“根基的迷思” 银川当代美术馆

"Foundation Myths" Museum of Contemporary Art Yinchuan

一个设计的形态生成,即使在充斥着根深蒂固、意义深远的地域标志和历史标志的地理以及文化语境之下,也总是需要探索一个新的(设计)原点,创造一个虚构的故事,一个人工铺陈的符号化的根基的迷思。waa未觉建筑事务所设计的银川当代美术馆,基于深远且富有历史迷思的地景、时间和与人类行为息息相关的丰富叙事,建筑成为了一种同时共存的表现形式,一个从古至今各个时代不断累积构筑的连续层。无论语境赋予人们什么,灵感的来源总是需要被伪造一番,偶尔还必须故意营造成一种公然的挑衅行为,无中生有也已经成为一种常态。

The morphogenesis of a design, even in circumstances where the geographical and cultural context is saturated with deeply ingrained and meaningful signs of place and history, always requires a search for a new point of origin, the creation of a fiction, the somewhat artificial laying down of a symbolic foundation myth. Waa believes in appropriating narratives sourced locally and historically which might lead to progressive modes of exploration. Not from a past which eludes to a revival of nostalgia but one which might point to a more immemorial point of reference, in the case of the MOCA Yinchuan a manifestation of the simultaneous co-existence of ＂successive layers of prehistoric and historic times. Whether the context has much or little to offer, sources of inspiration always have to be fabricated, at times as an act of defiance, or, by default, hallucinated out of nothingness.
