当代艺术的具体画布。地点。Oever “是荷兰语，意思是岸边或银行。具体的那种。这个新的艺术画廊位于奥斯坦德的东岸港口区，这是比利时海岸上唯一真正的城市。俗称 “布鲁塞尔海滩”，在历史上与比利时的首都有联系。布鲁塞尔的贵族们喜欢到那里去享受海边的度假生活。今天，你仍然可以感受到曾经是一个富裕城市的褪色的光辉。这座城市是创意者的天堂，甚至有自己的街头艺术节。对于一个有自己的内部咖啡店和商店概念的当代艺术画廊来说，这是一个合适的地点。

A concrete canvas for contemporary art. Location. ‘Oever’ is Dutch for shore or bank. The concrete kind. This new art gallery is located in the East Bank harbor area of Ostend, the only genuine city on the Belgian coast. Popularly called ‘Bruxelles plage’, it was historically linked to the capital of Belgium. The beau monde of Brussels loved traveling there for a seaside getaway. Today you still feel the faded glory of what once was a rich city. The city is a haven for creatives and even has its own street art festival. A fitting location for a contemporary art gallery with its own in-house coffee shop and store concept.

这个故事。Oever的创始人让5AM设计工作室全权负责空间设计。与涂鸦、街头和城市艺术的紧密联系构成了室内概念的基础。挑战在于保持画廊空间的创造性实验，一方面激励新一代的艺术家，同时也为好奇的路人在里面喝咖啡或看书时散发诱人的能量。

The story. The founders of Oever gave 5AM design studio carte blanche for the spatial design. The strong link with graffiti, street, and urban art formed the basis for the interior concept. The challenge consisted in keeping the gallery space for creative experiment, inspiring a new generation of artists on the one hand, but also radiating inviting energy for curious passers-by wandering inside for a coffee or a book.

概念。5AM决定将事情翻转过来，在画廊内以极简的方式重新创造典型的街头艺术家的画布–混凝土丛林。单色的灰色调是指城市的英雄色彩和粗糙程度。对比鲜明的光滑和粗糙的城市纹理被改变了。城市艺术经常作为文化评论发挥作用，经常注入大胆的形状和颜色，流行艺术的灵感，和可识别的卡通人物，结合标志性的清醒的幽默。让5AM以一种微妙但不可否认的方式来整合这些元素。

Concept. 5AM decided to flip things around and recreated the typical street artist’s canvas, the concrete jungle, in a minimal, stripped-down version inside the gallery. The monochrome gray palette refers to the city’s hero color and roughness. Contrasting smooth and rough city textures are altered. Urban art often functions as cultural commentary, regularly infused with bold shapes and colors, pop-art inspiration, and recognizable cartoon characters, combined with a signature streak of sobering humor. Leave it to 5AM to integrate these elements in a subtle yet undeniable way.

空间。灰色的整体使用突出了空间的纯净和平静的功能。原始混凝土、粗糙灰泥、镜子、拉丝铝和高光泽度的粗体展示物的材料组合，以一种微妙的方式提供了对比和指导。Oever有个性，但不会抢走展示的艺术家们的风头。在厕所和标志性的小胡子粗体椅中使用海蓝色，增加了一丝标志性的色彩。

Space. The overall use of gray highlights the pure and calming function of the space. The material mix of raw concrete, rough stucco, mirror, brushed aluminum, and high-gloss bold-shaped display objects offers contrast and guidance in a subtle way. Oever has personality but doesn’t steal the thunder of the artists on display. A hint of signature color was added by the use of aquamarine blue in the toilet and in the iconic Moustache Bold chairs.

流程。开放式空间可以通过使用一个智能的独立系统来划分为不同的区域，该系统具有充分的灵活性，可以随时随地轻松地进行组装或扩展，而不需要工具。可以相应地添加不同尺寸和颜色的展示元素和背景。”我们通过使用一个灵活的系统和为每项活动单独服务的焦点来创造区域。整体的灰色外壳和有质感的材料组合提供了一个完整的体验。功能性可以而且应该是美丽的。” 5AM设计师Amber Feijen说。

Flow. The open-plan space can be divided into different zones by using a smart freestanding system that offers full flexibility and can easily be assembled or expanded whenever and wherever without the need for tools. Display elements and backgrounds in different sizes and colors can be added accordingly. “We created zones by using a flexible system and focal points that serve each activity individually. The overall gray shell and textured material mix provide a full experience. Functionality can and should be beautiful.” states 5AM designer Amber Feijen.
