传说中,哈丁父子的风车在18世纪时在卡姆登和费城之间的一个曾经存在的岛上运营,被埋在卡姆登地下。在退潮时,从现在的库珀斯-波因特公园出发的沙洲形成了一条直接通往该岛的陆地通道,对运输货物至关重要,帮助卡姆登首先成为一个重要的枢纽。卡姆登充斥着失落的历史。

Legend tells that Harding and Son’s Windmill, operating during the 18th-century on a once-existing island between Camden and Philadelphia, is buried under Camden. During low tide, a sandbar from what is now Coopers Poynt Park formed a land passage directly to the island critical for transporting goods, helping first make Camden a vital hub. Camden abounds with lost history.

RCA维克多公司录制了20世纪的古典和爵士乐大师;1971年,其库珀街仓库中的许多原始黑胶唱片连同存放它们的建筑一起被丢弃在海岸线上。通过Turntable,被丢弃的东西被发掘出来,重新考虑。在Coopers Poynt公园,一个风力发电的灯塔成为海岸线的焦点。利用数以千计被切割的两升苏打水瓶所捕获的风能,一个圆柱体在一圈脚手架上旋转着。在里面,一个由废弃塑料组成的轻质圆顶,向天空开放的椭圆,形成了一个思考卡姆登历史周期和未来潜在能源的空间。

RCA Victor recorded the 20th-century classical and jazz greats; many original pieces of vinyl in its Cooper Street warehouse were dumped at the shoreline in 1971, along with the building which housed them. With Turntable, the discarded is unearthed, reconsidered. At Coopers Poynt Park, a wind-powered beacon becomes a shoreline focal point. Using wind energy captured by thousands of cut two-liter soda bottles, a cylinder spins above a ring of scaffolding. Inside, a lightweight dome of discarded plastics, with oculus open to the sky, forms a space to contemplate the cycles of Camden’s history and potential energy ahead.

转盘 “是 “新视野 “的一部分,它将把卡姆登公共交通走廊上的六个高度可见的空间从用于非法倾倒的眼中钉变成多功能的社区论坛。这些改造后的空间将举办动态的临时艺术装置和创意节目,为每天穿越卡姆登的65,000多人和其77,000名居民提供新的视野。

Turntable is part of A New View, which will transform six highly visible spaces along Camden’s public transportation corridors from eyesores used for illegal dumping into multi-purpose community forums. These converted spaces will host dynamic temporary art installations and creative programming that will provide a new view to the more than 65,000 people who travel through Camden daily and its 77,000 residents.
