设计亮点

聚焦场域，历史与时间的趣味融合，闪亮的木桩映射出水与天空。

2021年4月，弗吉尼亚州亚历山德里亚在滨水公园（王子街1号）推出最新公共艺术装置Groundswell。该临时装置由Mark Reigelman设计，是《聚焦场域：老城区新视野》年度公共艺术系列中继Olalekan Jeyifous设计的《锻造，编织，劳工，遗产》（2020）和SOFTlab设计的《魔镜魔镜》（2019）装置后的第三个作品，将展出至2021年11月。

April, 2021 – Alexandria, Va. – The City of Alexandria unveils its newest public art installation, Groundswell, in Alexandria’s Waterfront Park (1 Prince St.). This new temporary installation by Mark Reigelman is the third in the Site See: New Views in Old Town annual public art series, and will be on display through November 2021. It follows Olalekan Jeyifous’s 2020 installation Wrought, Knit, Labors, Legacies and SOFTlab’s 2019 Mirror Mirror installation.

Reigelman受委托为滨水公园建造独有的装置，由于岸线深入波托马克河，他便将重点放在亚历山德里亚可操作的滨水区上。在研究中，他了解到这座城市的河岸线受制于极端措施，从18世纪开始，每十年就有数以千计的木桩蔓延至波托马克河，勾勒出这座城市不断变化的轮廓。亚历山德里亚从河堤小镇发展为拥有广阔码头的城镇，数英里的人工开垦土地在岸边蔓延开来。

Commissioned to create an original installation for Waterfront Park, Reigelman focused on Alexandria’s working waterfront as the shoreline crept further into the Potomac River. In his research, he learned that drastic measures manipulated the city’s shoreline. Starting in the 18th century, thousands of timber pilings sprawled further into the Potomac River each decade, outlining the city’s shifting foundation. Alexandria grew from a town on a lofty riverbank to one with a sprawling dock that stretched along miles of artificially reclaimed land.

Groundswell装置向不断发展的历史致敬，为河岸线的地貌带来了趣味元素。装置的特色是描绘波托马克河河床的地面图案和布满场地的一百多根木桩。木桩高度依据河床地形或水深测量定为12至42英寸（约30至107厘米），每个直径14英寸（约36厘米）的木桩顶部都配有钴蓝色镜面，上面刻着象征时间流逝的年轮纹理。它们会像附近的水一样闪光，映出天空和路人的面孔。Reigelman希望游客在木桩间穿行时可以沉浸在闪烁的景观之中，思考他们此刻在城市历史中所处的位置。

Groundswell pays homage to this ever-evolving history and brings an element of play to the shoreline’s material topography. The installation features a ground mural depicting the floor of the Potomac River and more than 100 wood pilings throughout the site. They will range in heights from 12 to 42 inches, in accordance with the river floor topography, or bathymetry. Each 14-inch-diameter piling is topped with a cobalt blue mirrored surface etched with growth rings that suggest the passing of time. They will glisten in the light like the nearby water, reflecting the sky, as well as the faces of passersby. Reigelman hopes visitors will be immersed in this shimmering landscape as they navigate through the pilings, considering their place in the city’s history at this moment in time.

《聚焦场域》临时公共艺术系列以历史悠久的滨水区和邻近社区为基础，突出了作为市民空间的滨水公园。滨水公园是亚历山德里亚委托性原创艺术的关键地点，Reigelman由当地社区工作组选中，在亚历山德里亚艺术委员会批准下创作这个在地艺术品。亚历山德里亚还将于今年晚些时候委托地域艺术家利用Groundswell装置策划在地表演或活动。

The Site See temporary public art series highlights Waterfront Park as a civic space and is informed by the historic waterfront and neighboring community. Waterfront Park is a key location for original commissioned art in Alexandria. Reigelman was selected to create this site-specific artwork by a community task force with the Alexandria Commission for the Arts’ approval. The City of Alexandria will also commission regional artists to create site-specific performances or activations in response to Groundswell later this year.

亚历山德里亚艺术办公室以及娱乐、公园和文化活动部门副主管Diane Ruggiero表示：“我们通过《聚焦场域》系列作品将迷人的当代艺术带到亚历山德里亚的新兴滨水区。在过去两年中，公众对该系列作品的反响十分积极。我们迫不及待地想与居民和游客分享Mark的作品。”从今年5月20日开始，人们可以在上午5点至晚上10点内到滨水公园参观Groundswell装置，它将一直展出至今年11月。

“Through the Site See series, we’re bringing engaging contemporary art to Alexandria’s burgeoning waterfront,” said Diane Ruggiero, with Alexandria’s Office of the Arts and deputy director for the Department of Recreation, Parks and Cultural Activities. “The public reception to this series has been so positive over the last two years. We can’t wait to share Mark’s work with our residents and visitors.” Visitors can see Groundswell at Waterfront Park from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily starting March 20, 2021. The artwork will remain on view until November 2021.
