On the bank of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, to the left of Wuzhen Ancient Street, the Muxin Art Museum stands quietly on a piece of quiet water, nestled among thousands of years old trees, bathed in the morning sun. The spring breeze in March is like a huge book, quietly waiting for people who understand it to read and appreciate it.
Mu Xin had a clear design for the style of his art museum during his lifetime. He once said: "My art museum should be boxes one after another. People can walk from one box to another while listening to Mozart's music. Box." According to Mu Xin's wish, the Mu Xin Art Museum is connected by three or five square modern geometric shapes. The entire building faces south and spans the water of Wuzhen Yuanbao Lake.
The first and second floors of Mu Xin Art Museum are divided into five special galleries, where Mu Xin's works are permanently displayed. The museum displays about a hundred paintings and about fifty manuscripts.
On display in the art gallery on the first floor are Mu Xin’s ink paintings from various periods as well as the brushes and paints he used. Most of Mu Xin's art works are very abstract, and some don't even have names, making it difficult for people to understand their meaning. However, through the enlarged version played in the underground multi-functional hall, after enlarging a painting, you can clearly feel the raging waves, The hard texture of the rock, even the glimmer of a drop of water can be seen. In Mu Xin's words: "The original image on paper is my method, and the enlarged image is my work."
The exhibition hall on the second floor mainly displays what Mu Xin was killed in the water-filled air-raid shelter during his lifetime. While in prison, he obtained paper and pen for writing inspection and continued to devote himself to literary creation. He wrote 66 pages of manuscripts in prison, totaling 132 pages and about 650,000 words. Since I treasured the hard-earned paper, I wrote very densely, the size of which was even smaller than a grain of rice. Due to the erosion of time, some words were even unclear to the author, but Mu Xin completed the interpretation of Hegel's famous saying "Art is great intuition" in this special form. He hopes to find his place in existence with austere archetypes.
In the staircase reading room on the first floor, sunlight slants into the room through the blinds, shining on each leather cushion embedded in the wooden steps, and shining on each quiet reader, bringing The long shadow was firmly attached to the photocopied manuscript of Mu Xin on the wall, seeming to be getting closer to Mu Xin in an instant.
Walking out of Mu Xin Art Museum, Mu Xin’s voice seemed to be lingering in my ears, “Wind, water, a bridge.” These few words highly summarized the art museum and the surrounding scenery, and The metaphor of "bridge" also describes Mu Xin's lifelong artistic practice of integrating Eastern and Western culture and aesthetics. Mu Xin once said: "Paper, cloth, wood and stone are all dead. It is these dead substances, objects and objects that preserve people's mourning heart, as well as wisdom and sentiment, joy, anger, sorrow, music, poetry and proverbs. , the great privacy, the great desire of the earth - it is the dead things that preserve the living will. God has given the earth a favor, children, you must cherish it!"
One pavilion, one part. Books, the condensation of architecture and the flow of thoughts, ink paintings and words are adsorbed on every tree and stone. This three-story square space is filled with an indescribable melancholy. This is what Mu Xin Art Museum is to Mu Xin.
