阿莫斯-雷克斯起源于阿莫斯-安德森艺术博物馆,该博物馆自1965年以来一直是赫尔辛基领先的私人博物馆。为了适应21世纪当代艺术实践和展示的变化,阿莫斯-安德森艺术博物馆的受托人认为,与博物馆现有的由报纸办公室改建的场所相比,一个新的场地更适合提供新的艺术体验。附近的Lasipalatsi大楼是芬兰保存最完好的30年代功能主义建筑的典范之一,被确定为博物馆的新家。

Amos Rex has its origins in the Amos Anderson Art Museum, which since 1965 has been Helsinki’s leading private museum. To meet changes in the practice and display of contemporary art in the 21st Century, the trustees of the Amos Anderson Art Museum concluded that a new venue would be better suited for providing new art experiences than the museum’s existing accommodation in converted newspaper offices. The nearby Lasipalatsi building, one of Finland’s best-preserved examples of 1930s functionalist architecture was identified as a new home for the museum.

作为项目的一部分,Lasipalatsi已被全面翻新,并特别注意保留原始特征,包括芬兰的第一个外部霓虹灯照明。JKMM与赫尔辛基市博物馆合作,对历史资料进行了详细的研究,并对现场材料进行了分析,这使得JKMM能够重新创建一个符合原始设计的材料和颜色的调色板。

The Lasipalatsi has been comprehensively refurbished as part of the project, with special care given to preserve original features that include the first external neon lighting in Finland. Detailed research from historic sources as well as analysis of material on-site, conducted in partnership with the Helsinki City Museum, allowed JKMM to recreate a palette of materials and colours that is true to the original design.

Bio Rex,Lasipalatsi大楼内的590个座位的电影院已被恢复到20世纪30年代的辉煌,并被纳入新的机构,它的一半的名字被用来创建Amos Rex的身份。

Bio Rex, the 590 seat cinema within the Lasipalatsi building has been restored to its 1930s glory and incorporated into the new institution, giving half of its name to create the Amos Rex identity.

从翻新的Lasipalatsi的门厅,游客沿着楼梯走过一个可以看到公共广场的图片窗,进入地下画廊。新画廊的屋顶由一系列圆顶组成,带有倾斜的屋顶灯,可以看到周围的建筑,如果策展人选择,还可以用自然光照明展览。穹顶的形状在位于画廊上方的新景观公共广场的地形中得到了体现,它是一系列用混凝土瓦片覆盖的平缓的形式。

From the foyer of the refurbished Lasipalatsi, visitors descend a staircase past a picture window that affords views over the public square, into the basement galleries. The roof of the new gallery is formed by a series of domes with angled roof lights that frame views of the surrounding buildings and allow exhibitions to be lit with natural light if the curators choose. The shape of the domes is expressed in the topography of the newly landscaped public square which sits above the galleries, as a series of gently rolling forms clad in concrete tiles.

Lasipalatsi内现有的餐馆和商店将继续营业,并将有助于促进公共广场的生活和活动,该广场是赫尔辛基市中心社会生活的一个焦点,也是购物和娱乐区最重要的公共空间之一。广场还为阿莫斯-雷克斯提供了一个机会,以创建一个户外活动方案来支持其画廊展览。

The existing restaurants and shops within the Lasipalatsi will continue to trade and will help contribute to the life and activity of the public square, which is a focal point for the social life of Helsinki city centre and one of the most important public spaces in the shopping and entertainment district. The square also provides an opportunity for Amos Rex to create a programme of outdoor events to support its gallery shows.

画廊将得到世界一流的技术和存储空间的支持,在画廊下面的一个额外的地下楼层,使阿莫斯-雷克斯有必要的设施从国际上其他机构借出文物。

The gallery will be supported by world-class technical and storage spaces in an additional basement storey beneath the galleries, giving Amos Rex the necessary facilities to loan artefacts from other institutions internationally.

开幕展teamLab。Massless有五个数字艺术作品:四个使用数字投影创造的完全沉浸式空间,包括一个在阿莫斯-雷克斯首次亮相的新作品,以及一个基于LCD屏幕的展示。该展览将是该团体在日本以外完成的最大的展览之一,也是teamLab在北欧地区的首次展览。

The opening exhibition teamLab: Massless features five digital artworks: four fully immersive spaces created using digital projection, including a new work making its debut at Amos Rex, and an LCD screen-based display. The exhibition will be one of the largest completed by the collective outside Japan and the first teamLab exhibition in the Nordic region.

18岁以下的观众可以免费进入Amos Rex,一个专门针对儿童和青少年的艺术教育工作室将在主展厅旁边占据空间。18至30岁的参观者将支付5欧元的特别优惠入场费。

Entry to Amos Rex will be free for everybody under the age of 18 and an art education workshop dedicated to children and youngsters will occupy space alongside the main gallery. Visitors between the ages of 18 and 30 will pay a special reduced entry fee of €5.

阿莫斯-雷克斯是由赫尔辛基市和Föreningen Konstsamfundet共同建造的,Föreningen Konstsamfundet是一个由慈善家阿莫斯-安德森遗赠的艺术基金会。Föreningen Konstsamfundet经营着阿莫斯-安德森艺术博物馆,并为新的阿莫斯-雷克斯提供了所有资金。该基金会将把阿莫斯-雷克斯作为一个私人机构来经营。

Amos Rex was constructed through a joint venture between the City of Helsinki and the Föreningen Konstsamfundet, an arts foundation set up as the bequest of the philanthropist Amos Anderson. Föreningen Konstsamfundet operated the Amos Anderson Art Museum and has provided all the funding for the new Amos Rex. The foundation will operate Amos Rex as a private institution.
