「這座非凡的文藝復興時期建築歷經數個世紀後仍然使我們敬佩,21世紀的今天,就讓我們不僅僅是作為參觀訪客,而是成為這檔展覽的聯合製作人 。」

“This extraordinary renaissance building has traveled through the centuries to great us here, now, in the twenty-first century – not as a mere host for art but as a co-producer of the exhibitions..”

— 奧拉佛・艾里亞森 Olafur Eliasson


一場展覽最需要的是觀展者的實際參與,伴隨著不同形式的反饋,以構成印象深刻的美學體驗。
What an exhibition needs most is the actual participation of the audience, along with different forms of feedback, to form an impressive aesthetic experience.


當科學遇見藝術美學,可想見是場無法被中止的對話,也無需被論證或剖析,因為它們的結合將會沿生出超乎想像的美妙產物。神秘的漩渦正緩步得透過藝術家縝密的計畫,逐一被巧妙創造出形體並實證在你的眼前。

When science meets artistic aesthetics, it is conceivable that it could become a dialogue that cannot be stopped, nor needs to be demonstrated or dissected, because their combination will produce wonderful products beyond imagination. The mysterious vortex is slowly moving through the artist’s meticulous plan, one by one, being cleverly created and verified in front of your eyes.

冰島丹麥裔藝術家|奧拉佛・艾里亞森Olafur Eliasson,首次在義大利最大個展就選在佛羅倫斯當代藝術博物館-斯特羅齊宮Palazzo Strozzi舉辦,以雕塑和大型裝置藝術創造沈浸式體驗與空間聞名全世界,從千禧年代發跡至今在各國知名博物館皆可以看到他的展覽足跡,Netflix上熱門紀錄片《Abstract: The Art of Design》第二季第一集更是專門介紹這位「光之魔術師」。

Icelandic Danish-born artist | Olafur Eliasson, whose largest solo exhibition in Italy for the first time was held at the Palazzo Strozzi one of the important contemporary art museums in Florence, is famous for his sculpture and large-scale installation art creation immersion experience and space, and his footprints can be seen in well-known museums around the world since the millennium. Also, the first episode of the second season of the popular documentary “Abstract: The Art of Design” on Netflix is dedicated to this “Magician of Light”.

跨度於光線、形狀、色彩、時間與空間之間,Olafur Eliasson試圖將自然的元素貫穿於展覽場域,重新組構現在與過去的樣貌。

Spanning between light, shape, color, time, and space, Olafur Eliasson attempts to reconstruct the present and the past by weaving natural elements throughout the exhibition landscape.

藉由標題「在你的時間裡」(Nel tuo tempo) 可以很直接地理解到整個展覽是以「觀眾」作為核心,建立觀眾與裝置之間的對話,促使其成為作品的一部份。打破博物館/美術館與觀眾之間的規範與界限,一直是藝術家Eliasson創作歷程中主要的研究導向之一;不再以博物館為導向,不過度解釋說明作品,為其建立一個既定的思考方向,而是聚焦於觀眾本身,打造一種身歷其境的體驗裝置,豐富觀者的所有視覺感官。

Through the title of the exhibition “In your time” (Nel tuo tempo), we could directly understand that the entire exhibition is centered on the “audience”, establishing a dialogue between the audience and the installation, and promoting it to become part of the work. Breaking the norms and boundaries between museums and audiences has always been one of the main research directions in artist Eliasson’s creative process; no longer museum-oriented, not overly interpreting the works, but creating a predetermined thinking direction for it. Instead, focusing on the audience itself creates an immersive experience device that enriches all the visual senses of the viewer.


走進16世紀,歷史的迴廊,映入眼簾漂浮在空中的巨大橢圓形漩渦,模擬著海浪波紋的運動型態,形似被具象化的聲波,正隨著你游移的腳步,更替著它穿越光線到達你瞳孔的樣貌。

Walking into the 16th century, the historical corridor comes into the huge oval vortex floating in the air, simulating the movement of ocean waves, resembling a figurative sound wave, which is following your wandering steps, replacing the appearance of it passing through the light to reach your pupils.

進入二樓的主要展場,以往都被包裹起來的窗戶結構,此次刻意被藝術家納入作品當中。光線穿透當時玻璃窗面,過濾窗格間細小的玻璃工藝紋路、氣泡孔洞被包覆進玻璃結構,原本無法被肉眼看見的「時間痕跡」,被套上夕陽般的顏色再次呈現文藝復興那時代下宛如貴族優雅迷幻的姿態。

Entering the main exhibition hall on the second floor, the window structure that is previously wrapped in the past, was deliberately included in the work by the artist this time. The light penetrated the glass window surface at that time, and the fine glass craft patterns between the filter panes, the bubble holes were wrapped into the glass structure, and the “traces of time” that could not be seen by the naked eye were once again covered with sunset-like colors to show the elegant and psychedelic posture of the aristocracy in the renaissance.

穿越過投影布幕裝置後,6、7、9、10號房間的作品是整檔展覽最能夠體現自然環境議題的裝置。

其中9號房間帶出藝術家最經典著名的作品《美》,透過水和聚光燈的元素製作出看似簡單的裝置,黑暗的房間,水絲噴霧迴盪著聚焦光線,折射進入觀眾的瞳孔喚醒了「彩虹」;就如同藝術家所說:「這完全是在兩個位置之間來回走動的問題:看見彩虹、沒看見彩虹。看到亦或者沒看到!」 沒有人可以看到同樣的彩虹形成,走進水霧中成為美的一部份。

After passing through the projection screen installation, the works in rooms 6, 7, 9, and 10 are the installations that best reflect the natural environment issues in the entire exhibition.

Among them, Room 9 brings out the artist’s most classic and famous work “Beauty”. Through the elements of water and spotlights, a seemingly simple installation is created. In the dark room, the water spray reverberates with the focused light, which is refracted into the pupils of the audience and awakens ” Rainbow”; as the artist puts it: “it is a matter of fluctuating back and forth between two positions: seeing the rainbow, not seeing the rainbow, seeing and not seeing.” No one can see the same rainbow formation, walking into the mist of water and becoming part of beauty.

「藝術的本質本源於日常,科學與自然兩者之間密不可分的關係,在許多領域中都展現出它們相輔相成的角色,同時仍存在無法解釋論證的現象。」

The essence of art originates from everyday life, and inextricable relationship between science and nature has shown their complementary roles in many fields, while there are still phenomena that cannot be explained and demonstrated.

我們對於藝術創作的理解,取決於個體本身的知識含量、生活體驗之間的發酵,面對當代藝術時,大多數的觀眾都過度依賴閱讀創作簡介,作品論述說明、導覽器的存在,不可否認在概念藝術領域裡,完整地剖析理解藝術創作的動機與理念是核心;然而,觀者與作品之間的連結,觀展體驗的過程,歷經消費內省後的產物,它可以是影像、可以是口述反饋、可以是內在的經驗連結,亦或者是與同行夥伴當下的記憶畫面。

Our understanding of artistic creation depends on the knowledge content of the individual and the fermentation between life experiences. When facing contemporary art, most audiences are overly relying on reading the introduction, the existence of audio-guide, it is undeniable that in the field of conceptual art, a complete analysis and understanding of the motives and ideas of artistic creation is the core; however, the connection between the viewer and the work, that process of viewing experience, is the product of introspection after consumption, which could be video, photo, could be oral feedback, it could be an internal experience connection, or it could be a memory of the moment with companions.

《Olafur Eliasson : Nel tuo tempo》展覽近20件集結歷年重要裝置與2022新作,在斯特羅齊宮基金會的大力協助之下,實踐藝術家對共享體驗與互動裝置的堅持,以不同的展覽型態構思,主要聚焦在觀眾的感官體驗,試圖跨越空間界限和物理限制,將展覽場域打造為一切元素的匯集點。

The “Olafur Eliasson : Nel tuo tempo” exhibition brings together nearly 20 pieces of important installations over the years and news in 2022. With the strong assistance of the Fondazione palazzo strozzi, the practice artist’s insistence on shared experience and interactive installations is displayed in different exhibition types. The concept of state-of-the-art mainly focuses on the sensory experience of the audience, trying to transcend the spatial boundaries and physical limitations, and make the exhibition area a meeting point of all elements.

▎outstanding sculptor | Fabio Viale cooperates with the Arezzo city hall to launch a solo sculpture exhibition named “AURUM” , a new exhibit concept: Exploratory Urban Show ▎

「我一直想讓 ”大理石“ 成為當代史上公認的創作材質。打破 ”先入為主“ 的成見,一直都是我作品的一個特點,是我持續創作的活力來源和熱情的所在。」

“I have always wanted “MARBLE” could become a recognized creative material in contemporary history. Breaking down “preconceived ideas” has always been a feature of my creations, and is also the source of my energy and passion for continuing to create.”

— 法比歐・維亞萊 Fabio Viale

親眼所見亦非真實,唯有近距剖析方能體悟
what you have seen might not be real, only taking a closer look could truly understand the truth.

該展由Guido d’Arezzo基金會與阿雷佐市政府聯合規劃,攜手Le Nuove Stanze文化協會合作舉辦。不將展演空間限制於密閉空間,而是將整座城市帶入擴大展演場域,藝術作品分佈在博物館和城市空間的不同地點 – 從市立現代美術館(Galleria Comunale d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea) 到 美第奇堡壘(Fortezza Medicea),從聖依納爵堂(Chiesa di Sant’Ignazio)到阿雷佐主教座堂(Arezzo Cathedral ) 。通過雕塑作品地點的安排設置,大幅提升公眾與城市之間的連結度,透過適當的規劃與引導,建構出一場古典與當代共存發酵的「探索式城市展演」。

The exhibition is jointly planned by the Guido d’Arezzo Foundation and the city hall of Arezzo, in cooperation with the cultural association Le Nuove Stanze. Instead of confining the exhibition space to narrow spaces, it brings the whole city into an open displayed area, with works of art distributed in different locations in the museum and urban space – from the Galleria Comunale d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea to the Fortezza Medicea, from Chiesa di Sant’Ignazio to Arezzo Cathedral (Duomo). Through the arrangement and set on the location of the sculpture works, the connection between the public and the city is greatly enhanced.


「黃金,具有一種超越其美麗的誘惑力:它就像海妖的歌聲,可以在工作時感受到它的吸引力。它的存在就好比大理石一般,能夠將我拉出時間領域,具有超越完美的形體,不忌諱地披露它的危險性。」

“Gold has a seductive power that goes beyond its beauty: it is just like a siren’s song, you could feel its attractive power while you work. it’s existence like marble, which could pull me out of time, to transcend its perfection to openly reveal its dangerousness. “

Fabio Viale 於開幕典禮受訪解釋道

Fabio Viale, 1975 年出生於義大利科奈爾,現定居於杜林。
從16歲起就開始學習雕刻大理石,對於材料無限的熱情與愛好,促成他於年輕時期即為米蘭紀念公墓規劃建築元素與雕塑作品。

他的創作揭示了「大理石」這項材質在這幾世紀藝術脈絡當中的困境與限制的問題,試圖擷取歷史經典與現代思維融合延伸不同面向的產物。Fabio Viale 展覽經歷遍佈全世界,足跡從義大利、中國、俄羅斯之外,一路將觸角擴展至美國,近期回歸至歐洲各國進行公共展示,可譽為國際級的當代藝術創作者。

Fabio Viale, born in Cuneo, Italy in 1975, currently lives in Turino.
He began to learn to sculpt marble at the age of 16, and his boundless enthusiasm and hobby for the material led him to design architectural elements and sculpture creations for the Monumental Cemetery of Milan at a young age.

His creations reveal the predicaments and limitations faced by the material “marble” in the artistic context of the past few centuries, he attempts to capture the fusion of historical classics and modern thinking to extend different aspects of the product. Fabio Viale’s exhibition experience has spread all over the world, and its footprints have expanded beyond Italy, China, and Russia to the United States. Recently, it has returned to European countries for public exhibitions. he could be hailed as an international contemporary art creator.


Aurum 拉丁文譯為「黃金」,16世紀起義大利阿雷佐Arezzo,即有黃金之城的代稱,貴金屬加工技術即從文藝復興時期到近代工業時期起,累積發展,許多優秀的金匠工藝皆都出自於這座古城,在這邊所誕生的珠寶製品運送到文藝復興時期的佛羅倫斯和羅馬教廷,宗教珠寶的生產之路也開始了。

Aurum is translated as “gold” in Latin. In the 16th century, the uprising of Arezzo, Italy, was the name of the city of gold. Precious metal processing technology has accumulated and developed from the Renaissance to the modern industrial period. Many excellent goldsmiths are all craftsmen. All came from this ancient city, and the jewelry products born here were transported to Florence and the Curia Romana in the Renaissance, and the production of religious jewelry also began.

藝術家以「黃金」作為藥引,以建立多面向的對話空間,此次展覽陳設出近50件雕塑作品,每一件都被秘密地注入一克黃金,巧妙導入展覽主題「黃金」。如同上述提到的內容,這種柔韌且延展性強的材料,與阿雷佐是的歷史密不可分,作品本身的創作思維與材料本身即是一種「衝突礦物」,藝術家實驗性刻意建立起的交流對話,無形之間將時代與觀者串連在一起,宗教神話、物體型態、社會價值、文化歷史,自相矛盾的當今現實,每一種皆反映出人性對於社會批判和自我省思的差異維度。

The artist uses “gold” as a medicinal guide to establishing a multi-faceted dialogue space. This time there are nearly 50 sculptures are displayed in this exhibition, each of which is secretly injected with a gram of gold, ingeniously introducing the exhibition theme “gold”. As mentioned above, this kind of flexible and malleable material is inseparable from the history of Arezzo. The creative thinking and material of the work itself are a kind of “conflict minerals”, which the artist experimentally and deliberately established. Communication and dialogue, invisibly linking the time with the viewers, religious myths, object forms, social values, cultural history, and the contradictory reality of today, each reflects a different dimension of human nature towards social criticism and self-reflection.

Fabio Viale 的作品充斥著暗示性和挑釁性的創作理念,在探究古典藝術與當代美術脈絡的路上,藝術家參考了大量的文獻資料、藝術經典、現代社會觀點等,作為創作依據並試圖深究相互之間的矛盾關係,激發古典藝術和負面刻板印象的差異性,毫無忌憚地挖掘美與惡的衝突連結,試圖翻轉社會大眾對「刺青」的既定印象,同時為其探索出多面向理解的可能性。

Fabio Viale’s creations are full of suggestive and provocative creative concepts. On the way to exploring the context of classical art and contemporary art, Viale refers to a large number of documents, art classics, modern social viewpoints, etc. The contradictory relationship between them stimulates the difference between classical art and negative stereotypes, and unscrupulously explores the conflicting connection between beauty and evil, he tries to overturn the public’s established impression of “tattoo”, and at the same time explores the possibility of multi-faceted understanding.

挑選日常物品構築成屬於 Viale 的大理石宇宙|紙袋、紙飛機、輪胎、木製箱盒等,全都以大理石雕刻而成。經過 Viale 巧奪天工雕琢技術,眼睛所見並非常態所想,真實的存在開始挑戰你的大腦,一種全新創作維度就此誕生。

He chooses daily objects to build up his marble universe | paper bags, paper airplanes, tires, wooden boxes, etc., all carved out of marble. After Viale’s ingenious carving technology, what our eyes see is not what we think, the real existence begins to challenge your brain, and a new creative dimension is born.

「我一直在尋找新的解決方案,經常從技術角度為材料創造更多創新的方法,同時我更是想讓 ”大理石“ 成為當代史上公認的創作材質。致力於打破 ”先入為主“ 的成見,一直都是我作品的一個特點,它表明了藝術作品的二元性,這正是我持續創作的活力來源和熱情的所在。」

“I have always sought out new solutions, often creating more innovative methods for materials from a technical point of view, and at the same time I want to make “marble” a recognized creative material in contemporary history. I committed to breaking the “preconceived” stereotypes, It has always been a feature of my work, it shows the duality of the work of art, which is the source of my energy and passion for continuing to create.”

— Fabio Viale


 


不論是復刻經典雕塑,再創異材質結構,跨越直覺偏見、類別和藝術流派成為另類媒介。大理石雕塑的可能性,藉由Fabio Viale的巧手被大幅提升到另一個高度。

Whether it’s recreating classic sculptures, recreating exotic material structures, or transcending intuitive prejudices, genres, and artistic genres, it becomes an alternative medium. The possibilities of marble sculpture have been raised to another level by the outstanding hands of Fabio Viale.

「天堂樹」出現在佛羅倫斯領主廣場,紀念義大利詩人但丁逝世700週年。“The Paradise tree” appear at the square signoria for commemorating the 700th anniversary of the death of the Italian poet Dante.

2020年義大利政府決定將每年3月25日設為「但丁日」,2021年適逢但丁逝世700週年的大日子,整個義大利當天開始一系列活動,為紀念緬懷這位對於國家有著重要貢獻的人物,更不用說但丁的出生地佛羅倫斯(Firenze)、曾居住過的維洛那(Verona)與晚年定居的拉溫納(Ravenna)多數以線上方式所舉行的紀念活動。

如果不是對於詩歌、
哲學或是西洋歷史有相當認識的人,相信一定和我一樣對於但丁的認識
非常侷限。

現代義大利語之父|但丁‧阿利吉耶里 Dante Alighieri

一般大眾對於但丁的認知,多數止步於其知名的著作《神曲》
幾個網路小知識:

  1. 但丁是歐洲最偉大的詩人
  2. 用「義大利托斯卡納方言」寫下絕大多數的作品
  3. 《神曲》裡的語言稱之為「義大利文」
  4. 《神曲》是部長篇詩歌
  5. 以三部分「地獄篇」、「煉獄篇」、「天堂篇」貫穿《神曲》
  6. 但丁、佩脫拉克、薄伽丘,被稱為「文藝復興三巨人」,也稱為「文壇三傑」。

永遠活在樹上的果實,永不會落下葉子


今年我們可以透過義大利著名雕塑家 – 朱塞佩‧佩諾內(Giuseppe Penone)在佛羅倫斯領主廣場上的大型裝置作品「冷杉 Abete」背後所表達的意涵,對於但丁著名的著作《神曲》其中提及的天堂樹有部分的理解,並感受藝術家近五十年的創作生涯,試圖以詩意的方式掩飾貧窮藝術顛覆傳統媒介的理念。

作品標題隱喻的主題是「永遠活在樹上的果實,永不會落下葉子」(vv,29-30,Canto XVIII,Paradiso ,Divina Commedia)。意味著來自天堂的樹從上帝那端獲得生命,而不是從根部獲得生命,因此樹幹總是結出飽滿的果實, 永不失去葉子,這種形象在中世紀的神秘主義者和聖經文本中十分常見。

朱塞佩‧佩諾內
Giuseppe Penone

這棵22米高的巨型雕塑,不鏽鋼製成的主樹幹分支出去的金屬樹枝向天空延伸,以青銅鑄模構成的18個竹節枝幹,相互接連著,使整棵樹有向上提升的視覺效果。
對於佩諾內(Penone)而言,從小生長於北義的阿爾卑斯山腳,美麗的自然環境自然成為創作的靈感來源,從中取材。

樹木

佩諾內(Penone)作品中一個極為重要的主題,也是《神曲》中最基本的標誌之一,從最初的森林到天堂中的樹木。藝術家十分偏好針葉樹,其中包含許多原因,主要針葉樹被認為是地球上存在時間最長的樹種,其種子是裸露在外,葉片細長如針,即使冬天葉子也不會掉落,壽命十分長,適應範圍廣且它們具有對抗一般樹幹交錯扭曲的特性,實際上「冷杉 Abete」即是佩諾內(Penone)對但丁《神曲》天堂篇中,對於天堂樹描述的想像。

這棵樹即是佩諾內(Penone)年輕時在阿爾卑斯山的樹林中生活過的轉化,從五十多年巨匠從森林觀察研究中轉化出來的型態,以造模雕塑的形式來表現樹木的質地,透過物體的存在和其自身的發展來表達:它牢固地種植在地球上,樹枝卻無懼地伸向天空,彷彿渴望著無限的空間與自由般自在。
綜合這些原因,佩諾內(Penone)選擇了這件巨型雕塑作為極具象徵與紀念意義的作品。


該裝置是由烏菲茲美術館(Uffizi Galleries)與佛羅倫斯市政府共同策劃,並由 Galleria Continua 協同藝術家合作執行,是烏菲茲美術館將在6月1日至9月12日為朱塞佩‧佩諾內(Giuseppe Penone)個展 “Alberi In-Versi” 所策劃的聯合預展活動,更適逢但丁日慶祝活動的一部分。

當天在領主廣場上的開幕剪綵儀式外,烏菲茲美術館館長 – 艾克‧施密特(Eike Schmidt)、托斯卡尼省省長 – 歐金尼奧‧賈尼(Eugenio Giani)、佛羅倫斯市長 – 達里奧‧納爾德拉(Dario Nardella)等人皆出席紀念活動。

「今天我們也開始了我們的旅程,但丁對於“黑暗森林”的描述,對我們來說就是「Covid-19」,緊急的情況、充滿不確定性、與工作有關的憂慮、經濟、疫苗、親人的離世等等。但丁穿越了這個〔黑暗森林〕,開始了一段新的旅程,然後又順利的折返回到原點,觀看星星;而那就是我們的目標。」:納爾德拉(Nardella)說道。

佩諾內(Penone)的「冷杉Abete」成為了但丁口中天堂的隱喻,我們物質世界和概念世界中,兩者相遇辯證的場域。我們寄望所有的靈魂最終能夠戰勝這場無硝煙的戰爭,並成功地開啟下一段旅程。
