泪笔

收集哀者的眼泪

Crylus

Heart breaks,
Tear falls,
Melted diamonds form unspoken words.

Let it out,
Let it out,
May all the sorrow be gone,
May all the memory come

The pen is designed to catch tears which mix with the solid ink and allows the user to embed their sadness in the note to a lost loved one.

It is a hand blown borosilicate glass pen filled with ink crystals.

这支笔是设计给失去爱人的哀者，来帮助他们度过最难过的时期。笔的尾端可以收集哀者的眼泪，并将它们与固体的墨融合形成墨水，来让哀者将自己的思念融成文字，写一封信给他们逝去的爱人。笔身是手工吹制的玻璃笔，其中包含着水晶形状的固体墨水。这个作品是设计给品牌whatnot，并在2016年米兰设计周与画廊Spazio Rossana Orlandi展览卖出。

“Heart breaks, Tear falls, Melted diamonds form unspoken words.

It is a hand blown borosilicate glass pen filled with ink crystals. This project was designed for brand whatnot and was exhibited and sold with Spazio Rossana Orlandi in Salone del Mobile Milano in 2016.

Designer

Hello, my name is Chang Liu. I am an industrial designer currently based in Chicago. I am fascinated by the hidden meaning of the materials that surround us in the many different kinds of objects. My works are intended to magnify people’s senses for their surroundings while observing the present—the true meaning of living in the moment.I received my Masters of Design in Designed Objects at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2016.

Other Works

Melting Vase

Melting Vace is a collection of vases that represent the beauty of impermanence by capturing the impact of small temperature changes on the melting process of an ice-cube. The form of each vase is generated by layered photographs taken every five minutes of the shrinking silhouette of the melting ice-cube, and the expanding silhouette of the resulting water puddle. Stacked chronologically, these shapes are finally covered in a virtual solid skin. The entire melting process has been abstracted / defamiliarized to reveal a time-based object.

By concentrating the viewer’s attention on the nuance of a simple phenomenon (like an ice-cube melting), this work is intended to magnify people’s sensory perception and awareness of the subtle changes in their everyday surroundings and encourage them to be in the present—live in the moment.

Coat hooks

This is a collaboration with CB2. The theme of this project is “LivE Well,” which I think means staying organized and having a little fun. Coat Hooks can help people manage their belongings and pay more attention to what they have.

Fox International Art（北京部）已经经历了5年的风吹雨打，我们从不人云亦云，一直坚持自己独有的风格。2018年，Fox做了一个大胆的尝试，空间逐步升级，整栋五层将以一个新的实验性空间呈现（实验性意味着不断尝试被颠覆和修改），能够近距离感受艺术氛围带来的启发和碰撞。五层空间不同于其它精装修的办公空间，巧妙的结合了“贫穷艺术”，我们来回奔波与各个回收站、垃圾场、废墟、甚至是一些肮脏的地方，收集各种被丢弃或者失去意义的物体进行再创作，如废弃的冰箱、复古的洗衣机、扭曲的铁锅、有痕迹的管道、破裂的马桶、被撕毁的旧沙发、残缺的浴缸...再将生活里的各个有趣场景延伸到我们的空间里，加入新的故事情节，去重新定义物体的价值与空间的多样性。空间包涵Workshop、展览馆、艺术当铺和药铺、材料综合商店（厨房theme）、自由交流区（街头洗衣房theme）、艺术图书馆(下水道theme)、阅读区(澡堂theme)、楼道（火灾现场theme）、不正常人类后花园(红色沙滩theme)等多个开放性空间。我们将打造全国首家最具有实验性的艺术空间，让艺术和生活得到无限的连接和启发。

理念与使命

Idea and Mission

“艺术是一棵树摇动另一棵树，一朵云推动另一朵云，一个灵魂唤醒另一个灵魂。作为艺术家应该承担着改变人们生活的责任，应该学会成为真正的创作者，而不仅仅是当做一个职业。”

狐狸国际艺术是中国唯一一家把海外艺术教育与产品设计开发结合为一体的实验性艺术工作室。旗下设有：Fox International Art College(狐狸国际艺术教育学院）、产品开发基地、设计师经纪公司、展览馆、综合材料商店、快闪店、艺术当铺、艺术药铺和图书馆等多个部门。核心团队由英国伦敦中央圣马丁艺术与设计学院、伦敦时装学院、英国皇家艺术学院、美国帕森斯设计学院、芝加哥设计学院等海归设计师、艺术家以及海内外的专家教授在2010年于伦敦成立，2014年在北京重新建立新的艺术基地。

Fox国际艺术坚持传达狐狸精神-无畏、自由和颠覆。保持的使命是启发创意的无限延伸，倾尽全力创造平等机会、提倡多样性、充满活力与革新精神的工作环境，这也使工作室能吸引最有才能和创造力的设计师团队。不同文化的冲击，力求独特、创意、自由、甚至是极端反叛的艺术氛围，创意在这里并不是纸上谈兵。

Fox各个部门的设计师与学员，无论是背景还是专业能力都是业界首屈一指，与众多知名一线品牌、著名博物馆合作过，如大英博物馆、V&A博物馆、德国国立宝石博物馆、Guicci、Cartier、Alexander McQueen、施华洛世奇、Gareth Pugh、John Galliano、Dior、Alexander Wang、Giles Deacon、陈奕迅、余文乐等。
