The Barcelona Pavilion is the setting for the seventh and final instalment of Xavier Veilhan's 'Architectones' series, which has seen the artist stage site-specific installations in modernist landmarks across the world. Photography: Florian Kleinefenn
法国艺术家泽维尔·维尔汉(Xavier Veilhan)的一系列“建筑”装置在现代建筑史上最受尊敬的地点之一得出结论:重新创建的位于蒙朱伊的巴塞罗那馆。
此次特定地点的展览是在法国混凝土文化的两个标志性作品“勒·柯布西耶的住所”和“L‘église Sainte-Bernadette du Banlay”(克劳德父母和保罗·维里里奥(Paul Virilio)的作品)以及康斯坦丁·梅尔尼科夫(Konstantin Melnikov)在莫斯科开创性但被忽视的梅尔尼科夫住宅(Melnikov以前的装置是在美国现代派最优秀的优雅环境中进行的,从洛杉矶的约翰·劳特纳(John Lautner)的谢茨-戈德斯坦住宅(Sheats-Goldstein House)到理查德·中性(Richard中性)的VDL House,以及皮埃尔·克尼格(Pierre Koenig)第21号案例研究
米斯·范德罗赫标志性的巴塞罗那馆设计于1929年,1930年拆除,并在80年代初重建。它是现代建筑的图腾形式之一,对于艺术家来说是一个明显不同的展览空间。首先,展馆已经是一个空容器,设计成一个空间序列,而不是一个国内领域。由建筑师冈萨洛·赫雷罗·德利卡多(Gonzalo Herrero Delicado)策划,这场展览是维尔汉希望在自己选择的“个人万神殿”中展示他的作品的高潮,在他自己的作品和周围的空间之间建立了一种深思熟虑的对话。
巴塞罗那的展览在某种程度上是一种干预,在著名的长方形平面图上,有一条对角线人行道,与陈列馆中现存的单独雕塑格奥尔格·科尔贝(Georg Kolbe)的“阿尔巴(黎明)”(Alba(黎明)展开对话。这座雕塑坐落在建筑物两个反射池中较小的一个小平台上。韦尔汉用四个降阶的数字重新诠释了科尔贝的形象,用不同的材料向密斯简单而丰富的玻璃、钢和大理石调色板致敬。这些游泳池已经部分建成,为游客提供了新的空间视角,通过摄影、复制和模仿,这些空间成为了标志性的空间。
冈萨洛·赫雷罗·德莱卡多解释说:“我的策展人角色是与泽维尔·韦尔汉(Xavier Veilhan)一起研究展馆的历史、决定其设计的特征和条件,以及我们如何通过我们的项目将其联系起来。”巴塞罗纳的安装也很重要,与展览的其他部分进行对话也是很重要的。架构师监督项目的所有方面,从与MvdR基金会联系到获得许可,到找到本地架构师Maio,再到构建最终设计。
从最小的马奎特,放置在著名的游泳池跑道上,维尔汉的新裸体增加了规模和改变材料,因为他们走向科尔贝的原始。展馆的几何图形和对称性都是倾斜的,大玻璃窗在新旧之间形成了新的反光。通过这种方式,艺术家故意颠覆建筑物的护身符力量,破坏了使其出名的品质。
巴塞罗纳馆有着悠久的历史,它被用作装置和艺术品的画布,使它成为最终建筑风格的合适场所。正如Veilhan自己所说,这是一部关于空间人物的新视角的作品,我们如何解读人体裸体,以及我们如何体验这一“现代性的终极里程碑”。
The show is something of an intervention, with a diagonal walkway slashing across the famously rectangular floor plan to set up a dialogue with the solitary existing sculpture in the Pavilion, Georg Kolbe's 'Alba (Dawn)' (left), which stands on a small plinth in the smaller of the building's two reflecting pools.

Veilhan has reinterpreted Kolbe's figure in four figures of descending scale...
...using different materials in a homage to Mies van der Rohe's simple, rich palette of glass, steel and marble. Photography: Florian Kleinefenn
The pools have been partly built over, offering visitors new perspectives on spaces made iconic through photography, reproduction and imitation. Photography: Florian Kleinefenn
From the smallest maquette, placed on a runway in the famous pool, Veilhan's new nudes reduce in size and change material as they move away from Kolbe's original. Photography: Florian Kleinefenn
As Veilhan himself says, this is a work about new perspectives on the figure in space, how we interpret the human nude and how we experience this 'ultimate milestone of modernity'. Photography: Florian Kleinefenn
The Pavilion's geometry and symmetry are skewed, and the large panes of glass set up reflections between old and new. Photography: Florian Kleinefenn
The site-specific Barcelona exhibition follows an Architectone installation by Veilhan earlier this year at Konstantin Melnikov's seminal but neglected Melnikov House in Moscow. The artist set fire to a replica of the Russian landmark - known for its distinct hexagonal windows - in the grounds of the building. Photography: @ardenta, @theconstructivistproject
Veilhan also staged a takeover of two icons of French concrete culture in 2013: the L'église Sainte-Bernadette du Banlay by Claude Parent and Paul Virilio (pictured), where the artist created an intervention on the façade of the building with his 'Rays' work...
... and Le Corbusier's Unité d' Habitation in Marseilles. Here, a blue resin polyster bust of the celebrated French architect emerged from the rooftop under another incarnation of 'Rays'. Photography: Florian Kleinefenn
'Le Monument / The Monument', 2013, was Veilhan's wooden extension to the concrete Unité d' Habitation rooftop, framed by Mediterranean shrubs. Photography: Florian Kleinefenn
A miniature diorama of Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Buckminster Fuller sat at its base. Veilhan explained: 'It shows the eponymous representatives of modernity passing each other aboard the crafts they designed: Buckminster Fuller rows on an American lake in his catamaran, while Le Corbusier and Jeanneret occupy a pedal boat created by the latter in Chandigarh'.

For the third instalment of his multi-venue series, Veilhan created an intervention in American architect John Lautner's Sheats-Goldstein House in Los Angeles
In the master bedroom, the artist placed a prismatic bright green aluminium sculpture of the tall and commanding Lautner looking out over a precipice, recreating a historical photograph taken of the architect and his creation
Smaller pieces were peppered throughout the house. 'Pyramids,' based on Alexander Graham Bell's experimental kite structures, echoed the building's strong triangular theme
Veilhan connected the house's geometric roofline to the pool below by stretching cords to create another of his signature 'Rays' structures
The series' second outing was a decidely ephemeral affair. Veilhan filled Pierre Koenig's Case Study House No 21 - also in Los Angeles - with white smoke, and transformed its reflecting pools with black ink. The project gradually developed into a performance, after Veilhan invited guests to enter the home and become its 'ghost-like occupants'. Photography: Joshua White
The artist selected Richard Neutra's 190 sq m VDL House in Los Angeles as the first stop for his worldwide investigation of art within the context of modernist architecture. Photography: Joshua White
At the VDL House, Veilhan created monochromatic pieces that echoed the home's neutral palette and sleek construction. Photography: Joshua White
On the top floor, a model Blue Flame, the rocket-powered vehicle that broke land speed records in 1970, holds a figure sprawled in its womb, a reference to Neutra's penchant for reclining his seat in the car to stare at California's skies. Photography: Joshua White
Outside the home, 'Richard Neutra (Old man)' acted like a street sign for the show. Photography: Joshua White
