On the afternoon of July 28, a diverse range of people gathered at Dinghao DH3 in a quiet place on the 20th floor of Building A overlooking Weiming Lake and the beautiful scenery of Xishan Mountain for the kick-off of the Sixth Graduation Song 2023 Summer Exhibition. This exhibition was presented by Fangyuan Art Museum, hosted by Dinghao DH3, and co-organized by Fangyuan Art Museum, Finders Park, and LReading.

As the standout urban renewal project in Beijing, Dinghao DH3 has emerged from its cocoon and been reborn. Now, by following Zhongguancun's overall strategy of integration, openness, and renewal, Dinghao DH3 has enhanced the district's vitality, improved the ecosystem services industry and innovation alliances, and built a platform for business community interaction to create an intelligent, open, and human-centered ecosystem platform for science and technology innovation. Dinghao DH3 is not only a home for technological innovation. The project considers cultural development as its core mission, so it actively supports local cultural industries, and is committed to inspiring creativity, promoting cultural diversity, driving social progress, and creating a place that comprehensively nurtures and facilitates innovation in culture and art, thereby giving urban renewal projects a deeper meaning.

The theme of the Sixth Graduation Song art exhibition is "Leave Your Soul and Dreams Behind", meaning that in this world of art, the various art forms, passion, and love on display were the crystallization of these graduates' dreams and future pursuits. The exhibition was presented in two sections: "All Things Have a Soul - The Symbiosis of Art and Technology" and "Dream Poetry". The two exhibition halls of Dinghao DH3 and 798 Fangyuan Art Space allowed us to present a richer artistic experience. Together, they form this soul-stirring art exhibition.

The Zhongguancun - Dinghao DH3 Business Office Space has always followed the concept of "integrated technology and humanities lead the way to the future office". Within this international science and technology innovation ecosystem platform that integrates office, exhibition, interaction, and business services, art and culture are more than decorations and embellishments. Art and culture permeate every crack, corner, and stage of work at Dinghao DH3. Compared with traditional business spaces, "Dinghao DH3" has a greater focus on the integration of innovation and art into our buildings. As such, we provide technology practitioners with more opportunities for artistic inspiration and the collision of ideas through art exhibitions, cultural activities, and other events.

The "Artist Growth Plan" charity exhibition, under the "Graduation Song" label, has been held consecutively for six years. The focus of the Fangyuan Art Museum has always been the trends followed by recent art graduates, exploring and discovering outstanding potential among young artists, and providing them with a diversified and professional platform. In terms of creative style, form, materials, and so on, these offerings reflect the unique creative spirit of young artists amidst the context of contemporary art and culture.

This exhibition brings together 53 outstanding artist graduates from the Chinese National Academy of Arts, Central Academy of Fine Arts, Tsinghua University, China Academy of Art and other Chinese and foreign schools. They used academic language and diverse forms of art to present their works, demonstrating both their creative power and academic caliber. This interdisciplinary collaboration between artists broke through the barriers of traditional disciplines and expanded the boundaries of artistic creation, allowing this exhibition to present a diverse range of cultures and academic thinking.

This "Graduation Song" art exhibition was both an inspiring and innovative experience. It not only sat at the intersection of art and technology in the present, it was an exploration of future possibilities. Our goal for this artistic feast was to inspire courage to follow dreams and imagination in the heart of every visitor. Through art, we hoped to inspire people to remember their youth and find the courage to let their dreams take flight. Art lets us transcend the boundaries of time and space. Let's listen as it speaks to us, and let it inspire us to leave the indelible mark of our dreams upon the world.
