5+5 opening at Setba by Yang Shun

杨舜在SETBA首展开幕式上的发言

各位晚安! 我作为唯一一个出席开幕式的中国艺术家，代表所有的中国参展艺术家们向大家表示最诚挚的问候和感谢！非常感谢Setba基金会提供了这么一个美好的平台，促成了这个美好的项目。也非常感谢所有艺术家们的努力和合作，如果没有足够的爱和理解，这个展览不可能呈现出今天的面貌。这个项目从开始策划到现在整整经历的一年的时间，其间大家都付出了许多辛劳。纸，和女性，存在着一种天然的缘分，而喜欢纸这个媒介的女性艺术家，都有一颗敏感细腻而又低调谦卑的心，在这个共同的基础上，所有的沟通充满默契，没有语言的障碍，没有时空的阻隔，中西两国的多数艺术家们素未谋面，却可以通过作品互相了解，彼此欣赏，建立深厚的友谊。虽然中国的另外四位艺术家未能亲自出席今天的开幕式，但通过这些作品，我们仿佛可以与她们一同坐席，彼此敞开心扉的交流，希望大家能享受这些作品，并从这些细腻直率的笔触中阅读到她们真实的生活和丰富的精神世界，十分感谢！

Words of Yang Shun at Setba 5+5 exhibition opening

Good evening! and I as the only Chinese artists attended the opening ceremony, on behalf of all the participating artists have to express my most sincere greetings and thanks to everyone! Very thanked the Setba Foundation for providing such a wonderful platform contributed to this wonderful project. Also very grateful to all the efforts and cooperation of the artists, and if without enough love and understanding, this exhibition would not be showing today. This project has been planned since the beginning of last year, during this year, we all had spent a lot of effort. 

There is a natural fate between paper, and women, I think the artists who like to work with paper medium, all have a sensitive, delicate and humble heart. Base on this common character, makes all the communication full of tacit, no language obstacles, no distance of time and space, although the majority of Chinese artists and Spanish artists have never met, they can understand and appreciate each other through their works, and build a strong friendship. Although the four artists are not able to attend today's opening , but through these works, as if they are here sitting with us, and opening their hearts to us, I hope you will enjoy these works, and from these delicate and forthright strokes could read their real life and rich spiritual world, thank you very much!
