作品简介:
文成堂是北京最大的软木古家具行,张春林先生主持它,并渐渐回溯到古家具的源头-----古家具的修复和保护。
张春林先生说的最多的一句话:“没有不好的家具。”由是,他的空间里家具贯通各个时代,联接北方各个地域。
我们受邀设计展厅,仅将三件家具放入其中。
总结椅凳类、桌案类、柜架类、床榻类家具尺度后,设计三个龛体,龛体高、深阔度不同,对应不同类家具,龛体于空间中心位置,连续转折如有机体,观者以游走,环绕多方位、多深度感受过去的物件。
龛体延折至东侧,生成多向、多尺度、多组合的龛集合,众多古器物和石雕以及垂挂的烛灯,簇拥出一个交流区。三个展主家具的龛,定了空间调性,而众多小龛、密集小物件、老器物的集合就构成与三个主家具关联的场域,这里传统不孤,互相映证中国北方结构造物于形体、线条、材质、纹样……在朝代交迭中的演化。
做这个项目时,我常常想到龙门石窟。中央是卢舍那佛,左右是菩萨、罗汉、力士等等...一个绝美的佛国。而这展厅,最终也汇聚几十倍于三件的家具。它们集于转折体周边,其间大小互成,构成一段古物的时空。
Wencheng Hall is the largest collector of soft lumber antique furniture in Beijing. Master Zhang Chunlin is the curator and the only who gradually restored the original essence of antique furniture, their refurbishment and preservation.
In Master Zhang’s words: there is no bad furniture. As such, his collection spans different dynasties and across north China.
We’ve been invited to design the exhibit hall, and have chosen to put only 3 pieces of furniture up for exhibition.
We designed 3 shrines of difference height, depth and width, corresponding to different categories of furniture: chair/stool, table/desk, cabinetry/shelf, and bed/couch. The shrines are placed in the center of the space, and are connected organically. Viewers can walk around, view from different angles and get a sense of how these furniture were used in the old days.
East to the shrine turns into a multitude of smaller shrines of various orientation, size and ways of being combined, displaying a collection of artifacts, stone carvings, and hanging candle lamps, and forming an area for interactions.
The three main shrines displaying the furniture, define the tone of the space, while the multitude of smaller shrines with artifacts and accessories provide the story line of how the three large pieces of furniture interact with each other. Here, the tradition of northern furniture making is manifested through shapes, lines, materials, and patterns, providing a sense of the transition from dynasty to dynasty.
While working on this project, I often think of LongmenGrottoes. In the middle is Lurothe Buddha, on the left and right sides are buddhas, arhats, and heroes, forming a perfect Buddhist world. Ultimately, this exhibit hall also tries to showcase much more than 3 pieces of furniture. They gather and twist around the shrines, with contrast and harmony between the large and the small, thereby forming a space for ancient objects.
