Dates: September 24–December 31, 2026

Location: Jing’an Sculpture Park, Shanghai, China

Curatorial Organization: UCCA Lab

Han Dong’s Ode to the Sun No. 5 (Heart of the Universe) and Ode to the Sun No. 15 (Cloud Beast 3) are on view at Jing’an Sculpture Park as part of the 2026 Jing’an International Sculpture Project (JISP).

Founded in 2010 and held biennially, JISP is one of mainland China’s earliest international public sculpture projects. The 2026 edition, “Shapes of Becoming,” takes Jing’an Sculpture Park as its main exhibition site and extends along West Nanjing Road and Suzhou Creek, connecting public art with the surrounding urban landscape.

The exhibition considers the changing relationship between sculpture, public space, and everyday life. As artificial intelligence, sensing technologies, and digital media reshape the boundaries between human and machine, physical and virtual, sculpture retains a direct relationship with material, weight, scale, and the human body. At the same time, moving images, sound, light, natural environments, and audiences themselves become part of its expanding possibilities.

“Shapes of Becoming” focuses on reality as an unfolding process: changes that are still taking shape, remain unresolved, or disappear almost as soon as they emerge. Within this setting, Han Dong’s two sculptures bring his ongoing Ode to the Sun series into the public space of the park.

2026静安国际雕塑展：空间涌现

展览时间：2026年9月24日—12月31日

展览地点：中国上海静安雕塑公园

策展机构：UCCA Lab

韩冬的《献给太阳的颂歌5号（宇宙之心）》与《献给太阳的颂歌15号（云兽3）》在静安雕塑公园展出，参加2026静安国际雕塑展（JISP）。

JISP创办于2010年，每两年举办一次，是中国大陆地区最早的国际公共雕塑项目之一。本届展览以“空间涌现”为主题，以静安雕塑公园为主展区，沿南京西路与苏州河延伸，将公共艺术与周边城市空间相连。

展览持续探讨雕塑、公共空间与日常生活之间不断变化的关系。当人工智能、感知技术与数字媒介进一步进入日常，人与机器、虚拟与现实之间的边界也在发生变化。雕塑依然与材料、重量、尺度和人的身体保持直接联系；与此同时，影像、声音、光、自然环境乃至观众本身，也正在成为雕塑的一部分。

“空间涌现”关注的是持续生成的现实：那些正在发生、尚未定型，甚至转瞬即逝的变化。在这一语境中，韩冬以两件“献给太阳的颂歌”系列作品，将其持续的雕塑探索带入公园的公共空间。
