wHY Architecture creates "immersive" tent for first Frieze Los Angeles

洛杉矶首届Frieze艺术博览以好莱坞电影为主题，美国wHY Architecture公司旨在为游客提供“后台和幕后的感觉”。

艺术杂志Frieze每年都会在伦敦和纽约市举办当代艺术博览会，今年则于2月15日至17日在洛杉矶举办了首届Frieze艺术博览会。

The inaugural Frieze Art Fair Los Angeles has taken place on the grounds of a Hollywood movie set, with a venue that US firm wHY Architecture designed to give visitors the "feeling of being backstage and behind-the-scenes".
Art magazine Frieze, which presents contemporary art fairs in London and New York City annually, hosted the inaugural Frieze Art Fair Los Angeles from 15 to 17 February.



总部位于纽约和洛杉矶的wHY Architecture公司参与了在Paramount Pictures工作室举办的活动，为该活动设计了入口凉亭、主帐篷和户外展览及设施。

“这个空间呼应了后台和幕后，这个地方让人肃然起敬，当游客进入主帐篷时却会有兴奋激动的感觉。”建筑师说。

New York and Los Angeles-based wHY Architecture was enlisted to design an entry pavilion, main tent, and outdoor exhibits and amenities for the event, which was held in Hollywood at Paramount Pictures Studios.
"The space echoes the feeling of being backstage and behind-the-scenes, paying homage to the location, while creating a sense of excitement as visitors enter the main tent," said wHY Architecture.



入口亭面积为3,800平方英尺（353平方米），完善了花园式区域，装饰有长凳、户外灯、人造草坪和常春藤。

入口的形状为双拱形，旨在模仿Melrose Avenue上Paramount Pictures的大门，这是一座宽敞的酒店，拥有工作室、道具仓库、众多舞台、停车场以及一个占地5英亩（2公顷）的背景空间。

Measuring 3,800 square feet (353 square metres), the entry pavilion was completed with a garden-like area decorated with benches, outdoor lamps, artificial grass and ivy.
Shaped as a double arch, the entrance is intended to mimic the gate to Paramount Pictures on Melrose Avenue – an expansive property with studios, prop warehouses, numerous stages, parking lots, and a five-acre (two-hectare) backlot.









“入口亭的两个拱门被人造叶子包裹着，是对好莱坞Melrose Avenue上着名的双层拱门Paramount工作室门的呼应，欢迎游客前往帐篷，暗示着着身临其境的室内外体验。”建筑师说。

在入口处，售票亭、客户服务和外套检查都被安置在一个镶有蓝色胶合板的房间里，不同于曾经应用过的粉红色。

"The entry pavilion, with two archways wrapped entirely in faux-foliage, is a nod to the famous double arches of Paramount Studio's Gate on Hollywood's Melrose Avenue, welcoming visitors as they make their way to the tent and signalling the immersive, indoor-outdoor experience that lies beyond," the studio said.
Also at the entrance, ticketing booths, guest services, and coat check were housed in a room panelled in blue-stained plywood, to contrast the hot pink used for Freize LA.





数百件当代艺术作品安置在一座大型临时帐篷内，占地62,000平方英尺（5,760平方米）。白色凉亭顶部是半透明的天花板，充满自然光线。

在内部，建筑师设置了一面半高墙体，打破广阔的空间感，并创造各种展馆流线和展示艺术的角落空间。

走廊连接三个主要走道，在帐篷入口处较宽，向后稍微延伸。

“这种布局鼓励游客选择自己的流线，从原有和新建的画廊之间沿着蜿蜒小道，感受平衡和变化。”建筑师说。

Hundreds of contemporary art pieces are housed within a larger, temporary tent that measures 62,000 square feet (5,760 square metres). The white pavilion is topped with translucent ceiling panels to flood the interiors with natural light.
Inside, half-height walls are inserted to break up the vast space and create various paths and nooks for showcasing art.
Corridors connect with three main walkways, which are wider at the tent's entry and grow smaller towards the back.
"The layout encourages visitors to choose their own path, discovering and meandering between booths from galleries both established and new, organized by Frieze for balance and variation," said the architecture firm.





完善的户外展览和设施在展厅序列之后，位于一个超过艺术场地大小两倍的区域。

户外活动旨在借鉴洛杉矶的室内和室外生活方式。其中还包括SQIRL和Roberta餐馆的弹出窗口，以及零售区和书店。

Completing Frieze are outdoor exhibits and amenities further within Paramount's back lot, in an area that is over double the size of the art venue.
The outdoor programme is intended to draw on LA's indoor-outdoor lifestyle, complemented by its warm climate. Spaces include pop-ups of eateries SQIRL and Roberta, as well as retail areas and a bookstore.



“洛杉矶是一座开放的城市。”wHY Architecture创始人兼创意总监Kulapat Yantrasast说道，“当我在2003年搬到这里时，这里充斥着光明、空间和自由，而且每天都有新事物的诞生。”

泰国建筑师Yantrasast是美国当代艺术画廊和博物馆的热门人物，因此本次活动也由他的公司来负责。wHY在该市的其他成就包括David Kordansky画廊和洛杉矶当代艺术学院。

"LA is a city with an open spirit," said wHY Architecture founder and creative director Kulapat Yantrasast. "When I moved here in 2003 it was for the light, the space and the freedom – and it still feels like new things can happen here."
Thai architect Yantrasast has become the go-to for contemporary art galleries and museums in the US, making his firm a suitable choice for Frieze's first LA event. wHY's other accomplishments in the city include David Kordansky Gallery and Institute of Contemporary Art Los Angeles.



“这很像是一个媒人。”他在今年接受采访时告诉Dezeen记者，“你介绍了两个朋友，一个是艺术家，另一个是艺术爱好者，他们之前并不认识对方，然后你会逐步了解到他们的不同背景。”

Frieze艺术博览会在伦敦成立，每年10月在该市举行。它于2012年首次来到美国，纽约的临时建筑由Brooklyn工作室SO-IL设计，现在每年五月举办活动。

"It's a lot like being a matchmaker," he told Dezeen in an interview this year. "You're introducing two friends – one the artist, and the other the art-lover – who didn't know each other beforehand, and then you step into the background."
Frieze Art Fair was established in London, and takes place each October in the city. It first came to the US in 2012, with a temporary structure in New York designed by Brooklyn studio SO-IL, and now holds events every May.
