来自专筑编辑雷君的报道。Brooklyn's Nomad Studio将本项目安装在了由Allied Works Architecture 的Brad Cloepfil设计的有12年历史的圣路易斯当代艺术博物馆（CAM）的庭院中。

“绿光漆”项目是CAM的第一个庭院装置，位于圣路易斯市区西侧，紧邻新近扩建的由安藤忠雄设计的普利策艺术基金会（ 可见左上图是混凝土墙安藤的建筑）。这次安装几乎充满45到50尺左右的空间；从各个角度看周边人行道都是片状的。人为景观体现在两个角落：一个在大楼附近，一个在楼顶，好像在抬升大跨度的混凝土墙，使盟军设计作品成形。

据由William Roberts 和 Laura Santín联合创立的景观工作室 Nomad Studio透露，“绿光漆项目探索以含蓄之美来弥补不便的现实的必要性。绿色织物优雅地遮蔽所有不合时宜的事物。”这些“不便的现实”和“不合时宜的事物”是我们不断破坏我们赖以依靠的景观和自然的系统的产物。我们不禁要想，绿漆只是应景的建筑吗？还是与绿屋顶一样，是为了避免浪费或破坏建筑而添加的薄贴片，是人们不愿改变的一种表达？

无论如何，Roberts 和Santín的结论是具有讽刺意味的：“我们可以继续无视事实。我们想邀请你把绿光漆应用到你的生活方式当中，然后继续生活。我们应该继续忽略不便的资讯，难道不是吗？”

绿光漆在CAM展出，时间一直持续到2015年9月13日。它是Nomad Studio制作，Iria Perez and Associates、LIA Engineering、Collab – Portico及 Green Roof Blocks提供了有力的支持。

Brooklyn's Nomad Studio has installed Green Varnish in the courtyard of the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis (CAM), the twelve-year-old building designed by Brad Cloepfil of Allied Works Architecture.
Green Varnish is the first courtyard installation for CAM, which sits next to Tadao Ando's recently expanded Pulitzer Arts Foundation west of downtown St. Louis (the concrete wall of Ando's building is visible at left in the photo above). The installation is made up of a field of sedum that almost fills the 45-by-50-foot space; a perimeter walkway allows the piece to be seen from all sides. The artificiality of the landscape is expressed in two corners that are raised: one slightly near the building and one above head height as if lifting toward one of the longspan concrete walls that make up the Allied Works design.
According to Nomad Studio, the landscape studio co-founded by William Roberts and Laura Santín, "Green Varnish explores the necessity of hiding inconvenient realities with polite beauty. A green fabric elegantly covers all the inopportune facts." These "inconvenient realities" and "inopportunte facts" are our continued destruction of the landscape and its natural systems that we depend upon. With this in mind, is Green Varnish just an appealing bit of landscape to look at? Or is it a thin appliqué of green akin to green roofs applied to otherwise wasteful and destrictive buildings, an expression of people's unwillingness to change?
Whatever the case, Roberts and Santín conclude ironically: "We could continue ignoring the facts. We would like to invite you to apply a green varnish to your life-style, and move forward. We should continue ignoring inconvenient information, should we not?"
Green Varnish is on display at CAM until 13 September 2015. It was made possible by Nomad Studio with the help of Iria Perez and Associates, LIA Engineering, Collab - Portico, and Green Roof Blocks.
