足球是一項(xiàng)號(hào)稱"世界第一運(yùn)動(dòng)"的體育運(yùn)動(dòng)。她的魅力可以使數(shù)以億計(jì)的人們同時(shí)吶喊、熱血沸騰。然而足球的魅力并非只是一項(xiàng)體育運(yùn)動(dòng)這么簡(jiǎn)單，無論你是球迷或者不是球迷，都會(huì)被這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)所裹脅，進(jìn)入到其中或在她的周圍。 2018 年"世界杯"的決賽期讓我們直接感受到了足球的熱浪以及所涉及到的周邊。對(duì)于我這個(gè)非球迷來說，冠軍是誰早已模糊。但至今仍然記得英雄的克羅地亞隊(duì)和大雨磅礴的頒獎(jiǎng)典禮上那只被撐起來的傘。
　　我一直用"無界"的理念構(gòu)筑生活和藝術(shù)的關(guān)系。這次在萬營藝術(shù)空間借助馬格利特的名畫《這不是煙斗》的啟發(fā)，策劃并形成一個(gè)藝術(shù)項(xiàng)目："這不是足球"。用尚未冷卻的足球余溫，建構(gòu)"重新認(rèn)識(shí)"和"重新思考"的橋梁。用"足球"做為平臺(tái)，討論人、社會(huì)和生活的關(guān)系。
　　這是一個(gè)以藝術(shù)的方式，借助足球這個(gè)帶有全民性的運(yùn)動(dòng) , 把不同的人群匯聚到一處進(jìn)行思考和認(rèn)識(shí)的平臺(tái)，超越足球本身的界限，對(duì)我們生活的世界和處境進(jìn)行再思考。在規(guī)則與反規(guī)則之間建構(gòu)橋梁，使得更多的公眾參與到這個(gè)討論中。
　　我選擇不同身份的作者參加這次展覽：章清、李波是藝術(shù)家，張五一是收藏家，還有石家莊當(dāng)?shù)氐暮颖睅煼洞髮W(xué)美術(shù)與設(shè)計(jì)學(xué)院團(tuán)隊(duì)，以及萬營藝術(shù)空間團(tuán)隊(duì)。使用"無界"的空間展示作品，每件作品既是獨(dú)立的作品呈現(xiàn)，又有著眾多相互關(guān)聯(lián)的互文關(guān)系。整個(gè)展覽是一個(gè)不斷發(fā)生交流事件的平臺(tái)。也可以說："這不是展覽"。
　　質(zhì)疑和反思是創(chuàng)造的源泉。希望公眾保持"這不是 XX"的視角，換一個(gè)角度看世界，世界就會(huì)改變。

It is charming not just because it is a sport. Whether you are a fan or not, you will be caught up in the game unwittingly. During the 2018 World Cup finals, we had personal experience of the passion for football around us. For me, who has never been a football fan, and it has turned vague long ago who the champion was, I could still remember the heroic Croatian team and the umbrella that was held up at the awards ceremony in the heavy rain.
　　I have been constructing the relationship between life and art under the concept of "boundlessness". This time, inspired by the famous painting of Rene Magritte, "This Is Not a Pipe", I have planned and organized an art project at Wanying Art Museum, "This is Not a Football Game". It is to construct a bridge between "re-recognizing" and "re-thinking", following the lingering passion for football. We take "football" as a platform to discuss the relations among people, society and life.
　　This is a platform with art as a form, to bring different people together in one place for thinking and understanding, by virtue of football, a sport of the whole people. It has gone beyond the limits of football itself to rethink the world we live in and the circumstances we find around ourselves. We build up a bridge between rules and anti-rules, allowing more people to participate in the discussion.
　　I have invited people of different identities to participate in the exhibition. Zhang Qing and Li Bo are artists. Zhang Wuyi is a collector. The participants also include art students from the Department of Fine Arts in Hebei Normal University and the Wanying art team in Shijiazhuang. We display the works in "boundless" space. Each work is presented as an independent entity, while they are interconnected in multiple ways. The entire exhibition is a platform for constant exchanges. It can also be said that "This is not an Exhibition."
　　Questioning and reflection are the sources of creation. We hope that the public keep the perspective of "This is not XX", and look at the world in another way, and the world will change.
