伦敦的印刷艺术家Fandangoe Kid [Annie Nicholson]宣布她最新的公共艺术装置 "Fandangoe SKIP"，与SKIP画廊、The Loss Project和Caukin Studio合作。Fandangoe Kid是一位印刷艺术家，她为公共领域制作了大型的、以叙事为导向的作品。她的作品试图探索人类的普遍经验，强调行动主义的紧迫性，并打破围绕心理健康、悲伤、损失、创伤和性别构建的对话。
London based print artist Fandangoe Kid [Annie Nicholson] announces her latest public art installation The ‘Fandangoe SKIP’ in collaboration with SKIP Gallery, The Loss Project and Caukin Studio. Fandangoe Kid is a print artist who makes large-scale, narrative-driven pieces for the public realm. Her work seeks to explore universal human experiences, highlight the urgency of activism, and disrupt the conversation around mental health, grief, loss, trauma, and gender constructs.
当谈到这个互动装置时，尼科尔森反映。
"Fandangoe SKIP NYC是一个在许多方面都有深刻意义的装置。就个人而言，它标志着我在东河的一次事故中失去了大部分心爱的家人11周年，这一悲剧促使我在实践中探索生存模式、个人和集体的悲伤机制以及当涉及到导航创伤时人类状况的复杂性。一生的工作。我希望通过The Fandangoe SKIP，与优秀的SKIP画廊、Caukin和The Loss Project的惊人合作，我们能够接触到整个城市的观众，并为这种永恒和复杂的对话创造一个新的空间来展开，没有处方或议程。我亲身体会到，拥有负责任的渠道来培养和维护我们个人和集体的心理健康是多么重要。我们非常荣幸地将其带到纽约并在布鲁克菲尔德广场展示。"
When speaking about the interactive installation, Nicholson reflects,
“The Fandangoe SKIP NYC is a deeply meaningful installation on many levels. Personally, it marks the 11-year anniversary of the loss of much of my beloved family in an accident in the East River, a tragedy which prompted my practice to explore modes of survival, individual and collective grief mechanisms and the complexities of the human condition when it comes to navigating trauma. A life’s work. It is my hope that with The Fandangoe SKIP, an amazing collaboration with the excellent SKIP Gallery, Caukin and The Loss Project, we are able to reach audiences across the city and create a new space for this eternal and complex dialogue to unfold, without prescription or agenda. I know first-hand how important it is to have responsible outlets to nurture and maintain our individual and collective mental health. We are so honored to bring this to New York and showcase at Brookfield Place.”
Fandangoe Kid的作品是由她自己在2011年失去家庭成员后的故事驱动的。她的实践受到启发，希望创造一个平台，围绕悲伤这个仍然禁忌的话题进行公开对话。她把自己的家庭描述为一个大人物的大熔炉，她一直对大视觉故事感兴趣。尼科尔森相信每个人都在寻求联系，并创建了这个装置，为人们提供一个空间来分享他们的故事，并消除与损失和悲伤相关的耻辱。
Fandangoe Kid’s work is driven by her own story following the loss of family members in 2011. Her practice is inspired by the desire to create a platform for open dialogue around the still taboo subject of grief. Describing her family as a melting pot of big characters, she has always been interested in big visual storytelling. Nicholson believes everyone seeks connection and created the installation to provide a space for people to share their stories, and decimate the stigmas associated with loss and grief.
这个突出的亭子将与CAUKIN工作室合作，用可持续材料制成，CAUKIN工作室是一家通过建筑创造影响的社会企业。
The Fandangoe Skip *on tour* 提供了一个全新的空间，为冰激凌和心理健康重新使用了美国的垃圾箱。CAUKIN设计并建造了一个创新的社区空间，容纳了由The Loss Project策划的多种产品、研讨会和讲座。这个空间允许在一个半私密的环境中进行亲密的小组研讨会和会谈，并配有大气的灯光和声音，背景是布鲁克菲尔德广场和世界贸易中心。
The stand-out kiosk will be made of sustainable materials in collaboration with CAUKIN Studio, a social enterprise that creates impact through architecture.
The Fandangoe Skip *on tour* offers a brand-new space, reappropriating the American dumpster for ice cream and mental health. CAUKIN have designed and built an innovative community space which accommodates multiple offerings, workshops, and talks that make up the programme, curated by The Loss Project. The space allows for intimate group workshops and talks in a semiprivate environment, complete with atmospheric lighting and sound, with the backdrop of Brookfield Place and the World Trade Center.
与它的前身--垃圾箱相比，垃圾箱提供了近三倍的空间，艺术家和设计团队能够创造一个更加内向的设计，以便在一个半私密、半公共的环境中进行研讨。其形式和布局分为两个主要区域；较大的开放式长椅和内部房间--两者都被设计用来举办不同类型的心理健康研讨会。与大多数临时建筑一样，我们没有使用定制的材料，而是决定选择标准化的木材产品和简单的接头，让突出的色彩方案和精心考虑的形式创造出艺术品。
With the dumpster providing nearly three times the amount of space in comparison to its predecessor - the skip, the artist and design team were able to create a more inward facing design, to allow for workshops in a semi-private, semi-public setting. The form and layout is split into two main areas; the larger open sided bench seating, and the internal room – both designed to host different kinds of mental health workshops. As with most temporary structures, rather than using bespoke materials, instead the decision was reached to opt for standardised timber products and simple joints to let the stand-out colour scheme and carefully considered form create the artwork.
CAUKIN工作室在一份关于他们与[Annie Nicholson]继续合作的声明中阐述了。
"我们很高兴开始Fandangoe SKIP的下一个阶段，在大洋彼岸的纽约市进行。在这样一个有影响力的项目上，与这样了不起的合作者一起工作，对我们来说是一个梦想。该项目使我们能够为我们的实践发展一个新的创意部门，一个更有艺术焦点的部门。看到心理健康项目与结构和设计如此完美地结合在一起，我们很有成就感。从物理意义上讲，这可能是一个小项目，但研讨会和资源将产生更广泛的反响和连锁效应，使这一举措非常值得。"
In a statement on their continued partnership with [Annie Nicholson], CAUKIN Studio elaborates,
“We’re thrilled to embark on the next stage of the Fandangoe SKIP, across the pond in New York City. Working alongside such amazing collaborators, on such an impactful project, has been a dream for us. The project has allowed us to develop a new creative arm for our practice, one which has more of an arts focus. It's been so rewarding to see the mental health program come together and fit so well with the structure and design. It might be a small project in the physical sense of the word, but the wider repercussions and knock-on effects that the workshops and resources will have, make the initiative so worthwhile.”
SKIP画廊评论说。
"让艺术无处不在是SKIP画廊的最终目标，而我们与安妮对通常具有挑战性的主题所采取的扩张性和丰富多彩的方法有着如此强烈的协同作用。我们最新的尝试，Fandangoe SKIP通过冰激凌这一媒介探索悲伤，在该项目在伦敦获得成功后，我们非常兴奋地把它带到纽约。"
作为一个多学科的装置，Fandangoe SKIP旨在通过艺术来吸引和激发人们的兴趣，通过人类的共同经历来沟通，并通过深思熟虑的程序来拆解耻辱。损失项目创建了各种免费的心理健康讲习班，仔细考虑和探索心理健康、悲伤和损失的复杂性，以及帮助人们通过共享的联系和创造力探索他们的经验。
The Loss Project评论说。
"除了装置之外，这项合作旨在为社区和个人创造有影响力的遗产，真正改变我们的心理健康，不仅仅是几天，而是努力改变景观....。这是一次梦想的合作，它真正支撑着我们所代表的一切......即使在经历悲痛和损失时也能带来快乐"。
SKIP Gallery comments,
“Art everywhere for everyone is SKIP Gallery’s ultimate goal, and we have such a strong synergy with Annie’s expansive and colorful approach to often challenging subjects. Our latest venture, Fandangoe SKIP explores grief through the medium of ice cream, and after the success of the project in London, we are incredibly excited to bring it to New York.”
A multi-disciplinary installation, The Fandangoe SKIP is designed to intrigue and inspire via art, communicate via shared human experience, and disassemble stigma with thoughtful programming. The Loss Project has created varied and free mental health workshops which carefully consider and explore the complexities of mental health, grief and loss as well as helping people to explore their experiences through shared connection and creativity.
The Loss Project comments,
“Beyond the installation, this collaboration seeks to create impactful legacies for communities and individuals to really make a change to our mental health, not just for a few days, but to work towards changing the landscape…. It’s a collaboration of dreams and it truly underpins all we stand for…to bring joy even when experiencing grief and loss.”
