MoMA's Insecurities exhibition to address the global refugee crisis

纽约现代艺术博物馆宣布了一项旨在处理住所迁移问题和全球难民紧急情况的展览。

跟踪迁移和庇护所将和艺术案例融合在一起，在一定规模内的建筑和设计工作都集中在被迫迁移的主题上。

MoMA平息了最近关于其建筑和设计画廊被关闭的猜测，目的是在当前世界事件下探讨庇护所的时代观念。

联合国的数据显示，目前全球有6720万人是难民、寻求庇护者或者是国内流离失所者。

New York's Museum of Modern Art has announced an exhibition of projects that aim to tackle the issue of shelter for migration and global refugee emergencies.
Tracing Displacement and Shelter will bring together examples of art, architecture and design works at a range of scales, which all focus on the topical subject of forced displacement.
MoMA, which recently quelled speculation over the closure of its architecture and design galleries, aims to explore contemporary notions of shelter in light of current world events.
United Nations figures suggest that 67.2 million individuals worldwide are currently refugees, asylum seekers, or internally displaced.

“边境曾经标志着国家的边缘，如今，海上和陆地上的多方领土在空间上模糊了自身的潜在限制，由外部的力量来决定，”博物馆的一份声明中说。“在这种条件下，庇护所通过不断的迁移或逃离被重新定义，”“庇护所和难民营的患病率不能满足它们所代表的安全性，”声明中补充道。

随着过去几年的形势恶化，难民危机已成为建筑师和设计师们日益重要的话题。众多的临时避难所的方案已经公布，包括快速部署的六角形住宅和适应性住房系统。

荷兰组织What Design Can Do（WDCD）也推出了一项难民挑战，鼓励设计师提出想法帮助度过危机。

然而，人道主义援助专家Kilian Kleinschmidt在Dezeen最近的采访中说，政府应该停止建造难民营的想法，比如将法国Calais和柏林Tempelhof机场的居住点作为临时场所。

"Where borders once marked the peripheries of nations, today, manifold territories on sea and land have blurred one's potential confinement within spaces that are determined by external powers," said a statement from the museum. "Under these conditions, shelter has been redefined through constant movement or escape."
"The prevalence of shelters and refugee camps calls into question the 'safety' that they represent," it added.
The refugee crisis has become an increasingly important topic for architects and designers as the situation has worsened over the past few years. A multitude of proposals for nonpermanent shelters have been unveiled, including rapidly deployable hexagonal dwellings and adaptable shelter systems.
Dutch organisation What Design Can Do (WDCD) has also launched a Refugee Challenge to encourage designers to submit ideas to help the crisis.
However, humanitarian-aid expert Kilian Kleinschmidt said that governments should stop thinking about refugee camps – such as the settlements at France's Calais and Tempelhof Airport in Berlin – as temporary places in a recent interview with Dezeen.

“难民营曾经被认为是暂时性的，但现在并非如此了，它通过审查人权而成为一种场所，与城市发展相交叉，并且使其变得更加复杂，”MoMA说，回应了Kleinschmidt的评论。

并不是所有人都认为危机可以通过设计来解决。在最近的一篇评论文章中，Ruben Pater认为像难民挑战这样鼓励设计师们相信自己可以解决国际问题的举措，远远超出了他们的范围。 WDCD的创始人Richard Van Der Laken 确信地回应即使是最小的干预也能帮助改善这种状况。

现代艺术博物馆的展览旨在探讨这些相互矛盾的观点。展示的项目将包含Ikea和UNHCR的的模块化住宅急救结构。设计评论家Alice Rawsthorn描述它表现了“异常的灵敏和智能。”

Estudio Teddy Cruz、 Henk Wildschut和Tiffany Chung的作品也将被一一展示。

"Refugee camps, while once considered to be temporary, are no longer so, and have become a locus through which to examine how human rights intersect with and complicate the making of cities," said MoMA, echoing Kleinschmidt's comments.
Not all believe that the crisis can simply be solved by design. In a recent Opinion piece, Ruben Pater said that initiatives like the Refugee Challenge encourage designers to believe that they can solve international problems that go far beyond their reach. WDCD founder Richard Van Der Laken responded by assuring that even the smallest intervention could help improve the conditions.
MoMA's exhibition aims to examine these conflicting ideas. Items in the show will include Ikea and UNHCR's Better Shelter modular emergency structure, which has been described by design critic Alice Rawsthorn as "unusually sensitive and intelligent".
Works by Estudio Teddy Cruz, Henk Wildschut, Tiffany Chung will be among others on display.

“庇护所作为安全性和稳定性的来源，不安全感增加了它如何被设计与表现的质疑，最终反映难民在今天的动荡中如何生活，”MoMA说。

展览将从2016年的10月1日到2017年的1月22日在 MoMA展出，MoMA位于曼哈顿市中心的西53号街。

上个月，报道猜测博物馆扩建和重修后空间不会开放，随后博物馆被迫反驳正在拆除建筑和设计画廊的流言。

"Insecurities raises questions regarding how the design and representation of shelter as a source of security and stability ultimately reflects how refugees are living in permanent upheaval today," said MoMA.
The exhibition will be on show from 1 October 2016 to 22 January 2017 at MoMA, located on West 53rd Street in Midtown Manhattan.
Last month, the museum was forced to refute claims that it was abolishing its architecture and design galleries after reports speculated that the spaces would not reopen after the museum's ongoing expansion and refurbishment.
