展会负责人序言和感谢信

近几年，正处在迅速发展中的并拥有悠久的历史和文化的中国成为了全世界关注的焦点。奥中两国更一直保持着经济和文化方面的近距离对话与交流。2001年我就有幸受命于联邦总理府，通过在中国上海艺术博物馆举办的奥地利当代建筑，艺术和设计展，展现奥地利当代艺术作品的概貌。应国务秘书福兰茨 莫拉克先生的要求，我将再次在中国两大新兴城市向更广大的观众展示奥地利的建筑艺术。建筑学一向在奥地利的文化生活中占据着举足轻重的地位，这次展览的主题：雕刻建筑作为建筑艺术的一个分支也在奥地利拥有悠久的传统。

自由三维空间成为空间建筑的标志。追溯这一现象的根源，人们会在一定程度上找到过去类似的流派，而它们更是留下了丰富的，百年流传的文化遗产，给与音乐齐名的建筑学留下的几笔强音。20世纪初奥地利的建筑师们吹响了现代主义的号角，作为建筑学的磨合发展，同时也响应了艺术的新动向。紧随着还有许多重要的建筑学的新视野和贡献。维也纳成为60年代除伦敦，东京和米兰意外的另一个新建筑学新视野的摇篮。雕像建筑（“Scuptural Architecture”）将在这次展出中从各个角度得到诠释。首先将在对于从中世纪歌特式，到巴洛克式以及早期现代主义，一直到处于引导潮流地位的当代建筑的回顾中寻找它的根源。

这一简短的以维也纳歌特式斯蒂芬大教堂为开端的历史背景回顾将作为主题的引子，随后则是巴洛克式的壮丽空间的范例，还提到了奥地利过去的建筑现代发展和最近的雕像建筑的范例。奥地利建筑艺术展（“Sculptural Architecture in Austria”）的主要部分是为数众多的当代建筑作品。五十多个建筑师及小组的作品，包括已完成的，竞赛作品以及还在设计中，都将通过照片，图纸，投影和四十多个模型得到展示。这次展出的作品中的一部分还是通过模型展示的新一代建筑师在一个特殊的领域一独户房屋（Einfamilienhaus）一的建设上的首度尝试。我的目的在于通过这个展览给中国的观众提供一个全面展示奥地利建筑艺术的既联系过去，又对未来发展有重要意义的主要方向的机会。在此我作为这次展览的负责人想要特别感谢国务秘书福兰茨 莫拉克先生将这个有趣的任务交给了我，同样也要感谢他在联邦总理府专门负责艺术事务的部门（Bundeskanzleramt Sektion ll－Kunstangelegenheiten）以及国务秘书处（Staatssekretariat）的同事。

This year, the whole world is focusing on China. This country with its vastly rich history and culture, is now entering into a exceedingly rapid phase of development. Austria and China are, at present, in the middle of an exciting dialogue. In addition to their economic relations, both nations are most interested in cultural exchange. In 2001, I had the opportunity to give an insight into the creation of contemporary art in our country, when l was commissioned by the Federal Chancellery to organize the exhibition, “Austrian Contemporary Art, Architecture, and Design” in the Shanghai Art Museum. The Secretary of State, Franz Morak, has now given me a second opportunity with his request to present positions of Austrian art to a broad public in two of China's booming cities. Architecture has played a significant role in Austria's cultural life for a long time. The subject of this exhibition is a special aspect of architecture, which also has a long tradition in this country:Sculptural Architecture.

A free three-dimensionality in the architecture of space makes its mark. This phenomenon has its roots, in a certain way, in similar streams of the past which belong to a rich, centuries-old, cultural heritage of a country standing for a strong statement of architecture (as well as its well--known musical one). Austria's architects heralded the start of Modernism, a revolution in the development of architecture alongside a new development of the arts. Further significant visions and contributions followed. In the 60s, Vienna -- along with London, Tokyo and Milan, was one of the hatcheries of new architectural visions. The phenomenon of “Sculptural Architecture” will be illuminated from different angles in this show beginning with its roots in the form of a historical retrospective from the Middle Ages (Gothic) to Baroque and the early Modernism, to the trend-setting contemporary architecture.

The short historical background -- beginning with the comments about the Gothic St Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna -leads us into the subject followed by examples of the spatial spleen-dour of Baroque, with reference to the modern movement, to the recent examples of “Sculptural architecture” from Austria's past. The main part of the exhibition “Sculptural Architecture in Austria” is dedicated to the numerous examples of contemporary architecture. Completed constructions, competition submissions, projects and visions of over 50 architects and teams are being exhibited using photos, drawings, projections and over 40 models. A part of this exhibition consists of work by a young generation of architects with a focus on single family houses which are very often their first commissions. A special model has been prepared for this presentation.The critical point for me, in the conception of this exhibition, was to give the Chinese public a comprehensive insight into the significant aspects of architecture from our country which has relevance in the past and will also play a significant role in the future. As the curator of this exhibition, I would like to express a special thanks to the Secretary of State, Franz Morak, for entrusting me with this fascinating task and to his colleagues in the Federal Chancellery Division ll for the Arts.

We have had valuable support in the form of loans of art from the following Austrian institutions:

Wien Museum, Vienna
Director Wolf gang Kos, Dr. Renata Kassal-Mikula
Austrian Frederick and Lillian Kiesler Private Foundation, Vienna,
Director Dr. Monika Pessler, Harald Krejci
Fritz Wotruba-Verein, Vienna
Gen. Dir. Dr. Wilfried Seipel, Gabriele St6ger
University of Applied Arts Vienna, Director Gerald Bast
Collections of the University of Applied Arts Vienna
Pro f. Patrick Werkner, Silvia Herkt und das
Institute of Archit9cture, Dean Pro f. Wolf D. Prix
MUMOK, Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig, Vienna
Director Edelbert KÖb, Dr. Wolfgang Drechsler
Dr. Ludwig Marxer Family Foundation, Vaduz

Federal Ministry for Foreign Affairs and the Art Division of the
Federal Chancellery lI/1.

Thanks to the institutions in China hosting this exhibition for
their kind hospitality;

The NAMOC-National Art Museum of China in Beijing and its
Director Fan Di'an and the Guangdong Museum of Art,
Guangzhou and its Director Wang Huangsheng.

Above all, however, there are numerous architects and constructors
who have contributed to this exhibition with their works and loans.
-I-hanks also to Marta Schreieck for her support of Roland Rainer's
contribution. We also thank all the colleagues in Vienna who
have helped with the exhibition, for their enthusiasm, efficiency
and reliability.
-I-hanks also to the Anton Pustet Publishing House whose employees
and translators have managed the production of this catalogue.
l hope that this further cultural exchange initiative between
Austria and China will provide the public with great insight and
stimulation.
