從展覽首日10/19（三）截至10/23（日），連續五天吸引了超過 40,000名 貴賓與公眾參與首屆Paris+ par Art Basel。展會期間，法國總統—艾曼紐・馬克宏 Emmanuel Macron，法國文化部長—莉瑪・阿卜杜勒・馬拉克Rima Abdul Malak與第一夫人—碧姬・馬克宏Brigitte Macron也花費兩個小時參與活動，仔細聆聽畫廊主們的詳細導覽，馬克宏總統更表示：「巴塞爾藝術展（Art Basel）成功在巴黎重塑了一個真正的國際當代藝術博覽會。」
目前歐洲藝術經紀市場已經被英國退出歐盟一事，受到非常多的衝擊與損失，不管是疫情的肆虐導致低迷的收藏市場，或者是各界畫廊參與兩地的積極度與影響力更是不容小覷。英國脫歐對於藝術銷售事後「退稅」已變成一個值得思考取捨的問題。如今巴塞爾藝術公司取得巴黎大皇宮未來7年的營運權，剛剛旋風結束的藝術博覽會—Paris+ par Art Basel，順利奠定巴黎作為當代藝術市場的中心點，有更多的英美畫廊正在逐步規劃於巴黎市中心擴展更多空間。
Art Basel從瑞士巴塞爾首次延伸到藝術文化重鎮法國巴黎Paris，許多藝術大佬、畫廊主、藏家、藝術愛好者，大家都十分期待本週為期4天（10月19至23日）全新藝博會概念《Paris+ par Art Basel 藝+巴黎》。本屆匯集來自30個國家和地區，一共156間畫廊參與展會，61間於法國已有展示空間，95間則分布在世界各地，其中可見許多世界知名長青畫廊的身影，同時也包括初次參展的畫廊空間一同參與。
「一年一度，巴黎藝術盛事大變革」
法國巴黎大皇宮每年重要的檔期：10月份 FIAC（國際當代藝術博覽會） 與11月份 Paris Photo（國際攝影博覽會）皆由博覽會組織公司FIAC（母公司RX France，隸屬英荷RELX集團） 策劃執行，並在歐洲建立亮眼成績與聲望，一直以來以「法國」當代藝術博覽會之姿與瑞士Art Basel和倫敦Frieze三足鼎立。
巴塞爾全球總監馬克・史畢格勒（Marc Spiegler）曾經於媒體訪問表示，2018至2019年可見藝術產業的緊縮困境，該情況因新冠疫情一路延燒至2021年中後，不少資金投注紛紛退出遊戲，靜觀整體市場動盪與其變化。然而，馬克與集團則反其道而行，在大皇宮提出招摽一案時，大動作加入標案，預計於法國巴黎建立一個嶄新的品牌《Paris+ par Art Basel 藝+巴黎》。
主展場設定於巴黎臨時大皇宮（Grand Palais Èphémère）* 以及戰神廣場（Champ de Mars），區分成兩個展區：「藝廊薈萃」（Galleries）匯集140間知名畫廊，作品以現代、當代藝術為主；「新藝初探」（Galleries Émergentes）由評選團隊挑出16間新晉畫廊，推出藝術家個展形式呈現，共156間藝廊參與。
本週在《Paris+ par Art Basel 藝+巴黎》舉行在即，巴黎周邊許多藝文機構也紛紛共襄盛舉，以多樣的合作型態推出不同主題內容與展演形式的活動項目。即使沒有時間前往大皇宮觀展，亦能夠在遊走巴黎街區時，無意間參與「城藝之旅」（Sites）在巴黎著名地標附近展出25件大型雕塑及裝置作品，藝術帶入生活的展演形式以行之有年，這一次在巴黎巴塞爾團隊的規劃下，藝博會與周邊活動能夠如何進行並會帶出多少持續效應？全都是團隊與整個歐洲大陸、巴黎藝術圈，大家期待發現到的！
“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.
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”.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
Artificial lighting installations and various media: color, water vapor, space, mirrors, with the progress of outdoor daylight, changes in the surrounding environment affect everyone’s participation experience, fully immersed in the installation situation, resulting in a dialogue structure between perspective and time points.

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 ▎
“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.
“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, 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 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.
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’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.

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.

“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.”
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.
