【大戰荷馬 Homer300回】（Francesco Careri）的名著《步行景觀：作為審美實踐的行走》將「行走」視為一種創造空間與形塑景觀的美學行為。Robert Smithson’s "suburban odyssey" 羅伯特史密森1938~1973的「郊區之旅」指的是他著名的 1967 年 9 月從曼哈頓到新澤西州帕塞克的巴士之旅。

 

羅伯特史密森的「郊區之旅」指的是他著名的 1967 年 9 月從曼哈頓到新澤西州帕塞克的巴士之旅。這次充滿諷刺意味的旅行促成了他那篇開創性的攝影散文《帕塞克的紀念碑》，該散文於1967年發表在《藝術論壇》雜誌上。在這篇散文中，他將橋樑、沙箱紀念碑和排水管道等平凡的工業基礎設施，描繪成現代社會中充滿諷刺的廢墟和紀念碑。旅程與概念框架：1967年的一個星期六，史密森帶著幾本科幻小說登上了一輛巴士，將新澤西州這個平淡無奇的郊區視為一片充滿異國風情的廢墟和衰敗景觀。熵：這次旅行大大加深了他對熵的藝術迷戀，城市和工業系統正逐漸走向宇宙的枯竭和人造沙漠。平凡的紀念碑：他沒有拍攝傳統的歷史雕塑，而是記錄了建築工地、抽水機和橋樑，並將它們視為並非紀念過去的紀念碑，而是以相反的方式呈現的未來主義廢墟。一段短片重現了藝術家傳奇的旅程。 紐澤西州:


Robert Smithson’s "suburban odyssey" refers to his famous September 1967 bus trip from Manhattan to his hometown of Passaic, New Jersey. This ironic excursion resulted in his seminal photo-essay "The Monuments of Passaic," published in Artforum in 1967, where he framed mundane industrial infrastructure—like bridges, sandbox monuments, and drainage pipes—as the ironic ruins and monuments of the modern age. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
The Journey and Conceptual Framework
  • The Trip: Smithson boarded a bus on a Saturday in 1967 with a copy of science-fiction paperbacks, treating the banal New Jersey suburb as an exotic landscape of ruin and decay. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
  • Entropy: The excursion deeply advanced his artistic fascination with entropy, or the idea that urban and industrial systems are slowly winding down into cosmic exhaustion and artificial deserts. [1, 2]
  • Monuments of the Banal: Instead of traditional historical sculptures, he documented construction sites, pumping derricks, and bridges, declaring them monuments that do not commemorate the past, but instead act as futuristic ruins in reverse. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Robert Smithson (January 2, 1938 – July 20, 1973) was an American artist known for sculpture and land art who often used drawing and photography in relation to the spatial arts. His work has been internationally exhibited in galleries and museums and is held in public collections. He was one of the founders of the land art movement whose best known work is the Spiral Jetty (1970).



Spiral Jetty in June 2013

In 2017 the Holt/Smithson Foundation was founded to preserve, through public service, the investigative spirit of the two artists who "developed innovative methods of exploring our relationship with the planet, and expanded the limits of artistic practice." The goal of the foundation is to "increase awareness of both artists' creative legacies".[37]
