2025年科切拉艺术计划丨Public Art Company（PAC）等多位艺术家

在2025年科切拉山谷音乐与艺术节（Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival）上，Public Art Company（简称PAC）将呈现一场充满动感的艺术盛宴。本届艺术委托作品迎风摇曳、光影绽放，色彩在流转中消融——雕塑作品仿若介于显现与消逝之间。此次艺术计划由PAC策展人拉菲·莱勒（Raffi Lehrer）与Goldenvoice艺术总监保罗·克莱门特（Paul Clemente）携手策划，邀请了多位探索运动、幻象与无常主题的艺术家，将整个艺术节现场打造成一个鲜活呼吸的空间体验。

For The Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival 2025, Public Art Company (PAC) presents an art program where nothing stays still. This year’s commissions introduce works that ripple in the wind, bloom with light, and dissolve into shifting color—sculptures that seem to hover between presence and disappearance. Curated by PAC’s Raffi Lehrer in collaboration with Goldenvoice Art Director Paul Clemente, the program brings together artists whose work explores movement, illusion, and impermanence, turning the festival landscape into a living, breathing experience.

2025年的艺术计划在“失重与引力”“幻象与真实”“机械与有机”之间勾勒出一条弧线。每件作品都在节日的广袤场地中展开，调动身体感知、沙漠光影与日节律动的交织共鸣。

The 2025 Art Program traces an arc between weightlessness and gravity, illusion and presence, the mechanical and the organic. Each installation unfolds across the festival’s expanse, engaging the body, the desert light, and the shifting rhythms of the day.

Isabel + Helen 的作品《Take Flight》以一座高达60英尺的动态雕塑重新诠释风力驱动的运动装置。它象征着发明精神与冒险意识，与科切拉山谷的环境与风息呼应。电动涡轮有节奏地旋转，营造出令人陶醉的运动与光影交织之景。白日之下，它宛若沉静的雕塑；夜幕降临后，则转化为迷幻炫目的光图案，映射出沙漠不断变幻的能量。

Take Flight by Isabel + Helen reimagines wind generated movement in a 60-foot kinetic sculpture. It embodies a spirit of inventorship and adventure, responding to the environment and winds of the Coachella Valley. Its motorized turbines spin rhythmically, creating a mesmerising interplay of motion and light. By day, the structure offers a serene presence; a complex structure of simple yet hypnotic motion, by night, it transforms into luminous psychedelic patterns, reflecting the desert’s ever-changing energy.

在《Le Grand Bouquet》中，艺术团体 Uchronia 想象了一个花朵永不凋谢、怀旧情感重新绽放的世界。一束束柔光四溢的充气花朵如星辰般升起，在沙漠背景前温柔地发光。白日，它是一个超现实的阳光花园；夜晚，它变作一片漂浮在现实边缘的光幻海市蜃楼。在这些巨型花瓣下，观众可以结伴聚集、乘凉小憩，仿佛置身一场转瞬即逝的梦幻春日。

In Le Grand Bouquet, Uchronia imagines a landscape where flowers do not wilt, and nostalgia blooms anew. A constellation of luminous, inflatable flowers stretches toward the sky, each softly glowing against the desert backdrop. As day turns to night, Le Grand Bouquet oscillates between two states—a surreal garden bathed in sun and an illuminated mirage that hovers just at the edge of reality. Beneath its oversized petals, festivalgoers find spaces of gathering, shade, and reverie, as though caught in a fleeting, dreamlike springtime.

Stephanie Lin 的《Taffy》则将建筑化为氛围。七根高耸圆柱被波纹状的网面所包裹，随风起伏，其半透明的表面创造出流动的莫尔条纹，忽隐忽现，难以捉摸。《Taffy》游走于物质与无常之间——坚固却通透，挺拔却柔和，短暂却宏伟。其色彩灵感来源于沙漠现代主义，随着日光变幻时隐时现。圆形长椅环绕其下，观众可坐于其间，仿佛身处一场海市蜃楼中。

Taffy by Stephanie Lin dissolves architecture into atmosphere. Seven towering cylinders, veiled in scalloped mesh, rise and ripple with the wind, their translucent surfaces creating shifting moiré patterns that flicker in and out of visibility. Taffy exists at the intersection of materiality and impermanence—solid but transparent, rigid but soft, ephemeral yet monumental. Its colors, drawn from midcentury desert modernism, mutate with the changing light, fading and intensifying as the sun moves across the sky. Beneath them, curved benches offer festivalgoers a place to slow down, as though sitting inside a mirage.

PAC创始人、科切拉艺术项目策展顾问拉菲·莱勒表示：“科切拉的艺术存在于一种极致环境之中——光与影、动与静、短暂与宏大。这些装置与沙漠产生对话，放大它的节奏、幻景与瞬息之美。每件作品都提出了不同的设问：一台永远未能真正飞翔的机器、一朵永远不凋谢的花、一座永远静不下来的建筑。我们希望通过这套艺术计划，不只是让人‘观看’，而是‘参与、激活并沉浸在这场节日歌剧中’。”

“Art at Coachella exists in an environment of extremes—light and shadow, movement and stillness, the fleeting and the monumental,” said Raffi Lehrer, founder of Public Art Company and Curatorial Advisor for Coachella’s art program. “These installations are in dialogue with the desert itself, amplifying its rhythms, its mirages, and its fleeting moments. Each work offers a different proposition: a machine that never quite flies, a flower that never quite wilts, a building that never quite stands still. This is an art program that asks us not just to look, but to inhabit, activate, and embrace the beautiful opera of the festival experience.”

PAC对科切拉艺术项目的策展方式不断突破大型装置在节庆场景中的功能界限。这些作品提供了全新的空间观念、参与方式与想象力的共享体验，使科切拉的艺术魅力如同音乐本身一样变革性十足。

Public Art Company’s approach to curating Coachella’s art program continues to push the boundaries of how large-scale installations function within the festival landscape. These works offer new perspectives on space, participation, and shared imagination, ensuring that the Coachella art experience remains as transformative as the music itself.

科切拉艺术项目的历史、流程与愿景

Coachella Art Program History, Process + Vision

自1999年创办以来，科切拉始终是一场融合音乐与艺术的节庆活动。但自2016年起，艺术项目形成了如今的跨学科形态，精简了装置数量，并将大部分创作环节转移至内部团队完成，现场搭建。艺术总监保罗·克莱门特与一支由本地木匠、金属工匠、画师与装配人员组成的团队携手合作，使得艺术装置逐步实现如今标志性的建筑规模，并在过去7届中广为人知。

在策展方面，艺术项目的甄选标准始终围绕着“打造定义节日场景的地标性作品，营造独特场域感”。PAC团队每年寻找具有大胆美学、直觉性尺度理解力、以及能够通过材质、色彩与形态激发强烈情感共鸣的艺术家。因此，项目常常吸引建筑师与设计师参与，他们对尺度、结构与功能性的深入理解为创意突破提供了技术保障。在面对庞大的观众规模与沙漠强风条件时，装置不仅要视觉震撼，更要结构可靠。

Coachella has been an arts and music festival since its inception in 1999. However, the art program reached its current multi-disciplinary form in 2016, when the team reduced the number of installations significantly and brought most of the production of these works in-house and on-site. Under Paul Clemente’s leadership, along with a crew of talented local carpenters, metalworkers, painters and riggers, this approach to fabrication has allowed the Art Program to achieve the architectural scale that the program has become known for the past 7 cycles.

On the curatorial side, the program’s selection process is guided by a commitment to creating iconic landmarks that define the festival landscape and foster a sense of place. Each year, Lehrer and Public Art Company’s team look for artists who have a bold aesthetic, an intuitive understanding of scale and elevations, and a knack for evoking visceral emotional responses through material, color, and form. Oftentimes this means working with architects and designers as well as artists, due to their deep understanding of scale, structure, and functionality. Coachella installations must be both visually striking and structurally sound, given the large crowds and windy desert conditions. Designers and architects often have experience working at this scale and bring technical expertise that allows the team to push creative boundaries.

莱勒表示：“我们作为策展人，认为自己的角色应当回应科切拉跨流派的精神——正如音乐项目包罗多样风格，我们也力图呈现来自雕塑、数字艺术、实验设计到空间探索等各类艺术形式。通过跨学科融合，我们确保艺术项目始终充满活力、前瞻性，并独属科切拉。”

Says Lehrer, “We see our role as curators as mirroring the multi-genre spirit of Coachella itself—just as the music curation spans an eclectic mix of styles, we aim to represent a diverse range of artistic practices, from sculptors to digital artists, from experimental designers to architects pushing the boundaries of spatial experience. By blending disciplines, we ensure that the festival’s art program remains dynamic, forward-thinking, and uniquely Coachella.”

部分作品偏重雕塑，部分更具建筑感，还有些作品带有互动性与动态元素，共同构成节日的沉浸式氛围。更重要的是，所有作品都为科切拉场地量身打造，项目开发通常需耗时两至三年，艺术家与莱勒及克莱门特团队全程密切协作。节日现场的规模与互动需求要求艺术家必须具备协作精神与针对性设计思维，充分应对临时装置在高强度环境中的耐久性与实用性挑战。

Some installations are highly sculptural, others architectural, while some embrace interactive or kinetic elements—all contributing to the eclectic and immersive nature of the festival. Importantly, all projects are conceived specifically for Coachella’s site, and each installation is passionately developed over the course of as long as 2-3 years, in close collaboration with Lehrer and Clemente every step of the way. The festival’s scale and audience interaction requires artists to be collaborative and specific, in order to think through the unique challenges

of temporary installation within an environment that demands high durability and functionality.
