一艘停泊在Zapyškis(立陶宛考纳斯区)的挖泥船,由于技术落后,对河流生态系统有害,不能再用于其预期目的。团队在这里的目标是把它作为一个展览品,同时创造一个具有新功能的空间。因此,文化船 “Nemuno 7 “诞生了。它容纳了一个跨学科的艺术中心,提供展览、水上公园、艺术家的住所和其他文化活动。该船的甲板上种植了各种类型的先锋植物。它们的整合是该船改造的关键因素之一。

A dredger-ship moored in Zapyškis (Kaunas district, Lithuania) can no longer be used for its intended purpose due to outdated technology that is harmful to the river ecosystem. The team’s goal here was to use it as an exhibit and at the same time create a space with a new function. Thus, the culture ship ‘Nemuno 7’ was born. It houses an interdisciplinary arts center that offers exhibitions, a park on the water, artists’ residences, and other cultural activities. The deck of the ship is planted with various types of pioneer plants. Their integration was one of the key elements of the ship’s transformation.

Nemuno 7 “是一个独特的河流工程和水上景观建筑项目。它编码了当地的技术历史、遗产、文化、当代艺术和建筑。在船的甲板上,有一个永久性的展览’Tarpti’(翻译为’茁壮成长’)–九件关于水主题的艺术作品。在这里,建筑外墙不断变化,发出声音,闻到粘土的味道,用艺术装置带来惊喜,在水面上摇摆,并向游客讲述许多不同的植物故事。挖泥船似乎在邀请我们去挖掘、重新发现和审视船舶和内穆纳河水的未知的微观和宏观世界。

‘Nemuno 7’ is a unique river engineering and landscape architectural project on water. It encodes local technical history, heritage, culture, contemporary art, and architecture. On the deck of the ship, there is a permanent exhibition ‘Tarpti’ (which translates as ‘To thrive and to flourish’) – nine art objects on the topic of water. Here, the architectural façade is constantly changing, making sounds, smelling of clay, surprising with artistic installations, swaying on the water, and telling the visitors many different plant stories. The dredger-ship seems to invite us to dig up, rediscover and look into the unknown micro and macro worlds of the ship and the water of the Nemunas.

这个项目是一个例子,说明旧的和生锈的机制可以被复活以发挥新的功能。它们不需要特别的东西来与环境和谐,因为它们本身作为物体就创造了和谐。

This project is an example of how old and rusty mechanisms can be resurrected for a new function. They do not need to be special to be in harmony with their environment, because they themselves create harmony as objects.

温室甲板的一个空间是一个教育空间–一个专门用于举办小型讲习班和有关水的信息的房间。在另一个空间,设计了一个艺术家的住所,通过把这个区域改造成一个更舒适的、可居住的空间,用于睡觉、工作、吃饭和创作。船上的厕所和淋浴间通过拆卸后来出现的塑料板,暴露出金属表面,保持了真实性。

One of the spaces of the tween deck is an education space – a room dedicated to mini-workshops and information about water. In another space, an artist’s residence has been designed, by transforming this area into a more comfortable, liveable space for sleeping, working, eating, and creating. The toilet and shower room on the ship are kept authentic by dismounting plastic panels that appeared later and exposing the metal surfaces.

房间变得更宽敞、更干净、更舒适。新设计的区域包括上层建筑上的展览空间和下面的驻场艺术家的小型厨房。老挖泥船空间的颜色和美学保持了原汁原味,而新空间则以单色的极简主义风格为主。主要的设计亮点是挖泥船本身、植物和艺术品的展示。

The rooms have become more spacious, cleaner, and more comfortable. The newly designed area includes an exhibition space on the superstructure and a mini-kitchen for the artist in residence underneath. The colors and aesthetics of the old dredger spaces have remained authentic, while the new spaces are dominated by a monochromatic minimalist style. The main design accents are the dredger itself, the plants, and the display of artwork.

物品的位置是立陶宛最大的河流,但船停泊在考纳斯区,更确切地说,是停泊在Zapyškis,而不是在城市中心。参观者被邀请回望这条河流,骑自行车从城市来到这里,并将文化体验的地图从城市延伸到该区。

The location of the object is Lithuania’s largest river, but the ship is moored in the Kaunas district, more specifically in Zapyškis, and not in the city center. Visitors are invited to look back at the river, to come here from the city by bicycle, and to extend the map of cultural experiences from the city to the district.

这个物体是一个事件。它是一个场景设计,一个戏剧表演,以及一个文化和创意现象。行动展开的平台是一个当地的工业机器—疏浚Nemunas河的挖泥船。这艘船的功能设计是原创的,在这个对象中,它变成了博物馆的展品,而它的挖掘桶–变成了植物盆。新的上层建筑在设计上是集装箱式的,并享有一个原始的破碎几何形状。这艘船的野兽唤醒了人们的想象力,提出了问题,并邀请你停下来,过来看看,好奇和体验。

This object is an event. It is a scenography, a theatrical performance, and a cultural and creative phenomenon. The platform on which the action unfolds is a local industrial machine – a dredger that dredged the Nemunas River. The ship is original in its functional design, which in this object is turned into a museum exhibit, and its digging buckets – into plant pots. The new superstructure is container-type in its design and enjoys an original broken geometry. This beast of a ship awakens the imagination, raises questions, and invites you to stop, come by, wonder and experience.
