Public Art

Standing tall in the National Stadium outdoor square is Message of Peace, Multidimensional Visual Communication 9 X 6 X 18, a piece comprising of nine colorful hexagonal pillars designed by world-renowned Israeli artist Yaacov Agam.
With nine columns, six sides, and 18 grids, viewers must walk around to see the artwork and create varying multi-dimensional visual changes. Agam once said that many works of art are flat and “frozen;” he is the first artist to incorporate the element of “time” in art. In Hebrew, the concept of present tense does not exist; instead, the language forms an endless flow of time and space. This religious philosophy deeply influences Agam’s creative thinking, inspiring him to create an art piece that requires viewers to move continuously and produce art that embodies both the elements of movement and time.

國家體育場戶外廣場矗立9根色彩繽紛的六角型柱體，這是享譽國際的以色列裔法籍藝術家亞科夫．亞剛(Yaacov Agam)在台灣的首件公共藝術《和平啟示—多維度視覺溝通9 X 6 X 18》。
本作品由9柱X6面X18格組成，觀賞這件作品需移動腳步，感受從正面、左至右、右至左觀看都會產生不同圖形的多維度視覺變化。藝術家曾表示，很多藝術作品都是平面、凍結的，他是第一個把「時間」因素加入藝術的創作者，由於希伯來語言沒有現代式，而是一種永無止境的時空觀，這套宗教哲理深深影響他的創作思維。在這件作品中不斷流動的視覺體驗，正巧妙體現了將「運動」和「時間」納入創作元素的成果。
