艺术家Morag Myerscough对英格兰北部Hadrian城堡城墙旁罗马风格的门楼进行了新的多彩诠释。

这座名为“未来属于过去和现在”的展馆坐落在原城堡北部门楼的旧址上，其历史可以追溯到公元122年。

Artist Morag Myerscough has unveiled a colourful reinterpretation of the original gatehouse at Housesteads Roman Fort alongside Hadrian's Wall in northern England.
Named The Future Belongs To What Was As Much As What Is, the pavilion stands on the site of the original northern gatehouse at the fort, which dates back to 122AD.

这座高8.5米、宽12.5米的建筑由英国遗产协会委托建造，它复制了原来罗马门楼的规模。

它的建造是为了纪念Hadrian城堡建成1900周年。Hadrian城堡曾是罗马帝国北部边界处一个73英里长的防御工事。

Commissioned by English Heritage, the 8.5-metre-high and 12.5-metre-wide structure replicates the size of the original Roman gatehouse.
It was created to mark 1,900 years since construction began on Hadrian's Wall – a 73-mile-long defensive fortification that marked the northern border of the Roman Empire.

英国遗产协会首席执行官Kate Mavor说：“Hadrian城堡是英国极具标志性的地标，为了它的周年纪念，我们希望通过一种有意义的方式将2022年的人们与公元122年联系起来。”

Mavor说：“我们希望在这片古老的景观环境中放置大胆的当代艺术装置，不仅能抓住人们的想象力，还可能引发他们对这堵墙用途的联想。”

“这不仅是一种阻止人们进入的手段，而且是一个让人们可以实际跨越的边界。”

"Hadrian's Wall is one of England's most iconic landmarks and to mark its anniversary, we wanted a meaningful way to connect people of 2022 back to 122AD," said English Heritage chief executive Kate Mavor.
"We hope that placing such a bold contemporary art installation in this ancient landscape will not only capture people's imagination but maybe also challenge their ideas of what the wall was for," Mavor said.
"Not just a means to keep people out, but a frontier that people could – and did – cross."

重新设计的门楼由脚手架框架搭建而成，上面覆盖着由Myerscough设计的色彩鲜艳的面板。到该景点的游客可以爬上该结构，一览整个景区的景色。

这些面板的设计是为了与周围的景观形成对比，其灵感来源于诺森伯兰郡Chesters Roman Fort博物馆展示的现场文物。

Myerscough说：“当我看到Housesteads并开始在城堡周围徘徊，我有一种强烈的感觉，应该在那里设计一个空间装置。”

“我站在北门楼的废墟上，看着这片自罗马时代以来似乎从未改变过的荒野，我立刻就知道那就是我要找的地方。”

The reimagined gatehouse was constructed from a scaffolding frame and covered in brightly coloured panels designed by Myerscough. Visitors to the site will be able to climb the structure to see views across the site.
The panels, which were designed to contrast the surrounding landscape, were informed by artefacts found at the site that are on display at Chesters Roman Fort museum in Northumberland.
"The moment I saw Housesteads and started walking around the fort I had an overwhelming feeling of wanting to make an installation there," Myerscough said.
"I stood in the remains of the north gatehouse and I looked at the wilderness that appeared to be unchanged since Roman times and I knew immediately that was the place."

面板上的这些词是诗人Ellen Moran和当地社区的一些成员合作选择的，他们也画了一些面板。

Myerscough说：“这项工作与当地社区的合作，与它的目标人群有关，这对我和英国遗产协会来说都非常重要。”

“整个建筑作品都是和当地社区一起创作的，我们一起完成了它。”

The words were chosen in collaboration with poet Ellen Moran and members of the local community, who also painted some of the panels.
"It was so important to me, and to English Heritage, that the work was a collaboration with the local community and that it relates to the people it is for," Myerscough said.
"The whole work has been created and made with the local community, we have made it together."

总部位于伦敦的Myerscough工作室在英国各地建成了许多亮眼的装置。为了应对新冠的影响，她最近在巴黎修建了一座色彩缤纷的装置，并在伦敦修建了一个竹亭，为路人带来“意想不到的欢乐”。

London-based Myerscough has created numerous bright installations across the UK. She recently responded to the coronavirus pandemic with a colourful installation in Paris and a bamboo pavilion to bring "unexpected joy" to passersby in London.
