270个白色垃圾袋像幽灵一样悬挂在维也纳的圆柱大厅,这件作品是由尼尔斯·沃尔克创作的,并以安装的袋子数量命名。超过1000个精密安装的风扇和45块电路板保持运动在轨道上,帮助悬挂的塑料物体有节奏地充气和放气。巨大的大厅里充满了重复的褶皱,营造出一种类似卫生纸沙沙声或沙滩上潮水的声音质感。凹面装置分为九个部分,每个部分包含两列塑料袋。当你从正面看这件作品时,你只能辨认出白色的塑料块。然而,从侧面或背面看,它揭示了作出这样一个看似毫不费力的艺术功能需要大量的电缆和电路。
Two hundred and seventy white garbage bags hang like ghosts in the columned hall of Vienna, Austria’s Museum für agewandte Kunst (MAK) for the exhibition Sagmeister & Walsh: Beauty. The piece is by Nils Völker (previously), and is titled after the number of bags present in the installation. Over 1000 precisely installed fans and 45 circuit boards keep their movement on track, helping to rhythmically inflate and deflate the hanging plastic objects. The repetitive crinkling fills the vast hall, creating an audio texture akin to the rustling of tissue paper or the sound of the tide on a sandy beach.The concave installation is divided into nine segments that each contain two columns of plastic bags. While viewing the piece from the front you can only make out the white mass of plastic. Viewing it from the side or rear however, reveals the massive amount of cables and circuitry needed to make what appears to be such an effortless piece of art function. Two Hundred and Seventy is on view at MAK in Vienna through March 2019.
