Outside the National Stadium is a “car” that seems to be covered with a sports track. However, this is not an actual car but rather a public art called “Let’s go!” developed by German art group Inges Idee.
Inges Idee is exceptionally gifted at combining spatial environment, social and human culture, and urban characteristics to present them in a whimsical and humorous manner. Brightly colored illustrations are utilized to transform the function-oriented environment into an engaging setting. Inges Idee impeccably integrates the architectural style and spirit of the National Stadium into the piece by incorporating various aspects of the stadium (e.g., linear pattens, the color of its sports track, PU materials, and saddle-like structure) to exemplify an artist spirit that also complements the building.
國家體育場外水池畔有輛似以運動場跑道包覆的汽車,它是德國藝術團體英格斯‧伊第(Inges Idee)創作的公共藝術《向前走》。
Inges Idee的作品擅於結合空間環境、社會人文、城市特色,並以童趣、幽默、插畫及明亮的色彩風格呈現,讓原本理性化、功能化的空間基調變得詼諧有趣。這件作品將世運場館的建築風格和運動精神完美融入作品中,無論是線性紋路、跑道顏色、PU材質,皆與國家體育場功能呼應,建築體的馬鞍結構則反映到作品曲線,既體現藝術家所秉持的精神,也為體育場帶來畫龍點睛的趣味。
