Sentences after Conceptual Art, Hradec Králové, Czech Republic

捷克赫拉德茲.克拉洛韋 文字教堂

The Sentences after Conceptual Art project thematises a fascinating similarity between the religious doctrines and a selected segment of art theory. In the work, the author combines the legacy of the iconic text Sentences of Conceptual Art by American artist Sol LeWitt with the architectural purity of Josef Gočár's functionalist church. In Petr Dub's perspective, the Czechoslovak Hussite Church becomes a timeless bridge between the knowledge of faith and the knowledge of art.

 

捷克藝術家彼得.杜布透過該案將美國藝術家索爾.勒維特的著作《關於觀念藝術的句子》,與捷克建築師約瑟夫.戈恰爾所建的功能主義教堂融合,使捷克斯洛伐克胡斯派教堂成為信仰和藝術之間的永恆橋梁。

 

 

LeWitt's rational and speculative interpretations of conceptual art are projected by Petr Dub into the structures of strict modernist architecture, thus capturing the dogmas of the fine arts of the last century in today’s equally dogmatically perceived architecture. The author deliberately avoided attempts to apply the Sentences to physical architecture. Therefore, he collaborates on the project with his colleague, photographer Zdeněk Porcal, who captures the interior of the church more than perfectly photographically, so that the resulting material is subsequently modified in post-production by Pavel Vinter, professionally versed in architectural visualisations. This creates a chain of semantic and visual layers without the Sentences actually appearing in the architecture.

 

彼得.杜布將藝術家索爾對觀念藝術的理性和思辨投射於結構嚴謹的現代主義建築中,從而在現今的建築中捕捉上世紀藝術的教條。為避免將文本內生硬的字句直接應用於實體建築,於是彼得與同事、攝影師茲德涅克.波卡爾合作展開該項目。首先,攝影師以完美的拍攝方式捕捉教堂內部影像,隨後由精通建築可視化的夥伴在後期製作期間,對所得到的素材進行修改,繼而創建一系列的語義和視覺層面,而這些句子實際上並未實際顯現於建築上,反倒以幻覺的方式描繪「現實」。

Petr Dub does not shift the Sentences only in the visual sense, but also in the semantic sense, when he replaces the words ''art'' and ''artist'' in LeWitt's Sentences with the words ''faith'' and ''believer''. The ideas acquire a completely new content framework and in the context of the sacral architectural space, they transcend to the general level of social, cultural and spiritual values of contemporary society and their transformation and possible decomposition.

 

當彼得將書中所提及的「藝術」和「藝術家」替換為「信仰」和「信徒時」,不僅在視覺層面上對句子進行變換,更在語意層面上進行變動。神聖的建築空間,藉由這些構思獲得了全新框架,所蘊含的意義不僅超越當代社會、文化和精神價值,超脫一般的思維模式。
