盛大启幕：苏州当代美术馆正式向公众开放
由 BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group、ARTS Group、VIA.inc 及水石设计的苏州当代美术馆现已正式向公众开放。展馆坐落于金鸡湖畔，建筑面积约6万平方米，由12座如村落般分布的展亭组成，并汇聚于一片连续、如丝带般起伏的屋顶之下。作为 BIG 首座落成的美术馆项目，苏州当代美术馆在举办一系列预热活动展览后正式启幕，成为苏州当代艺术、设计与公共生活的全新场所；”BIG：”唯物主义””展览亦将继续在馆内展出。
The 60,000 m² Suzhou Museum of Contemporary Art, designed by BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group, ARTS Group, VIA.inc and SHUISHI as a village of 12 pavilions beneath a continuous, ribbon-like roof, is now officially open to the public on the shores of Jinji Lake. Marking BIG’s first completed art museum, the project opens following a series of preview exhibitions as a new venue for contemporary art, design, and public life in Suzhou, with BIG’s Materialism exhibition remaining on view.

展馆的设计灵感源自苏州园林传统，特别是对”廊”——一条在景观中勾画路径的有顶连廊——的全新解读。它被转译为一套相互连通的展览空间网络：一条连续动线穿行于各个展亭之间，串联展厅、聚集空间与文化场所；参观者亦可沿着不同展览之间较小的路径，自由展开探索。各展亭通过地上连桥与地下通道相连，形成一组可随展览内容与季节变化灵活调整的空间序列。
▼概念生成，concept generation
Rooted in the tradition of Suzhou’s gardens, the museum reimagines the lang 廊, the covered corridor that traces a path through a landscape, as a network of exhibition spaces. A continuous route threads through the museum’s pavilions, connecting galleries, gathering spaces, and cultural venues while allowing visitors to branch off along smaller paths between exhibitions. Linked by bridges and tunnels above and below ground, the museum offers a flexible sequence of spaces shaped by changing exhibitions and seasons.

在正式开放前，苏州当代美术馆已通过一系列预展迎接访客，其中包括现仍在馆内展出的” BIG：”唯物主义””展览。展览以石材至再生材料为线索，通过来自世界各地项目的大型样件与模型，探索十种不同材料如何塑造 BIG 的设计实践。此次开馆同时推出一系列展览，涵盖现代与当代艺术、技术驱动的艺术实践，以及东西方艺术传统之间的跨文化对话；其中包括毕加索展览及一项大型中国当代艺术综览展。
Ahead of its official opening, Suzhou MoCA welcomed visitors through a series of preview exhibitions, including BIG’s Materialism, which remains on view at the museum. The exhibition takes visitors on a material journey from stone to recyclate, exploring the role of ten different materials in shaping BIG’s work through large-scale mock-ups and models of projects from around the world. The museum now opens with a series of inaugural exhibitions spanning modern and contemporary art, technology-driven artistic practices, and cross-cultural dialogue between Eastern and Western artistic traditions, headlined by a Picasso exhibition and a large survey of contemporary Chinese art.
