莫斯科，6月18日 ── 由OMA操刀设计的莫斯科格拉吉当代艺术博物馆新馆址已于6月11日开放予媒体预览，并于6月12日对公众开放。项目由Rem Koolhaas（雷姆‧库哈斯）和Ekaterina Golovatyuk带领设计，博物馆改建自莫斯科高尔基公园内的四季餐厅，其原建于二十世纪六十年代的预制混凝土结构是苏联时代的历史遗迹，荒废超过二十年后被改造成格拉吉当代艺术博物馆首个常设馆址。

新馆址由格拉吉当代艺术博物馆创办人Dasha Zhukova委任设计，博物馆面积有5,400平方米，提供三层开放式空间，缔造出丰富的新功能内容，包括多元化的展馆、试映室、礼堂、儿童创意中心等的教育和研究空间、书店、咖啡厅和屋顶平台。

Dasha Zhukova表示：「格拉吉当代艺术博物馆的过去和未来都与建筑密不可分。在2008年，我们保留并改造了Bakhmetievsky公共汽车车库，这里是莫斯科一个美丽而重要的俄罗斯构成主义建筑作品。在2012年，我们兴建了一个短期展馆，通过极创新的设计来应用高科技施工方法和回收再造的环保材料。在2015年，我们在高尔基公园开设全新的常设馆址，与这个时代其中一位最重要的建筑大师一起将一栋苏联时期建筑改造成博物馆… 我肯定我们之间的合作能帮助我们为俄罗斯的当代艺术塑造出全新的愿景。我们将与格拉吉当代艺术博物馆的团队携手为这个已荒废超过二十年的地方注入新生命。」

雷姆‧库哈斯表示：「保护策略在现有城市的处理方法中变得越来越重要，但是对于二十世纪六十至八十年代的建筑而言，情况却并非如此，这些建筑在全球各地均得不到重视。保留十九世纪末、早期现代主义的建筑是意料之内，但二战后出现的那些欠缺特色或个性的建筑却鲜有人追捧，甚至无人为其辩护。正是这个原因，我们很乐意把几成废墟的四季餐厅改造成格拉吉当代艺术博物馆的新馆址。与业主和其团队携手合作，让我们能够探索这个苏联时代的遗迹在空间感、尺寸、开阔性和透明度等方面的素质，为其找到新的用途和演绎；也让我们能够避免对标准和规模过分强调，而这个现象正渐渐变成当代艺术空间的一环。」

改造中保留了马赛克墙壁、瓷砖和砖块等原有的苏联时代元素，同时也加入了一系列创新的建筑设计。半透明的聚碳酸酯外立面抬升至离地两米，使博物馆从内到外、从外到内的视野均毫无阻隔，并重新建立展馆内部和公园之间的视觉联系。博物馆的轮廓独特，外型醒目：入口以两块可滑动的大面积外立面板为标记，往上推开后，从公园能清楚看见建筑物内部，而置于双层通高大堂里的艺术作品也变得非常显眼。

博物馆的室内空间为艺术展览提供了各种各样的环境，并带来全新的策展可能性。例如，白色的活动式墙板安装了铰链与天花相接，遇到需要中性场景的展览时可以通过放下墙板令空间顿时变成“白盒子”空间，同时旧墙身又可保留原来的砖块和绿色瓷砖。

博物馆的旧址位于莫斯科北部的半工业区，在搬迁到高尔基公园这个城中最常用的公共空间之后，将能面向更广、更多元化的观众群。

New home for Moscow’s Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, designed by OMA, is now open to the public
Moscow, June 16 – The new home of Moscow’s Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, designed by OMA, opened on June 11 to the press and on June 12 to the public. The project, led by Rem Koolhaas and Ekaterina Golovatyuk, is a renovation of the 1960s Vremena Goda (Seasons of the Year) restaurant located in Moscow’s Gorky Park, turning the Soviet-era relic – a prefabricated concrete pavilion, derelict for more than two decades – into the first permanent space for the museum.
Commissioned by Garage founder Dasha Zhukova, the 5,400 square-meter museum offers three levels of open space. New opportunities for programming are generated through diverse exhibition galleries, a screening room, an auditorium, education and research spaces including a creative center for children, a bookshop, a café, and a rooftop terrace.
Dasha Zhukova: “Garage Museum of Contemporary Art’s past and future are inextricably linked to architecture. In 2008 we saved and restored the Bakhmetevsky Bus Garage, a spectacular and important example of Russian constructivist architecture in Moscow. In 2012 we erected a temporary pavilion with an exceptionally innovative design to utilize hi-tech construction methods and environmentally friendly recycled materials. In 2015 we open a new permanent home in Gorky Park, renovating a Soviet era building with one of the most important architects of our time... I am certain that our collaboration will help us to create a new vision for contemporary art in Russia. Together with our Garage team, we will breathe life back into a site which was derelict and abandoned for over two decades.”
Rem Koolhaas: “Now that preservation is increasingly important in our approach to existing cities, the period between the 1960s and 1980s is, worldwide, an exception. We can imagine saving Fin de Siècle, early Modernism, but the more anonymous and impersonal architecture that emerged after World War II has few fans and almost no defenders. That is why we were very happy to work on turning the almost-ruin of Vremena Goda into the new house for Garage. We were able, with our client and her team, to explore the qualities of generosity, dimension, openness, and transparency of the Soviet wreckage and find new uses and interpretations for them; it also enabled us to avoid the exaggeration of standards and scale that is becoming an aspect of contemporary art spaces.” The renovation preserves original Soviet-era elements including a mosaic wall, tiles and brick, while incorporating a range of innovative architectural devices. A translucent polycarbonate façade, elevated two meters above the ground, allows unobstructed views into and out of the museum, visually connecting the museum’s interior with the surrounding park. The structure is recognizable through its unique silhouette, marked by two large entry panels which slide upwards to frame the art in the lobby's double-height space, providing further views through the building from the park.
The building offers a wide range of interior conditions for the exhibition of art and provides new curatorial possibilities, such as hinged white walls that can be folded down from the ceiling. They provide an instant white cube when an exhibition demands a more neutral environment, while the existing walls retain their original brick and green tile cladding.
Relocated from a semi-industrial neighborhood in the north of Moscow to Gorky Park, one of the city's most used public spaces, Garage will address a much larger and more diversified audience.
