德國(guó)漢堡當(dāng)?shù)貢r(shí)間2018年2月20日，正是中國(guó)歡度春節(jié)時(shí)節(jié)，第七屆德國(guó)漢堡“中國(guó)時(shí)代”活動(dòng)在當(dāng)?shù)貑?dòng)。在活動(dòng)中，吳哲仁在中華人民共和國(guó)駐德國(guó)漢堡總領(lǐng)館孫從彬總領(lǐng)事的見(jiàn)證下，把一幅寓意著中德兩國(guó)友好發(fā)展的作品《漢堡之夢(mèng)》贈(zèng)送給德國(guó)漢堡第一市長(zhǎng)肖爾茨先生。這張畫寓意著中德兩國(guó)的自由平等、共同友好發(fā)展，取名《漢堡之夢(mèng)》，表達(dá)了畫家吳哲仁的美好愿望和祝福。吳哲仁對(duì)市長(zhǎng)先生說(shuō)，這幅作品是特意為此次活動(dòng)創(chuàng)作的，對(duì)于他本人而言意義重大，因?yàn)槟軌驗(yàn)橹械挛幕涣髯鲂┝λ芗暗氖伦约焊械椒浅s幸。

吳哲仁是浙江湖州人，雖是一位畫家，但是近幾年來(lái)，熱衷于兩國(guó)文化交流，努力將德國(guó)藝術(shù)家介紹到中國(guó)，近一年來(lái)，在他的努力下，德國(guó)音樂(lè)家在中國(guó)舉辦的音樂(lè)會(huì)有18場(chǎng)。一位畫家緣何鐘情于中德文化交流呢？

吳哲仁自幼喜歡繪畫。高中畢業(yè)后，他到德國(guó)求學(xué)，有幸得到浙江籍漢堡自由藝術(shù)研究院院士、德國(guó)品牌學(xué)院——設(shè)計(jì)與傳播應(yīng)用科學(xué)大學(xué)校長(zhǎng)、德國(guó)政府“藝術(shù)與學(xué)術(shù)”勛章獲得者單凡的幫助，考進(jìn)了漢堡藝術(shù)學(xué)院。漢堡藝術(shù)學(xué)院是世界上最好的十所美術(shù)學(xué)院之一，有200多年的歷史，培養(yǎng)了不少有名的藝術(shù)家。在漢堡藝術(shù)學(xué)院，他學(xué)的是自由藝術(shù)專業(yè)，在這里，學(xué)生可以選擇雞蛋、紅酒、沙子、水泥、洗潔精等任何繪畫材料，不拘形式，自由創(chuàng)作。4年的大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)，讓他不僅有了繪畫的技巧，更有了全新的創(chuàng)作思維。畢業(yè)后，他簽約于漢堡畫廊。

在漢堡，吳哲仁認(rèn)識(shí)了許多藝術(shù)家。在2014年年底的一次聚會(huì)上，很多德國(guó)音樂(lè)藝術(shù)家向吳哲仁建議，能不能搭建一個(gè)平臺(tái)，組織我們到中國(guó)交流藝術(shù)？

一開(kāi)始，吳哲仁還是有點(diǎn)猶豫，一是自己從事的是美術(shù)專業(yè)，如去做更大藝術(shù)領(lǐng)域的文化交流，是不是不務(wù)正業(yè)？二是自己沒(méi)有這方面的經(jīng)驗(yàn)，難度太大，弄不好會(huì)搞砸！轉(zhuǎn)而一想：“藝術(shù)是相通的，把文化交流做好也是一件藝術(shù)作品?！?/p>

“要做中德文化藝術(shù)交流，必須成立一個(gè)藝術(shù)機(jī)構(gòu)?！庇信笥呀ㄗh說(shuō)。2015年初，吳哲仁和在漢堡的其他兩位中國(guó)朋友開(kāi)始策劃籌備，次年初，漢堡時(shí)代藝術(shù)中心正式成立，吳哲仁任董事長(zhǎng)和藝術(shù)總監(jiān)。漢堡時(shí)代藝術(shù)中心主要是開(kāi)展美術(shù)和音樂(lè)的中德文化交流。為了順利地開(kāi)展工作，吳哲仁先在德國(guó)介紹藝術(shù)家在本土進(jìn)行音樂(lè)演出和美術(shù)展覽，爾后著手籌備到中國(guó)演出的簽約。

經(jīng)過(guò)一年的努力，由吳哲仁代表漢堡藝術(shù)中心和漢堡交響樂(lè)團(tuán)管樂(lè)五重奏精英演奏家簽約成功！漢堡交響樂(lè)團(tuán)五重奏精英由該團(tuán)團(tuán)長(zhǎng)、終身首席長(zhǎng)笛演奏家蘇珊娜·班納，大管首席克里斯蒂安·岡茨霍恩，終身首席雙簧管馬克·雷納，終身首席單簧管艾瑪·霍尼格，終身首席圓號(hào)皮特·古力卡組成。

2017年5月19日，吳哲仁帶領(lǐng)漢堡交響樂(lè)團(tuán)管樂(lè)五重奏的藝術(shù)家啟程到中國(guó)演出。浙江舟山市是他們?cè)谥袊?guó)的第一場(chǎng)演出，500位觀眾欣賞了德國(guó)音樂(lè)家的精湛演奏。5位演奏家都是第一次來(lái)中國(guó)，更是第一次在中國(guó)的舞臺(tái)上演奏，他們想不到中國(guó)觀眾具有很好的音樂(lè)素養(yǎng)，不僅聆聽(tīng)音樂(lè)會(huì)時(shí)秩序井然，最后一曲演奏結(jié)束時(shí)，觀眾的鼓掌聲經(jīng)久不息。德國(guó)演奏家被觀眾的熱情所打動(dòng)，返場(chǎng)加演曲目。演出結(jié)束后，不少觀眾還熱情上臺(tái)向德國(guó)演奏家獻(xiàn)花并合影，有的用外語(yǔ)和德國(guó)演奏家熱情交流。

舟山演出結(jié)束后，吳哲仁帶領(lǐng)德國(guó)藝術(shù)家先后到浙江嘉興、湖州和福建晉江、上海等5個(gè)城市演出。演出之余，德國(guó)藝術(shù)家游覽了當(dāng)?shù)氐拿麆俟袍E，對(duì)中國(guó)的建筑文化和優(yōu)美的自然環(huán)境感到驚訝好奇。

為了讓德國(guó)藝術(shù)家接觸更多的中國(guó)文化，5月23日，在湖州演出之余，吳哲仁安排他們到湖州市領(lǐng)軍人才、著名畫家劉祖鵬藝術(shù)工作室交流。德國(guó)演奏家對(duì)劉祖鵬創(chuàng)作的國(guó)畫露出了好奇的目光：“一支又長(zhǎng)又軟的毛筆怎么會(huì)畫出如此美妙的中國(guó)畫？”劉祖鵬熱情地教蘇珊娜用湖筆畫鴨、畫梅花，在一旁的克里斯蒂安和艾瑪也忍不住先后從畫桌上拿起湖筆描上幾筆。德國(guó)朋友被中國(guó)畫的神韻和魅力所折服，拿起自己創(chuàng)作的畫作和劉祖鵬合影留念。臨別時(shí)，劉祖鵬還向5位德國(guó)藝術(shù)家分別贈(zèng)送了印有自己作品的國(guó)畫絲巾，留作紀(jì)念。

巡演5個(gè)城市，所到之處，吳哲仁不僅聽(tīng)到了觀眾對(duì)德國(guó)藝術(shù)家演奏美妙西方音樂(lè)的贊美聲，也聽(tīng)到了德國(guó)藝術(shù)家對(duì)中國(guó)美好印象的贊美聲！首次成功巡演，驅(qū)走了吳哲仁為演出奔忙而付出的辛勞！

接著，吳哲仁又先后和北德廣播交響樂(lè)團(tuán)弦樂(lè)四重奏精英演奏家和斯坦威雙鋼琴重奏兩個(gè)藝術(shù)團(tuán)隊(duì)簽約到中國(guó)巡演。北德廣播交響樂(lè)團(tuán)弦樂(lè)四重奏精英由北德廣播交響樂(lè)團(tuán)的終身首席大提琴尤里-夏洛特·克里斯蒂安森、第一小提琴副首席霍夫漢內(nèi)斯·巴格哈達(dá)薩良、首席小提琴演奏家亞歷山德拉·薩熱娃、中提琴演奏家阿拉·路特四人組成;斯坦威雙鋼琴重奏由施坦威簽約鋼琴演奏藝術(shù)家尤利婭·波奇科夫斯卡婭和漢堡交響樂(lè)團(tuán)鋼琴演奏家瑪麗婭·楊科娃兩位女士演奏家組成。7月29日至8月6日和9月8日至9月13日，吳哲仁先后率領(lǐng)北德廣播交響樂(lè)團(tuán)弦樂(lè)四重奏精英演奏家和斯坦威雙鋼琴重奏赴中國(guó)上海，浙江嘉興、湖州、杭州和福建晉江5個(gè)城市巡演。這兩個(gè)演奏團(tuán)隊(duì)的德國(guó)藝術(shù)家也都是第一次來(lái)中國(guó)，他們的演出都獲得了中國(guó)觀眾的贊美，而中國(guó)也給德國(guó)演奏家留下了美好的印象！

2017年，吳哲仁成功引領(lǐng)德國(guó)演奏家來(lái)中國(guó)演出18場(chǎng)。做好中德文化交流這件藝術(shù)品，對(duì)吳哲仁來(lái)說(shuō)只是一個(gè)開(kāi)頭，未來(lái)的路還很長(zhǎng)。他說(shuō)：“我還很年輕，做中德文化交流是一件有意義的事，我還想把中國(guó)的畫家、音樂(lè)家介紹到德國(guó)，把更多的德國(guó)藝術(shù)家?guī)У街袊?guó)交流，擴(kuò)大中德文化交流的領(lǐng)域，通過(guò)交流來(lái)講述中德兩國(guó)的故事，讓兩國(guó)人民分享彼此的優(yōu)秀文化！這也是漢堡時(shí)代藝術(shù)中心的職責(zé)！”

Wu Zheren， a Chinese artist who lives in Germany， has successfully built a bridge for cultural exchanges between Germany and China since 2017. In last year alone， German musicians held 18 concerts in China thanks to the arrangements of Wu.

Wu is a native of Huzhou， a central city in northern Zhejiang province. Upon graduation from Hamburg Academy of Art， he has stayed in the great city. In 2014， he met some German musicians， who suggested that Wu make arrangements so that they could perform in China. Wu and his friends thought it was a good idea.

Nevertheless， Wu hesitated， not sure whether he should engage himself in cultural exchanges， which were apparently beyond his specialty. He worried he might make mistakes since he lacked expertise about music shows. He persuaded himself with this argument： promoting cultural exchanges resembles creating an artwork and such a project would be worth trying since all it engaged is art.

He was advised to set up an agency to make such arrangements with China possible. In 2015， he and two Chinese friends in Hamburg began to make preparations for setting up the agency. In early 2016， Hamburg Modern Art Center came into being. With Wu Zheren as president and art supervisor， the center aims to promote Sino-German cultural exchanges in the field of art and music. Wu familiarized himself with business by holding concerts and art exhibitions in Germany. Eventually he signed a performance contract with the woodwind quintet of Hamburg Symphony Orchestra to perform in China.

The quintet artists left Hamburg for China on May 19， 2017. The first concert was held in Zhoushan， the capital city of Chinas largest archipelago in Zhejiang. Five hundred people attended the concert. The German musicians were surprised to find that the audience was versed in the concert manner. After a long standing ovation， the musicians came back and made an encore. After the show， some audience members came upon stage presenting flowers to the musicians and taking photos with the musicians. Some even conversed in English with the German musicians.

With Wu Zheren as the group leader， the quintet performed in Jiaxing and Huzhou in Zhejiang Province， Jinjiang in Fujian Province， and Shanghai， the largest metropolis in the Yangtze River delta. The concerts were successful. Wu felt relieved and happy.

In Huzhou， the quintet musicians visited the studio of Liu Zupeng， one of the best artists in Huzhou. The Germans were amazed by the brush pens Liu used to paint in the Chinese traditional style. Liu gave some tips and two German musicians tried their hands at painting.

Shortly after the initial success of the woodwind quintet in May， two more German musician groups visited China with Wus arrangements. The first was a string quartet which performed in Shanghai， Jiaxing， Huzhou， Hangzhou and Jinjiang from July 29 to August 6. The second group was a piano duo. The two pianists also held concerts in the five cities.

Wu considers the 18 concerts in China as a beginning of an artwork which is the China-German cultural exchanges. “I am young and there is a long way to go for more cultural exchanges between the two countries. I want to introduce Chinese artists and musicians to Germany and more German artists and musicians to China. This way， we can promote exchanges and share stories of China and Germany. The center considers it a responsibility，” said Wu.
