Quantity over quality, artiface over Art
Cotswold Sculpture Park的点评
点评:Yes, there are a few fantastical and stunning pieces to view and some nice settings to wander, but sadly, these are in the minority.
There appears to be no sense of quality curation or scale here. You'll mostly be looking at small, over priced, poorly interpreted, graduate quality work, before finding anything that stops you in your tracks.
Not sure who puts this collection together or quality controls submissions, but they really need to give more thought to creating stimulating journeys for visitors rather than seemingly throwing work together without theme or order. Ultimately this results in a frustrating walk on crumbling gravel pathways through what feels like a random sub-par outdoor art salesroom charges £10 per person for admission
If you are in the market for the real thing (and can do without the Cotswold's parvenu) make the effort to travel to the (free to visit) Messums art complex in Tisbury instead.
翻译:没错,这里确实有几件极富奇幻色彩且令人惊叹的作品可供欣赏,也有一些不错的场景可以漫步,但遗憾的是,这类作品和场景只占少数。
整个展览似乎缺乏高质量的筛选机制与整体规划。你大多看到的都是些尺寸较小、定价偏高、诠释拙劣且仅达到毕业生水准的作品,真正能让你驻足欣赏的精品则少之又少。
我实在不清楚是谁负责策划这个展览,又由谁来审核参展作品。不过,他们真的需要多花些心思来为游客打造富有吸引力的体验流程,而不是毫无主题、毫无条理地拼凑各项内容。最终,这只会让你在摇摇欲坠的碎石小径上艰难行走,周围仿佛是一个杂乱无章、品质低劣的户外艺术品销售处——而入场费竟要每人10英镑。
如果你真心想欣赏真正的艺术品(且不介意避开那些装腔作势的“科茨沃尔德暴发户”),不妨花点时间前往蒂斯伯里的Messums艺术中心,那里免费开放哦。
