“2012国际公共艺术奖”参评作品选(五)

Selected Works of International Public Art Award 2012(Ⅴ)

本期选登的国际公共艺术案例大多为人工构筑物和景观建造。首先,有几个案例都与城市公园相关,体现出不同地域的历史、人文、经济等因素:《光电瀑布》是加拿大第一个具有紫外线雨水处理设施的公园的中心标志;《安阳公共艺术项目》则是将整个城市变成艺术公园的计划,旨在更广阔的语境下扩展公共艺术的概念。其次,坐落在新加坡国家博物馆附近的现代雕塑作品《树》不仅重新诠释神话故事,也被用作人们聚集的场所;《战争与和平及两者之间》采用两尊为人熟知的公共雕塑,赋予观众与地点、地位的标志性符号之间的一种全新关系;《手岛美术馆》和《酒店》则是建筑和雕塑的共同体,两件作品都是没有实用价值的虚构建筑,既传达材料和地点的特定属性,也探索人造环境和人的情感及社会影响的相互关系。《波形》是一幢与大自然为一体的"自由之屋";《通道》则是包括景观设计在内的多方位合作的公共艺术项目。纵观上述案例,虽然与传统意义的雕塑或景观设计有着某种形态上的关联,但其不仅已成为大众交流思想和沟通情感的公共领域,更从作为环境艺术的公共艺术向作为当代艺术的公共艺术转化,极大地拓展了造型艺术的内涵与外延。

Most of the international public art works selected in this issue are artificial architectures and landscape constructions.Some of them are in city parks and have much to do with local history,people and economy.The LIGHT SHOWERS,the center sign in the park,is the first one that has the ultraviolet ray rain treatment facility in Canada.The ANYANG PUBLIC ART PROJECT aims to create a city art park and turn a city into a big art park, which intends to extend the public art idea to a large extent.The modern sculpture THE TREE,near to the National Museum of Singapore,reinterprets the myth and becomes a gathering place.WAR AND PEACE AND IN BETWEEN has transformed the Gallery's two wellknown grand equestrian sculptures,which gives the audience an entirely new relationship to iconic symbols of place and status.Neither Teshima Art Museum nor Hotel is the building with pratical use,but they exquisitely blur the border between sculpture and architecture.These two works express the natural beauty inherent in the materials and location,and explore our interaction with the built environment and the emotional and social impact it has on people.WAVE FORMS is a free house that blends into the nature.Passage is a public art project which encompasses cooperation at different levels,including landscape design.All the cases can be seen as traditional sculptures or landscape designs in terms of the form, but they turn to be the public areas where the public can communicate and express their ideas and feelings. They represent the change form environmental art to contemporary public,which extends the connotation of plastic art.
