Jim Lambie: Zobop (Colour-Chrome),展览在温哥华艺术画廊，从2025年10月22日到2026年10月12日。（照片：温哥华艺术画廊） 艺术不必局限于画廊框架内——它可以扩展到整个房间。来自格拉斯哥的艺术家、DJ和音乐人Jim Lambie利用充满活力的工业乙烯基胶带和几何图案将日常建筑空间转变为沉浸式、充满活力的装置。他的作品，名为Zobop (Colour-Chrome)，将温哥华艺术画廊宏伟的新古典主义圆厅变成一个充满色彩的迷幻空间。 Lambie创造的“Zobop”一词是对爵士乐Bebop的趣味致敬。通过语言、节奏和色彩，他的装置捕捉到音乐性和动态。整个装置花费了数周时间安装，每一条工业乙烯基胶带都是手工应用的。Lambie遵循建筑的轮廓，创造出几乎像液体画般流淌的鲜艳色彩线条。 “Lambie的Zobop (Colour-Chrome)将那种形式感转变为一种生动、动态和愉悦的东西，”画廊的临时首席执行官和策展人Eva Respini说。“地面变成了一幅画，楼梯变成了雕塑，访客在其中移动时成为了作品的一部分。这件作品重新定义了空间，使之成为一个戏剧化、色彩斑斓和社区共享的地方。” 自安装以来，Zobop (Colour-Chrome)鼓励访客按照自己的时间探索这个空间，在色彩之间舞动，甚至在地面上伸展开来。Lambie成功地将普通的楼梯使用体验转化为一次独一无二的愉悦体验。“这将一个过渡空间转变为一个目的地；楼梯变成一个沉浸式、充满活力的体验，”Respini说。“它提醒我们，艺术可以是即时的、集体的，并充满欢乐。” 请查看下面Zobop (Colour-Chrome)的照片，并在温哥华艺术画廊欣赏这一令人惊叹的装置，直至2026年10月12日。 Zobop (Colour-Chrome)由Jim Lambie创作，将温哥华艺术画廊宏伟的新古典主义圆厅转变为一个充满色彩的迷幻空间。 整个装置花费了数周时间安装，每一条工业乙烯基胶带都是手工应用的。 这位艺术家将普通的楼梯使用体验转化为一次独一无二的愉悦体验。 访客享受Jim Lambie: Zobop (Colour-Chrome)，展览在温哥华艺术画廊，从2025年10月22日到2026年10月12日。（照片：温哥华艺术画廊） 温哥华艺术画廊：网站 | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube My Modern Met获得授权展示温哥华艺术画廊的照片 相关文章： 绚丽的线艺装置伸展线条创造出发光的室内彩虹 彩虹隧道引导客人迈向未来，位于东京 京都成为teamLab最大沉浸式装置博物馆的家 2025年最佳：My Modern Met上展示的十大艺术装置
