Abstract
This review focuses on one of the most anticipated programs that He Art Museum (HEM) has produced so far, Beyond: Tadao Ando and Art. This is in part because the subject of the exhibition was the architect who designed HEM but, more interestingly, the exhibition focused on the influence of contemporary art on Ando's architectural works, rather than generally introducing architectural projects. Focusing on this perspective, this review explores the challenges and opportunities for exhibitions about well-known architects, particularly in cases of architects such as Ando, whose distinctive architectural style (allowing people clear opinions of the architect) means it is never easy for curators to develop their own narrative. In this exhibition, connecting Ando with other artists who influenced him became an opportunity to address the challenge while dealing with his architectural languages, including light through traditional media, remained a concern. It has also been found that further work is needed to reveal the relationship between each artist and Ando, which was technically well designed in the space but was not delivering each artist's influence on Ando effectively.
这篇评论的重点是何氏美术馆(HEM)迄今为止最令人期待的项目之一--"超越":安藤忠雄与艺术》。这部分是因为展览的主题是设计 HEM 的建筑师,但更有趣的是,展览的重点是当代艺术对安藤建筑作品的影响,而不是泛泛地介绍建筑项目。本评论从这一角度出发,探讨了有关知名建筑师的展览所面临的挑战和机遇,尤其是像安藤这样的建筑师,其独特的建筑风格(让人们对建筑师有明确的看法)意味着策展人要发展自己的叙事方式绝非易事。在这次展览中,将安藤与其他对他有影响的艺术家联系起来,成为了应对挑战的一个机会,而如何处理他的建筑语言,包括通过传统媒体的光,仍然是一个值得关注的问题。我们还发现,要揭示每位艺术家与安藤之间的关系,还需要进一步的工作,因为空间设计在技术上很好,但却没有有效地传递每位艺术家对安藤的影响。
