洛杉矶Trompos
2015年4月24日，海伊艺术博物馆在Woodruff艺术中心的Carroll Slater Sifly广场上展示了由墨西哥当代设计师Hector Esrawe和Ignacio Cadena设计的第二个大型互动设计装置。这个特定场地的作品名为Los Trompos(旋转的陀螺)，延续了多年的倡议，激活户外空间，并在进入伍德拉夫艺术中心校园时吸引游客进行有意义的艺术体验(博物馆是该中心的合作伙伴)。Los Trompos在博物馆外创造了一个目的地，顾客可以在这里享受娱乐、社交、表演、艺术创作活动以及与当地合作机构共同组织的特别活动。
作为社区参与和规划的空白画布，Los Trompos从旋转陀螺的形式中获得灵感，这是一种受世界各地儿童欢迎的玩具。该项目有30多个三维的，比生活更大的各种颜色和形状的顶部，安装在整个广场。每个顶部的彩色表面部分是由墨西哥工匠以传统风格编织的织物创造的。除了在Sifly广场上安装顶部外，High还与Midtown Alliance合作，将这个互动设计装置从Woodruff艺术中心校园带到中城的街道上。整个地区规划了七个顶部位置。由装饰艺术与设计策展人萨拉·施莱宁(Sarah Schleuning)和埃莉诺·麦克唐纳·斯托扎(Eleanor McDonald Storza)教育总监弗吉尼亚·希勒(Virginia Shearer)共同策划。
Los Trompos
On April 24, 2015, the High Museum of Art, unveiled the second large-scale, interactive design installation by contemporary mexican designers Hector Esrawe and Ignacio Cadena on The Woodruff Arts Center’s Carroll Slater Sifly Piazza. The site-specific work, titled Los Trompos (The Spinning Tops), continued to multiyear initiative to activate the outdoor space and engage visitors in a meaningful art experience upon entering the campus of The Woodruff Arts Center (of which the Museum is a partner). Los Trompos created a destination outside the Museum where patrons could enjoy recreation, social interaction, performances, art-making activities and special events co-organized with local partner institutions.
As a blank canvas for community engagement and programming, Los Trompos drew its inspiration from the form of a spinning top, a popular toy with children around the world. The project featured more than 30 three-dimensional, larger than life tops in a variety of colors and shapes, which were installed throughout the piazza. The colorful surfaces of each top were created in part by fabric woven in a traditional style by mexican artisans. In addition to installing the tops on the Sifly Piazza, the High partnered with Midtown Alliance to bring this interactive design installation from The Woodruff Arts Center campus to the streets of Midtown. Seven locations for the tops were planned throughout the district. Co-curated by Sarah Schleuning, curator of decorative arts and design, and Virginia Shearer, the Eleanor McDonald Storza director of education.
