Beukelsblauw RIP 安息吧，Beukelsblauw
很不幸，在trendbeheer得知Beukelsblauw已被拆除。Beukelsblauw是艺术家Florentijn Hofman的作品。他曾经把街道刷成黄颜色(street in yellow)，还作过大型的充气兔子(inflatable rabbits)。
Beukelsblauw是始于2004年的临时性城市艺术，从开始就注定了它只能在新的规划制定前短暂保存的命运。
Delfshaven 是一个在鹿特丹的自治区，邀请我对一排被遗弃和即将被拆除的建筑做一个计划。跟街坊的协议是这些建筑在还没被拆除或被重新计划以前将保持蓝色。这是在鹿特丹最不常见的房子，尽管它只是被涂上了蓝色，但是还是引起了很多人停下来拍照。这个重新被粉饰的在20世纪的第一年造好的建筑，人们开始重新地去认识和注意它，并且重新思考这个城市的人们在拆除其中得到了什么回报。
这个作品让人们用重新的角度去看待建筑，这些看上去好像玩具或模型的房子让人联想到了关于建筑“时尚”和城市里的移民统计等问题。
Title: Beukelsblue
Year: 2004
Location: Beukelsdijk 21- 39, Rotterdam
Format: 115 x 15 meters
Materials: latex emulsion paint, rolled on and the roof sprayed on with an airless machine
Assigned by: borough of Delfshaven
Executed by: Schildersbedrijf N&F Hijnen, Rotterdam
The borough of Delfshaven, Rotterdam, asked me to come up with a plan for a block of derelict buildings, which will eventually be demolished. The agreement with the neighbourhood is that the block will remain blue as long as there isn’t a new plan for the area. This was once one of the most unseen blocks of houses in Rotterdam, and by applying a layer of only 2 micron of blue paint onto it, it became Rotterdam’s most photographed one. By redecorating this block, which was built in the first years of the 20th century, people start looking again at what was and is there, and maybe think about what they will get in return.
It also puts in perspective blocks of houses as such, architectural 'fashions' and demographic processes like city migrations, by making those blocks look like toy houses or archetypal buildings on an architect's maquette.
