荷兰阿尔米尔艺术展馆M

荷兰的阿尔米尔市建在填海而成的土地上，这里曾经是荷兰的一个名为Zuiderzee的浅海海湾。 该规划中新城镇的第一座住宅于1976年落成。 到现在这座城市的人口已经增长到近22万，这意味着阿尔米尔正在成为荷兰第五大城市。 然而，阿尔米尔缺乏一个标志性的博物馆以迎合这样的城市地位。 地方、省级和国家政府的管理人员一致认为，博物馆是提高城市吸引力的首要任务，但他们没有急于建造，而是决定先尝试建造一个临时的沉浸式艺术展馆，在未来几年里有足够的空间来开发和测试新的想法。 这座未来的博物馆被命名为M.，即未来可能命运的第一个字母。 今年4月，M.展馆——2022年弗洛里亚德世博会场地上的一座美丽的漂浮展馆正式对外开放。 在这个年轻的工作室Ossidiana的巧妙设计中，展现了许多与阿尔米尔的历史联系，仿佛一座城市从过去的大海中升起。

The Dutch city of Almere was built on reclaimed land where once was the Zuiderzee: a shallow sea bay in the Netherlands. The first house in this planned New Town was completed in 1976. Since then, the city has grown to a population of nearly 220.000, which means Almere is well on its way to being the fifth-largest city in the country. However, Almere lacks a museum of note, befitting a city of such stature. Local, provincial, and national government administrators agreed that a museum should be on top of the priority list to raise the city's appeal. Instead of establishing one immediately, it was decided to first experiment with a temporary art pavilion for immersive art with plenty of room to develop and test new ideas over the coming years. The museum-to-be was named M., claiming the first letter of its possible future destiny. In April, M.’s home base - a beautiful floating pavilion on the grounds of Floriade Expo 2022 – opened its doors. In the ingenious design by young duo Studio Ossidiana, there are numerous links to the history of Almere, a city rising from a former sea.   

水与土壤Water and soil  

Ossidiana工作室的灵感来自弗莱福兰省取代的大海和Weerwater湖，在那里亭子将会漂浮在水上。团队设计了三个圆圈:包括港口、舞台和天文台。 港口是一个环形的水上长廊，游客可以在上面行走，也可以进行户外活动。 它是由定制的水磨石制成的，使用了贝壳、贻贝、粘土和取自弗莱福兰土壤的木炭。 舞台是一个带有露台的岛屿，在强风中会在水中漂浮。 观景台位于第三个圆形平台上，设有两个展览空间。 它提供了一个从内到外的梦幻视角。 轻质的聚碳酸酯圆柱形façade过滤和反射水和绿色植物的色调。 游客的剪影投射在立面精心设计的开口上，创造出一种艺术奇观。
Studio Ossidiana was inspired by the sea that the province of Flevoland replaced and by the Weerwater Lake, where the pavilion would float. Their design features three circles: The Port, The Stage, and The Observatory. The Port is a ring-shaped promenade on the water that visitors can walk on and that allows for outdoor programming. It’s made from a custom-designed terrazzo using shells, mussels, clay, and charcoal, found in Flevoland's soil. The Stage is an island with a terrace that will drift like a floating platform in strong winds. The Observatory, located on the third circular platform, has two exhibition spaces. It offers a dreamy view from the inside and out. The lightweight polycarbonate cylindrical façade filters and reflects the hues of the water and greenery. The visitors' silhouettes cast through the façade's carefully designed openings create an artistic spectacle.   

沉浸式艺术博物馆Museum for Immersive Art  

M.展馆是阿尔梅勒和弗莱福兰新标志的前奏，如果试点成功，将在未来五到十年内在阿尔梅勒建立国内和国际知名博物馆的前身。未来的博物馆希望让每个人都能接触到沉浸式的景观艺术，无论是否事先了解艺术。顾名思义，参观者将沉浸在所展示的艺术中。他们将被吸引到其中，成为它的一部分，甚至参与它的创造。展馆中的第一个博览会是NaturAlly：Wild Futures，目前正在展出。它以五位新兴艺术家的作品为特色，他们展示了他们对未来野性的愿景。游客可以在树丛中漫步，乘坐立体模型前往粉红色的海底世界，了解机器如何帮助鸟类筑巢，并在露台上观看现代版的原始汤。
M. is a prelude to a new icon for Almere and Flevoland, a precursor to a nationally and internationally renowned museum to be established in Almere in the next five to ten years if the pilot is a success. The museum-to-be wants to make immersive and landscape art accessible to everyone, with or without prior knowledge of art. As the name suggests, visitors will be immersed in the art shown. They will be drawn into it, become part of it, or even participate in its creation. The first expo in the pavilion is NaturAlly: Wild Futures, currently on display. It features the work of five emerging artists who show their vision of the wild nature of the future. Visitors can walk among trees on heels, travel along in a diorama to a pink underwater world, see how machines help birds build their nests, and watch a modern version of primordial soup outside on the terrace.

在展馆外，M.还向公共场所的观众介绍了艺术。 在阿尔梅勒的中心，两家空置的商店已被改造成沉浸式艺术装置。在这里，游客可以用数字绘画为描绘未来绿色阿尔梅勒的巨大全景做出贡献，或者在迷宫中漫步，欣赏各种当地艺术家的艺术。

Outside of the pavilion, M. also introduces the art to audiences in public spaces.  In the center of Almere, two empty stores have been converted into immersive art installations. Here, visitors can contribute with paint by numbers to a huge panorama depicting the green Almere of the future or wander through a maze with art by various local artists.

2022年世界园艺博览会Floriade Expo 2022  

目前，M's展馆位于2022年世界园艺博览会Floriade Expo的中心。博览会结束后，该场地将被开发成一座花园，这是一个创新的，可持续的住宅开发项目，而M.展馆正是其中的主要景点。
Currently, M’s pavilion sits at the heart of the world horticultural exhibition Floriade Expo 2022. After the expo, the site will be developed into Hortus, an innovative, sustainable residential development, with M. as a key attraction.
