“Bubble” experiments with glass and metal tubes, testing stainless steel, aluminum, brass and copper functioning as glass blowpipes. With limits of annealing coefficient and heat resistance, copper is the only one to survive during the blowing and annealing process. The copper blowpipe is thus preserved and itself becomes part of the work.
Pipe in nature is associated with the action of transfer, always flowing inside, filled with energy that does not have a solid shape. Blowing bubbles is a creative activity by breathing. It creates a magic orb and encapsulation of breath. Breathing in mythology is a magic technique to activate life while blowing glass is breathing in to bring a piece of art to life. “Bubble” retains the moment before bubbles float and burst, presenting the primitive blowing state. Light is then injected into them through optical fibers, like blood vessels, in completion of the entire breathing process.
It’s tough to preserve bubbles’ timid life in all senses. Metal breaks the glass, glass melts metal. I doubted if I should not be contrary to the physical nature of the materials. Surprisingly, the only suitable material I found, copper, can change color at high temperatures into a beautiful bright red, like blood permeating through copper, magnified by the glass. The only result that material leads to may fulfill the aphorism of Heraclitus, “phusis kruptesthai philei”. The secrets of nature tend to hide.

宋淳2019年毕业于南京航空航天大学，后就读于纽约大学互动艺术(ITP)专业。回国后创立新音乐界面研制小组、加入弱电子制造厂项目，现居阳朔做独立创作，作品关注材料、地方和人，关注自然的逻辑。
宋淳制作家具、装置、声音，以不同的媒介学习一个事物在时间流动下的创生过程、显现过程或发展过程，以此开展关于去发现自然的秘密的艺术实践和研究。现长居阳朔，学习并试图理解、区分、融合人的技艺和自然的技艺，企图以人的技艺去实现一种显现自然的过程。
工作室画廊2016初成立于上海。目前经营着两处实体空间，画廊空间专注于艺术家的工作呈现与推广；工作室空间作为画廊空间的学术引擎，聚焦于非营利性的艺术研究与记录。目前国际艺术家驻留是其主要项目之一。
工作室画廊不是简单意义上的画廊空间+工作室空间；而是一种对艺术生产和消费机制的重构。通过对艺术家工作状态的深入观察，探究其艺术创作的真实动机；努力协助艺术家把工作中产生的价值转化成共识。
自成立以来，工作室画廊除了举办专业性的展览，还发起了多个话题性的艺术项目：基于艺术家工作过程记录的《艺术家讨论》；基于艺术家驻留工作汇报的《OpenStudio》；基于艺术家创作交流以及评论的《艺术现场》和《Critique Room》。
Studio Gallery was established in Shanghai in early 2016. Currently operating two physical spaces. The gallery space focuses on the presentation and promotion of artists' long-term practice; the studio space serves as the academic engine of the gallery space, focusing on non-profit art research programs and documentation. At the present, the international artist residency project is one of its main programs.
Studio Gallery is not a gallery space + studio space in the simple sense; rather, it is a reconstruction of the mechanism of art production and consumption. Through in-depth observation of artists' working process, it explores the true motives of their art practice; and strives to assist artists in transforming the values generated from their practice into consensus.
Since its establishment, Studio Gallery has not only held abundant professional exhibitions but also initiated several topical art projects: "Artist Talk" based on the documenting of artists' working process; "Open Studio" based on the reviewing of artists' working experience in their art residency; “Open Critique" and "Critique Room" based on the opinion exchange of artists' actual works as well as criticism.
