紧随艺术家Xavier Veilhan, Daniel Buren 和 Dan Graham, Felice Varini之后，Felice Varini也走进了柯布西耶的马赛公寓。这个7月2号开幕，10月2号闭幕的艺术展由艺术家Ora Ito策展，位于马赛公寓楼顶的MAMO艺术中心。Felice Varini是一位拥有瑞士法国背景的艺术家，他生活在巴黎，一直用一种独特的立场在进行艺术创作，这也是他第一次在一栋柯布西耶的建筑中设计自己的作品。对他而言，马赛公寓是一件拥有巨大影响的地标性建筑。柯布西耶用复杂的柱式设计出一个浓缩了整个马赛市的微型城市，这栋建筑以缩影的方式重构了巨大的城市，如此的振奋人心。

Following in the footsteps of Xavier Veilhan, Daniel Buren and Dan Graham, Felice Varini goes face-to-face with Le Corbusier’s architecture at MAMO, the art centre created by Ora Ito on the roof terrace of Cité Radieuse in Marseille from 2nd July to 2nd October. The French-Swiss artist living in Paris finds himself in a unique situation, “This is the first time that I have exhibited on, in and with architecture designed by Le Corbusier. This place is a landmark, a huge influence. It is a true microcosm, designed as a small city with its range of complex volumes, a small city with a view over the large city of Marseille. It is extremely exciting!”

Felice Varini用了三个不同项目，从三个视角拓宽了马赛公寓楼顶的空间维度。Ora Ito之所以选择Felice Varinid，因为“他是当代艺术家中少有的可以操纵，说明和强调一栋建筑乃至整个城市的艺术家。”Ora Ito说，“这片场地是Felice Varini表达自我最自然的媒介，我很荣幸把这片屋顶介绍给他，尽管他只在照片上见过这儿一次。”

Felice Varini1952年出生于瑞士的Locarno，生活在法国巴黎，不同地方的生活经历也影响了他艺术创作。在每一件作品创作之初，Felice Varini都会鞭辟入里的解读场地的建筑，材料，历史和功能；尽管需要场地解读的特征复杂多变，但是Felice Varini总是可以围绕自己的形式语汇找到一个可靠的视点。对Felice Varini而言，这个视角的选择十分重要：他选择的视角通常会位于走道上视平线的高度，比如一间屋子通向另一间屋子的平台。Felice Varini认为空间是无系统的，而且空间与空间之间没有清晰的路径，所以他从来不会去依照规律选择视点，而是依赖直觉。

就像人们欣赏一幅画的关键点一样，Felice Varini选择的视点也是理解他空间艺术的关键。当观众处于这一点时，画的形状是有意义的，但是当观众离开这一点时，绘画又在空间中产生了无限的图景和形状。因此，Felice Varini认为完整的作品一定不可以从一个点去欣赏，而必须从更加宽广更加多元的空间角度去解读。

Felice Varini will span the whole terrace with three pieces (red and yellow) offering three different viewpoints. This is a logical choice made by Ora Ito for whom Felice Varini is one of few great contemporary artists “able to use, underline and highlight a single architecture equally as well as a whole city. The space is his natural medium, I am very proud to have introduced him to this roof terrace that he had only previously seen in a photo.”

Felice Varini was born in 1952 in Locarno, Switzerland. He now lives in Paris. He operates in situ in a different place each time and as a result his work evolves in relation to it. “I generally scour the venue taking in its architecture, materials, history and function. Based on its varying spatial data, I define a viewpoint around which my initiative takes shape. For me a viewpoint is a point in the space that I choose carefully: it is usually situated at my eye level and preferably located in a key passageway, for example where one room leads to another, a landing, etc. I don’t make a rule of it, as spaces don’t all systematically have an obvious path. The choice is often arbitrary.

The viewpoint will function like a point of interpretation, that is, like a potential starting point to approach the painting and the space. The painted form makes sense when the spectator is in this spot. When the spectator leaves the viewpoint, the work encounters the space generating an infinite number of views of the shape. Therefore I do not see the accomplished work through this first point; this is encompassed in all the views that the spectator may have of it.”

MOMA艺术中心坐落于柯布西耶1945年到1952年的建筑马赛公寓顶楼，是Ora Ito于2013年创立的。作为柯布西耶最伟大的作品之一的马赛公寓，已经启发了很多当代艺术家的创作。MAMO既是Marseille Modulor的缩写，也是Marseille Main Ouverte的缩写。Marseille Main Ouverte是柯布西耶为印度昌迪加尔设计的著名手型雕塑，寓意着对全世界艺术家的祝福和护佑。Ora是一位通才式的创造者，致力于分享快乐和文化传播。

Located on the top of La Cité Radieuse built between 1945 and 1952, MAMO is an art centre created by Ora Ito in 2013. Le Corbusier’s masterpiece has therefore become a setting and springboard for contemporary creation. Xavier Veilhan, Daniel Buren, Dan Graham and now Felice Varini are the first artists to conceive works in situ on this historic roof terrace where the Corbu spirit inspires, impels and diffuses. MAMO short for Marseille Modulor, and MAMO short for Marseille Main Ouverte, the infamous open hand designed by sculptor Le Corbusier, produced after his death and located in Chandigarh in India blessing MAMO. It welcomes, grasps and helps creativity and artists, also taking all audiences by the hand. Ora Ito is an all-rounder and brilliant creator. He is an altruistic born agitator with a passion for shapes, addressing substantive concerns: how do we make living together easier? How do we foster enjoyment, sharing and culture? Ora Ito has lived between Paris and Marseille for 15 years and with MAMO, he wishes to build bridges to enable enjoyment and encounters.
