for providing the following description:

Held from July 19 to October 12, 2014

at Power Station of Art

200 Huayuangang Rd, Huangpu, Shanghai, China

日本设计师Tokujin Yoshioka与腕表品牌卡地亚（Cartier）合作举行名为“卡地亚时间艺术—钟表家的热情”（“Cartier Time Art – Mechanic of Passion”）的世界巡回展览。此次展览于中国上海当代艺术博物馆举行，呈现151枚卡地亚古老腕表、16枚卡地亚艺术系列之“艺术大师”腕表、20枚“制造运动系列”腕表及15枚“卡地亚高级制表系列”腕表，充分展示卡地亚钟表技术和美学的非凡创新成果。

此次展览最让人印象深刻的是从钟表工匠到设计师的卡地亚钟表家们勇于创新的精神，这种精神力量已经渗入展览的每一个角落。

主持设计师Tokujin Yoshioka曾经设计过2009年卡地亚于东京国立博物馆Hyokeikan美术馆举办的展览。在这次“卡地亚时间艺术”展览中，Tokujin力求从历史传统及先锋创意两个方面来展现卡地亚腕表的独特魅力。以3D效果展示的腕表将卡地亚的新时代节奏传递到每个参观者的心中。

不同层次的透明度将整个空间变成了镜体，展示着价值远远超过其小巧尺寸的腕表艺术品。

光亮照射着150,000条透明纤维，巨大的透镜将人们带往通向未来的大门。

The brilliant innovations of technology and aesthetics for Cartier timepieces will be on display in an traveling international exhibition directed by Tokujin Yoshioka, titled “Cartier Time Art – Mechanic of Passion.” ¬The exhibition will be held at Power Station of Art in Shanghai, China.

The exhibition will showcase 151 historical pieces from the Cartier Collection, 16 “Métiers d’art” watches from the Cartier d’Art Collection, 20 Manufacture Movements, 15 watches from the Cartier Fine Watchmaking Collection.

Throughout this temporal journey, one key element standing out is the daring spirit of Cartier’s watchmaker, from its craftsman to its designers, which has been imbued in the exhibition scenography.

The exhibition is to be directed by Tokujin Yoshioka, who participated as a director in an exhibition of Cartier Collection in 2009 at Tokyo National Museum, Hyokeikan Gallery. In “Cartier Time Art”, Tokujin intends to highlight Cartier’s unique beauty by merging two essential components; its tradition of the history, and the avant-grade ideas for the future. The pieces on display, by means of original 3D setting will implant Cartier’s new time beat in each heart of visitors.

Layers of transparency alter the whole room as a lens and allude image that transcends dimensions.

150,000 of transparent fibers are affected by the light and the enormous lens take people to the gate of the future.

时间艺术—Tokujin Yoshioka

卡地亚在对美的不懈追求中创造时间，

工匠们用完美和谐的工艺将时间打磨成艺术品。

时间

时间如光、如风、如气味、如空气，无法看见更无法触摸，

然而它那美妙的音律奏响我们日常生活的每一天。

当今世界为时间赋予了价值。

而最重要的价值是人生体验。

体验推动时间向前，体验构成我们成长的根基。

每一段记忆都在心间生根，推动时间缓缓流走。

悠长的历史和先进的理念，

截然相反，却又和谐融为卡地亚的独特魅力。

3D短片揭露钟表制作的秘密，

展览空间凝聚所有参观者的热情。

希望卡地亚的新时代节奏能植入每个人的心间。

Time Art

Tokujin Yoshioka

Cartier creates time in an endless pursuit of beauty.

The perfect harmony instilled by Cartier’s craftsmen refines time itself to an art.

Time

Like light, wind, scent, and air, we can neither see time nor hold it,

Yet its beautiful rhythm beats throughout each day of our lives.

In today’s material world, time has value.

The important thing is experience.

Experience nurtures time. It is the ground on which we grow.

Each memory takes seed in the heart, and the stream of time flows on.

A long history and avant-grade ideas for the future.

Cartier’s unique beauty comes from the merging of these two extremes.

The space, with 3D films depicting the mechanism of the watch,

Will wrap around the heats of visitors.

I hope their experience here will implant Cartier’s new timebeat in each life.
