玛格斯·哈里斯（Mags Harries）和拉约什·赫德（Lajos Heder）于 1990 年在马萨诸塞州剑桥市成立了哈里斯/赫德合作工作室（Harries/Heder Collaborative），此后他们合作完成了 30 多个大型公共艺术委托项目。我们分别来自艺术和建筑这两个不同的领域。玛格斯带来了她作为雕塑家、教师以及之前创作公共艺术的经验。拉约什除了是艺术家之外，还接受过建筑学训练，并参与过社区项目、城市设计、场地规划、建筑设计和施工工作。然而，我们的目标是一致的：通过艺术激活公共空间。对于每个项目，我们都会在设计和创意的开发过程中充分合作，利用各自不同的技能和专长。我们打造的公共空间不仅具有持续的实际用途，还具有强烈的象征意义。我们关注水、能源、交通以及其他将人们和社区联系起来的物质和性能元素。我们的作品获得了众多地方和国家级奖项的认可。我们把这一成功很大程度上归功于与社区成员、工程师、景观设计师、建筑师和其他艺术家的合作。

玛格斯·哈里斯的公共艺术项目获得了全国性的认可，并赢得了众多奖项。她善于观察那些像 DNA 一样能揭示一个地方重要信息的小事物。她通过惊喜和有时是幽默来为公共空间和社区注入活力。她早期的作品《阿萨罗顿》和《手套自行车》已成为波士顿地区的标志性作品。玛格斯经常使用景观材料进行设计，并对环境问题作出回应。她对水和城市规模的基础设施、路径和连接越来越感兴趣。她的许多临时项目都涉及社区参与和社会行动，包括：《查尔斯河的蜿蜒》、《光速》和《单腿桌》。

马格斯在波士顿美术博物馆学校教授雕塑、装置艺术和公共艺术课程。她是波士顿雕塑家画廊的成员。她的作品曾在国内外众多机构举办过个人展览。访问 www.magsharries.com 可查看更多马格斯·哈里斯的艺术作品。马格斯·哈里斯的简历。

拉约什·赫德（Lajos Heder）的职业生涯致力于设计和建造供社区活跃使用的公共空间。他认为艺术源自其发生的特定地点以及人们对阳光、水、性、食物、友谊和故事的共同兴趣，而非主要源自其他艺术。拉约什的优势在于对城市规模和活动的理解；从图纸中构想建筑空间；以及将艺术融入设计和建造过程。除了他的公共艺术作品，他还设计了许多市中心的步行计划以及 6 个已建成的艺术家居住/工作社区。他还曾为匈牙利首都布达佩斯的两项国际竞赛设计获奖作品：1989 年的新国家剧院和 1990 年的 1996 年世博会。

拉约什的研究成果和出版物包括为美国交通部编写的《交通美学：公共艺术与设计指南》一书，以及亚利桑那州图森市的艺术规划草案。自 1992 年以来，他一直是波士顿建筑师协会焦点团队的成员，致力于为波士顿地区制定新的公共交通和开发模式，并重新规划滨水区。他近期的公共艺术作品主要集中在与水相关的项目（亚利桑那瀑布的“水工厂”、水渠工的线）、土地开发（“时光飞逝”）、替代能源（“太阳花”——一个电动花园和太阳能光筏）以及城市公共空间的其他方面。他目前是公共艺术网络理事会的成员。

Mags Harries and Lajos Héder formed Harries/Héder Collaborative in Cambridge， MA in 1990 and have worked together on over 30 major public art commissions since then. We came to this collaboration from the different worlds of art and architecture. Mags brought her experience as a sculptor, teacher, and previous work creating public art. Lajos, besides being an artist, was trained as an architect and has worked on community projects, urban design, site planning, architecture, and construction. Our focus, however, is the same: to activate public space through art. For each project we collaborate fully in the development of our designs and ideas, drawing on our separate skills and areas of expertise. We create public places that have on-going practical use as well as strong metaphoric significance. We focus on water, energy, transportation and other physical and performance elements that connect people and communities. Our work has been recognized for many local and national awards. We attribute a large part of this success to partnership with community members, engineers, landscape architects, architects, and other artists.

Mags_Harries_Headshot copy bwMags Harries’ public art projects have received national recognition and have won many awards. She observes the small things that, like DNA, reveal all that is important to know about a place. She uses surprise and sometimes humor to energize public places and communities. Her early projects Asaroton and Glove Cycle have become icons of the Boston area. Mags frequently designs her work with landscape materials and responds to environmental issues. She has an increasing interest in water and city scale elements of infrastructure, pathways and connections. Many of her temporary projects involve community participation and social action, including: Winding Down the Charles, Speed of Light, and One Legged Table.

Mags teaches courses on sculpture, installation, and public art at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. She is a member of the Boston Sculptors Gallery. She has exhibited her work in numerous solo shows at national and international institutions. Visit www.magsharries.com to see more artwork by Mags Harries. Mags Harries’ Resume.

Lajos Héder has spent his career designing and building public places for active community use. He believes that art derives from the specific place where it happens and from common interests in sunlight, water, sex, food, friendship, and stories, not so much from other art. Lajos’ strengths are the understanding of urban scale and activity; visualizing architectural spaces from drawings; and fitting art into the process of design and construction. Besides his public artwork he has designed many downtown pedestrian plans and 6 completed artists’ live/work communities. He was also the designer of prize-winning entries for two international competitions in his native Budapest, Hungary: the new National Theater in 1989 and Expo ’96 in 1990.

Lajos’ research and publications include the book Aesthetics in Transportation a guide book for public art and design, prepared for US DOT, and a draft Art Plan for Tucson, AZ. Since 1992 he has been a member of the Boston Society of Architects Focus Teams setting new public transportation and development patterns in the Boston Region and re-planning the waterfront. His recent public art work has focused on water related projects (WaterWorks at Arizona Falls, Zanjero’s Line), land development (Terra Fugit), alternative energy (SunFlowers an Electric Garden and Solar Light Raft) and other aspects of urban public space. He currently serves on the Public Art Network Council. Lajos Héder’s Resume.
