and communicating with interest.
At the end of the event, all the invited guests came to the stage to cut the ribbon for the [time-time design, design time] art exhibition, and also had a very good wish for it. I hope that this event will allow more people to deeply appreciate the time Feeling time, as a watch lover, I even hope that Panerai can become a better ‘time seller’ in the future.
