好奇心,是驅動我們不斷探索邊界的原動力。
1928年,世界首部有聲動畫電影《威利號汽船》於紐約上映,一隻隨音樂起舞的小老鼠——「米奇」自此進入大眾視野,陪伴了一代代人的成長。
Curiosity is the power that propels us to explore boundaries.
Since 「Steamboat Willie」, the first animated film with synchronized sound, hit the silver screen in1928 in New York, a little dancing mouse—Mickey Mouse—has captured the hearts and minds of fans of all ages, across generations, around the world.
近百年來,伴隨着社會、經濟、文化的進階和現代人精神需求的變化,「米奇」已從早期動畫短片的主角發展成為當今全球流行文化的代表符號之一,跨越了不同文化和地域,對影視、藝術、商業生產等各個領域產生了積極影響。
「米奇」所傳遞的好奇心和不懼挑戰的精神,驅動著這一形象的不斷演進,造就了如今的時代意義。
Over the past 100 years, as societies, economies and cultures have developed and the spiritual needs of people changed, Mickey Mouse has grown from the protagonist of early animated short films to a global pop culture icon that has transcended cultural and regional differences and been a positive force of influence across animation, art and beyond.
The spirit of optimism, curiosity and fearlessness that Mickey represents continues to propel the character to explore and push boundaries, making his legacy today as strong as ever.
2018年,「好奇無界:米奇藝術展」首次在紐約開展。在米奇「誕生」90周年之際,迪士尼邀請到不同文化背景的藝術家,以多元的視角重新解讀這一最為廣為人知的動畫人物,激活米奇在當下的無限定義。

To celebrate Mickey’s90th anniversary, Disney invited artists from diverse cultural backgrounds to reimagine the world’s most famous animated character, sparking a fantastical exploration of the possibilities of what Mickey means to our times.

本次空間設計採取中式布局和現代城市布局相結合的形式,同時新增了沉浸式空間體驗,引導觀者主動尋找更多意料之外的神秘隱藏空間。
圍繞米奇為主線索,藝術家們分別從三種方式與靈感發起無界想像:將米奇經典的熒幕個體形象解構再重構;將米奇編排進藝術構想的空間,講述全新敘事;將米奇與各種文化語境進行巧妙融合。
Inspiring a natural curiosity from within, the exhibition space is designed around the central theme of「Ever Curious」 and invites the audience on an exploration of the senses as they embark on an adventure in Mickey’s world.
The exhibition design combines both traditional Chinese and modern urban elements, while creating an immersive experience for the audience and guiding them to discover hidden spaces and surprises within the exhibition.
