Space...空間@薩奇美術館

展出藝術家:弗里德里希·庫納什

Saatchi gallery (http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/) has created quite a controversy in the art world over the years. For me Saatchi offers something which quite a few galleries seem unable to do and that is space!
過去幾年,薩奇美術館在藝術世界裡時常創造出許多令人爭議的創舉。而對我來說,薩奇美術館提供了一些其他藝廊做不到的本事,例如:空間!

I enjoy going for a walk there. It is only 5 minutes from the tube station, its in a nice area, its building is huge and its free. I have never seen this gallery packed with artworks and I definitely appreciate this. At times you do wonder if any curatorial effort goes into the shows, as there always seems to be a 2D work there, there and there, and 3D works are mostly position near the corners of the room – it is almost like walking into someone’s house where you know where you will find the house’s artworks.


我非常享受在薩奇藝廊散步的時刻。從地鐵站到這裡只需要五分鐘,而且位於一處很優美的地段,空間大又免費。我從來沒看過薩奇美術館將藝術品把空間硬是塞得滿滿的,而我真的非常的感謝他這麼做!偶爾你會猜想策展的方式,當那似乎永遠都展出平面作品,這裡那裡,那裏和那裡,而立體作品常常就安排在靠近房間的一處角落-就像是你走進某某人的住所,而且自己可以猜想到在房子的哪裡可以找到藝術品。
I enjoy Saatchi gallery because it shows a variety of works and often young people’s work, it seems. Or at least this is the impression I get because I find the work shown to be very experimental. It is as if Saatchi always goes out on a shopping spree and buys or represents artists that have just finished college or university (I hope I am not offending the artists involved with the gallery, but I do mention this as a positive thing!). And I like that; it reminds one that it’s okay to experiment, it’s good that the process is very much part of the whole. This seems at times more true and in a way simple; maybe so simple that for some it feels too simple. But to me, it acts as a reminder that art is something fun and enjoyable and it is a good escape from the formal, seriousness that I feel at times overrides the art scene.


我之所以喜歡薩奇美術館因為在那裡展示了很多年輕藝術家的作品。或者,至少我的印想中所看到的藝術品都是非常的大膽又具有實驗性質。就像是薩奇美術館買下或者呈現這些剛從大學或學院畢業的藝術家們(我希望沒有冒犯到曾在這裡展出的藝術家,但我是在說一件正面的事情!)而我非常喜歡這樣!這提醒了我“實驗性“是可行的,而過程對於最後的結果是多麼的重要!有時候他是事實,或是對於某些人來說覺得太簡單了。但對我來說,實驗精神扮演著一個提醒者的角色-藝術是好玩的,而且使人愉悅,而且我覺得有時候超乎了對美學的品味,擺脫了制式,嚴肅的規範。

The other thing Saatchi do is a small B&W leaflet with all artists involved in their current exhibition. It only costs £1 but I like this idea as I can take this with me and do further research if I am interested in a specific artist etc.
Favourite Works for me this time were the drawings below; so playful and colourful and I would love to have one of these in my house! Artists: Gurt and Uwe Tobias
薩奇還做了一件事,就是將展出的藝術家們與當期的展覽同列在B&W的手冊上。只要1英鎊的價格。但我喜歡這個點子,因為當我帶走它也可以對特別吸引我的藝術家作進一步的研究。我最喜愛的作品是下面的這幅; 有點戲謔感,而且色彩豐富,我很想在我家中也收藏一幅!
