位于基辅的工作室balbek bureau为南极洲的Vernadsky研究基地创造了一个艺术项目。家。记忆 “装置位于加林德兹岛,灵感来自于传统的乌克兰房子的形象。

Kyiv-based studio balbek bureau created an art project for the Vernadsky Research Base in Antarctica. The ‘Home. Memories’ installation located on the island of Galindez is inspired by the image of a traditional Ukrainian house.

该项目由国家南极研究中心委托,在Silpo零售连锁店的支持下实施。施工是由Wonder Workshop局负责的。

The project was commissioned by the National Antarctic Research Center and implemented with the support of the Silpo retail chain. The construction was handled by the Wonder Workshop bureau.

2021年11月,balbek局的任务是重新利用乌克兰Vernadsky(前英国法拉第)研究基地的一个废弃的油箱。该装置旨在为研究站的工作人员和游客提供视觉享受,必须易于组装,能够抵御恶劣的天气条件,并且对生活在岛上的3500多只企鹅是安全的。

In November 2021, balbek bureau was tasked to repurpose a defunct fuel tank at the Ukrainian Vernadsky (former British Faraday) research base. The installation, intended as a visual treat for the station staff and tourists, had to be easily assembled, resistant to severe weather conditions, and safe for more than 3,500 penguins living on the island.

考虑到该站是极地研究人员的 “家外之家”,建筑师们根据乌克兰农村房屋的合成图像设计了一个装置。水箱周围有一个薄薄的细节框架,类似于铅笔素描:就像有人在回忆时,从记忆中画出了他们的童年家园。

Envisioning the station as a ‘home away from home’ for the polar researchers, the architects designed an installation based on a composite image of a Ukrainian rural house. A thin detailed frame around the tank resembles a pencil sketch: as if someone, reminiscing, draws their childhood home from memory.

为了配合这个装置,balbek bureau用来自乌克兰的纪念品创造了一个小型展览,包括一个被联合国教科文组织列入名单的科索夫彩绘陶瓷样品和一个来自顿涅茨克地区的嵌入树脂的煤块。后来,在乌克兰文化和信息政策部的帮助下,该展览得到了扩大。

To accompany the installation, balbek bureau created a mini exposition with souvenirs from Ukraine, including a sample of the UNESCO-listed Kosiv painted ceramics and a lump of coal from the Donetsk region embedded in resin. The exhibition was later expanded with the help of the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine.

拆卸后的结构在2022年春天被运送到维尔纳茨基基地,但由于俄罗斯入侵乌克兰,安装工作被推迟了。2023年2月,balbek局的首席执行官、建筑师Slava Balbek和Wonder Workshop负责人Dmytro Zinoviev前往南极洲并完成了该项目。

The disassembled structure was delivered to the Vernadsky base in the spring of 2022, but the mounting was postponed due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. In February 2023, balbek bureau’s CEO, architect Slava Balbek and the Wonder Workshop head Dmytro Zinoviev headed to Antarctica and completed the project.
