SEOUL, KOREA, SONGEUN Art and Cultural Foundation unveils its new building and inaugural exhibition program today, ahead of the public opening on 30 September. The new ST SONGEUN Building aspires to become a cultural anchor to invite the public in, expressing difference and openness despite, or rather because of, its hermetic street side. The sharp triangular form, which defines the building, is cut at the base to create the main visitor entrance to the lobby, garden and gallery spaces. A column wrapped in a LED screen supports the resulting overhang and acts as an attractive lantern to announce current exhibitions and display artistic content. The building’s urban presence is further brought down to a tactile human scale through the facade’s unique wood grain texture, inviting the eye and hand to explore its different qualities.
韩国首尔 SONGEUN 艺术文化基金会今天在 9 月 30 日公开开幕之前揭开了其新建筑和开幕展览计划的面纱。新的 ST SONGEUN 大楼立志成为一个文化锚，邀请公众参与，表达差异和开放，或者更确切地说，是因为其封闭的街道空间。建筑物的尖锐三角形形状在底部被打开，以创建大厅、花园和画廊空间的主要访客入口。一根包裹在 LED 屏幕中的柱子支撑着由此产生的艺术装置，并充当了一个有吸引力的明灯，用来宣布当前的展览和展示艺术内容。通过立面独特的木纹纹理，该建筑的城市存在被进一步降低到触觉的人类尺度，邀请眼睛和手去探索它的不同品质。

The first part of SONGEUN Art and Cultural Foundation’s opening program will feature a special exhibition planned in collaboration with HdM, titled Herzog & de Meuron. Exploring SongEun Art Space. As the title expresses, the building serves as the main exhibit; it is fundamental to the exhibition that architectural spaces are opened to the public for the first time. The architecture itself is experienced among documentation from its design and building process: the specific strategies, tools and methods from the initial conception in Basel to the physical realization in Seoul. The exhibition display follows the careful sequence of spaces and offers a stroll through indoor and outdoor areas, the galleries above and below ground. In anticipation of future possibilities, this exhibition explores the potential of hosting various artistic media in the building, from traditional hangings with paintings and photographs to newer and alternative formats such as video, projections, augmented reality, and even smell.
SONGEUN 艺术文化基金会开幕计划的第一部分将与 HdM 合作举办一个名为 Herzog & de Meuron 的特别展览。探索SONGEUN 艺术空间。正如标题所表达的，这座建筑是主要的展品；建筑空间首次向公众开放是展览的基础。建筑本身在其设计和建造过程的文档中得到了体验：从巴塞尔的最初概念到首尔的物理实现的具体策略、工具和方法。展览展示遵循仔细的空间顺序，并提供室内和室外区域以及地上和地下画廊的漫步。考虑到未来的可能性，本次展览探索了在建筑物中举办各种艺术媒体的潜力，从带有绘画和照片的传统悬挂到视频、投影、增强现实甚至气味等更新和替代方式。
The works of HdM and international artists with whom the architects have had long-standing collaborations, including Thomas Ruff and Rémy Zaugg, will offer viewers insight and perspective on themes and thought constructs fundamental to the perception, representation and realities of architecture, while the commissioned works by Korean artists who participated in the Foundation’s projects will present an opportunity to explore the old building before demolition and to introduce the spaces within the new office.
