Speech by Wang Xiaolin, Deputy Party Secretary of the Central Academy of Fine Arts
In her speech, Wang Xiaolin, Deputy Party Secretary of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, stated that the "Wide Angle°" project, jointly launched by the Art Museum and the Teacher Work Department, is small in scale yet vibrant and dynamic, providing an excellent experimental venue for young teachers to create. Compared with large-scale exhibitions with grand themes, this space better stimulates the initiative of creators and is a highly valuable project. The Central Academy of Fine Arts has always upheld the spirit of academic research and encouraged debate and exploration in the field of artistic creation, which is a normal and necessary part of academia. Such exhibitions not only build a platform for young teachers to exchange ideas and discuss, but also show students the academic style of CAFA's faculty, setting an example for their future professional development. At the same time, this platform forms a positive cycle of "teaching and learning benefit each other—teachers improve—feedback into teaching," which aligns with the school's core pursuit of fostering an academic atmosphere and enhancing teaching quality.
Han Wenchao, secretary of the directly affiliated party branch of CAFA Art Museum, delivered a speech
中央美术学院美术馆直属党支部书记韩文超介绍“广角°青年实验项目空间”平台是为展示年轻师生团队的教学科研、学术创作所搭建的。杜英奇的个人作品展作为“广角°”第三期项目的收尾展，这些作品契合空间，将日常熟悉的尺寸放大后极具艺术与生命张力，能引发人们对自然、生命及艺术本质的思考。他们体现了美院人专业执着，且在传统造型语言中融入当代思考。
中央美术学院人事处处长杨杰致辞
中央美术学院人事处处长杨杰表示，观展时深感本次展览在展陈设计、作品质量以及所蕴含的实验性与探索性方面均表现突出，这充分彰显了杜英奇老师在长期创作研究与教学实践中积累的深厚功底。他强调，服务和支持广大中青年教师发展成是教师工作部的核心职责之一。目前已推出的 “种子计划” 涵盖展览、出版等支持内容，后续还新增了国外驻留项目，旨在为教师搭建多元成长平台，助力其专业能力提升。希望通过此类项目进一步激活美院的学术展览氛围，构建更具活力的学术生态，使 “广角 °” 成为业内及社会公认的品牌，成为央美扶持年轻教师的标志性项目。
中央美术学院雕塑系系主任张伟致辞
中央美术学院雕塑系系主任张伟在致辞中首先向杜英奇送上祝贺，并用 “非常震撼” 形容观展感受。他谈及留校五年的杜英奇是雕塑系教学当之无愧的中坚力量。作为第二工作室的核心教学骨干，杜英奇在教学中承担重要职责，更在去年雕塑系 90 周年展览相关工作中展现出突出的理论与文案梳理能力。令张伟尤为惊叹的是，即便被画册编纂工作占据大量精力，杜英奇仍在短时间内创作并呈现了一批巨型、充满空间感的全新作品，这些作品虽与过往创作存在关联，却展现了全新突破，在创作、工作与生活中实现了高效平衡。
中央美术学院雕塑系教授陈科致辞
中央美术学院雕塑系教授陈科结合过往记忆与观展体验，分享了对杜英奇创作特质的深刻见解，杜英奇的创作更是一段心路历程的展现，作品在持续进化，即便相同的材料也能在不断组合中焕发新的生命力，这一特质让他十分赞赏。谈及本次展览，他表示，尽管场地不大，但对艺术家而言，这样的空间反而能激发创作灵感——创作者往往会根据场地特点决定作品形态，或基于既有构思结合空间进行再创造，作品的尺度与呈现方式基本与空间高度适配，这种创作与空间的互动性堪称一大亮点。
中央美术学院人文学院美术史系教授曹庆晖致辞
中央美术学院人文学院美术史系教授曹庆晖在致辞中高度评价杜英奇的个人素养与创作实力，同时肯定了雕塑系集体对人才成长的助力。杜英奇这位实践类背景的教师具备极强的史学意识，能够沉心钻研相关领域，这种跨界素养尤为特殊。针对本次展览，曹庆晖重点提及作品与空间的关系。他指出，多数展览是 “空间中的作品”，而杜英奇的作品则实现了 “抓住空间” 的突破——作品体量巨大且极具标志性，巧妙适配了 “广角 °”场地的规定性。
