In the afternoon of March 23, APSMUSEUM will invite sound therapy artist and meditation instructor Chai to lead us to immerse into the dreamlike light space, and to comprehend the pureness of our bodies and spirits through meditation. The topic of this meditation event is "slow", meaning an escape from the hustle and bustle of the urban space. "Slow" is not merely a delay in time or softness of sound, but a return to the inner world upon the perception of the external changes.

APSMUSEUM作为城市商业中心的一非营利艺术空间，以艺术作品的展示、艺术家的表达为商场的访客提供了不同于城市快节奏的精神体验。在当前开馆展《空间领导者》中，显现又淡出的光影、流线型的雕塑、虚拟神话的影像、不规则的镜面，都是在“慢”的空间中，突破了城市的惯性，令观众放下脚步。 As a non-profit art space in the city's commercial center, through the presentation of art and artists, APSMSEUM provides the shopping mall visitors with a spiritual experience that is different from the urban fast pace. In the current opening exhibition ENSEMBLE URBAIN, the emerging and fading lights, the fluid sculpture, the virtual and mythical images, and the irregular mirrors all break through the inertia of the city and make the visitors stop in this "slow" space.

詹姆斯·特瑞尔 (James Turrell) ，Aten Reign，2013 柴呈欣说：“实际上你不需要归隐山林，在喧闹的城市当中，转化心念，也可以找寻到我们内在的平和。”我们诚邀各位到APSMUSEUM，在一小时的冥想课程中，从繁忙的生活中抽离，感受“慢”带给我们的心灵慰藉。 Chai said, "indeed, you do not need to seclude yourself in mountains and greens. In bustling cities, transforming your mind, you can also find our inner peace." We sincerely invite you to APSMUSEUM, in this hour-long meditation, to withdraw from the busy life, and to feel the spiritual comfort brought by "slow".
