Hundertwasser 艺术中心将在旺加雷开幕

Share:

Hundertwasser 艺术中心的活动家们正在倒数旺加雷的开幕日。

参观者将在 12 月 15 日(已故艺术家的生日)受到欢迎。

弗里登斯雷希·亨德特瓦瑟是 20 世纪最著名的欧洲艺术家之一。

他于 2000 年去世,在他生命的最后几十年里一直住在川川附近。

1993 年,他为旺加雷设计了该中心,但区议会努力争取场地、资金和公众支持。

该提案后来在 2015 年赢得了全民公决,建设成本超过 3300 万美元,主要来自慈善捐款,1850 万美元来自省级增长基金。

它很快将成为价值约 1600 万美元的 Hundertwasser 艺术品的所在地,这是维也纳以外唯一的永久性收藏品,以及世界上第一个专门展示当代毛利艺术的画廊 Wairau 画廊。

怀劳毛利画廊董事会主席伊丽莎白·埃利斯(Ngāpuhi、Ngāti Kuta、Ngāti Porou Te Whānau a Takimoana、Ngāi Te Whānau、Ngāi Te Whane)表示,里面的两个画廊将展示 “完全不同的东西”,但是亨德瓦瑟的世界观和毛利人有很多共同点。

“所有这些都是辉煌的哲学,这种对自然和谐和全人类创造力的信念。”

Prosper Northland Trust 主席安德鲁·加拉特(Andrew Garratt)花了三年的时间志愿服务使该项目成为现实。

他告诉 RNZ,看到这座建筑如此接近竣工是 “非常令人兴奋的事情”。

“我觉得我们所做的整个过程都是独一无二的。很难看出建筑物怎么能再次激发这种热情。”

安德鲁·加拉特和其他志愿者为该项目筹集了超过 1600 万美元。

他们还回收了旺加雷以前的海港大楼的材料,包括砍掉 35,000 多块砖头。

Hundertwasser 基金会的新西兰代表理查德·斯玛特监督了现场的质量控制。

他为这位奥地利出生的艺术家工作了八年。

“他喜欢新西兰。他热爱大自然。他喜欢自己家里的宁静。那是一个避难所。他来新西兰是为了休息一下,让自己沉浸在大自然中。”

Hundertwasser 艺术中心覆盖着绿化的屋顶,种植了 4000 多种植物,塔顶上还有一个覆盖着薄金箔的冲天炉。
