前言
Introduction

八年前，北京CBD已经是充满活力的经济与金融中心，汇集了各类专业人士在这里辛勤工作，推动着中国的前行。在这片商业的浪潮中，我们不禁要问：艺术在哪里？艺术能找到属于它的一席之地吗？艺术的存在不可或缺 —— 它带来平衡、慰藉心灵，并在北京CBD日常的繁忙节奏中，为心灵注入清新的力量。
Eight years ago, Beijing’s CBD was a vibrant nucleus of economic and financial activity, pulsating with the energy of driven professionals propelling China forward. Amid this whirl of commerce, we had to ask: where is the art, where could art find its place? Indeed, art is essential—it offers balance, provides solace, and cleanses the soul from the day-to-day frenzy of Beijing’s bustling CBD.
2016年，金杜艺术中心优雅庄重地坐落在北京CBD的核心。自成立以来，这里已发展为一个艺术交流与文化思考的栖息地。通过艺术与空间的结合，人们在CBD得以享受宁静的沉思，同时获得通往全球创意领域的窗口 —— 在艺术中找到自己，也在艺术中短暂迷失。In 2016, the KWM artcenter gracefully debuted within the heart of Beijing’s CBD. Since its inception, it has flourished into a sanctuary for artistic exchange and cultural reflection. Through its offerings of art and place, people of the CBD were afforded tranquil introspection and a portal to the globe’s creative pursuits, and the dual privilege of finding and losing oneself simultaneously through art.
在金杜艺术中心8周年之际，我们隆重策划了 “共鸣与新生”的特展，展现多元背景与视角的艺术作品。这些作品不仅反映了艺术家对社会、历史与自我存在的探讨，也叙述了金杜艺术中心推动艺术、沉思与变革体验的使命，为北京CBD的人们带来深刻影响。
To commemorate our 8th anniversary, we are thrilled to introduce “Resonance and Renewal,” a unique exhibition celebrating a diversity of backgrounds and viewpoints. These works not only mirror the artists’ inquires into society, history, and existence, but also narrate the KWM artcenter’s mission to foster art, contemplation, and transformative experiences for the inhabitants of Beijing’s CBD.
我们向每一位艺术家、收藏家和到访客人，表达深深的谢意。正是因为有了你们的参与，我们的艺术视野更加广阔，也丰富了每一位观众的生活与心灵。
We express profound thanks to every artist, collaborator, and visitor who has contributed to our narrative. Your involvement has brightened our artistic horizons and your art has enriched the lives and souls of those it touches.
诚挚邀请您一同回顾金杜艺术中心的第一个八年。“一个遗忘艺术的社会，将面临失去灵魂的风险”，让我们铭记这一点，并共同展望一个焕然一新的未来，继续推动艺术融入CBD的生活脉络。
We cordially invite you to join us in reflecting on the KWM artcenter’s initial eight years. Let us hold tightly the words “a society that forgets the arts risks losing its soul”, and together anticipate a rejuvenated future, continuing our advocacy for integrating art into the fabric of CBD life.
