在丹麦 Vejle艺术博物馆举办的2018Floating Art艺术节上，艺术家 Asmund Havsteen-Mikkelsen进行了创作，他将1:1复制的勒•柯布西耶1929年作品——萨伏伊别墅的一角沉入了水中。作品名为“被淹没的现代性”，一半淹没在水中的雕塑漂浮在Theejle海湾中，作为对最近英国退欧、唐纳德•特朗普、剑桥分析丑闻以及利用社交媒体操纵民主选举等社会政治事件中理性“沉沦”的一种思考。

On the occasion of the Floating Art 2018 Festival,organized by Denmark’s Vejle Art museum, artist Asmund Havsteen-Mikkelsen has created and sunk a 1:1 replica of a corner of Le Corbusier‘s 1929 Villa Savoye. Titled ‘Flooded Modernity’, the half-submerged sculpture floats in Theejle fjord as a comment on the ‘sinking’ of reason amidst recent sociopolitical events including Brexit, Donald Trump, the Cambridge Analytica scandal, and the use of social media to manipulate democratic elections.

作为现代建筑的先驱，勒•柯布西耶（Charles-édouard Jeanneret）在萨伏伊别墅中展示了我们所熟知的建筑和生活方式框架设计的五个要点：自由平面、自由立面、屋顶花园、横向长窗和底层架空。Asmund Havsteen-Mikkelsen模拟了标志性建筑的一部分。作品尺寸为15x6x9米，将在节日期间沿着丹麦海岸漂浮至9月2日。 萨伏伊别墅的建造原则受到了挑战，这位丹麦艺术家提醒我们，在当今动荡和冲突的社会政治场景中，我们对“现代社会的支柱”——理性的批判性使用——正处于危险之中，人们需要在它完全“被淹没”之前进行保护。

A pioneer of modern architecture, Le Corbusier (Charles-édouard Jeanneret) illustrated in Villa Savoye the five points that set the framework for housing and lifestyle as we know it: the open plan, the free facade, the roof garden, horizontal bands of windows, and the pilotis. Asmund Havsteen-Mikkelsen has created a mock-up of a part of the iconic structure in a size of 15 x 6 x 9 meters, which will float along the Danish Coast for the duration of the festival, until 2 September. Challenging the principles on which Villa Savoye was built, the Danish artist reminds us that during today’s turbulent and conflicted sociopolitical scene, our critical use of reason, ‘a pillar of modern society’, is in danger and must be protected before it completely ‘sinks’.



“在Floating Art艺术节上，我让萨伏伊别墅‘搁浅’在Vejle峡湾，表达了对当今现代化状况的一种评论，”这位艺术家解释道，“近年来的政治事件（英国退欧、特朗普的当选、普京对民主选举的干涉、欧洲右翼激进分子的进步）的发生都是基于新数字媒体的背景，这挑战了现代性中批判公众的经典概念。”Havsteen-Mikelsen继续道，“作品质疑了形成虚假新闻、私人信息泡沫，以及对传统批判新闻媒体经济基础的瓦解。充斥着现代性的作品是对当前形势的一种批判，试图提醒人们现代性的重要性，以及对如何处理现代性遗存的思考。”

‘When, at Floating Art, I let Villa Savoye ‘run aground’ in Vejle fjord, it is a comment on the state of modernity today,’ the artist explains, ‘the geopolitical events of recent years – Brexit, the election of Trump, Putin’s interference in democratic elections, the advancement of right-wing radicals in Europe – are happening with a background in and through the new digital media, which challenge modernity’s classic notions of a critical public.’ ‘A challenge through the formation of fake news, private information bubbles, and in dissolving the economic foundation of the traditional critical news media,’ Havsteen-Mikkelsen continues, ‘the work Flooded Modernity is a critical commentary on the present, an attempt to draw attention to the importance of modernity and how we will deal with the legacy of modernity.’
