Pumpkin Day Installation and Public Event
Ithaca, New York
On October 31 the day of Halloween, BAM created, for the Cornell architecture students, an event appropriately named Pumpkin Day. Students gather outside in the space between East Sibley and Rand Hall in the presence of a massive spiky neon orange target place on the ground. The pre-prepared pumpkins are smuggled into the library, and their hosts, position themselves at their respective windows, looking out at the crowd looking back at them in anticipation. People wait as tension mounts while librarians grow aware and suspicious from all the commotion coming from outside of the window. Then pumpkins are let loose, as the ‘pumpkin-tossers’ aim for the big neon target, the resulting composition as a due to the pumpkins intricate stuffings, is to say the least, stunning. However beautifully disgusting the work may be, the sound of the community screaming and laughing after each successive pumpkin is the true essence of Pumpkin Day.
艺术装置和公共事件 南瓜节
美国伊萨卡市
在10月31日万圣节这一天，BAM 为康奈尔大学建筑学专业的学生们设计了一个活动，可以称之为南瓜节。学生们聚在东锡布利大厦和兰德大厦之间的特定的巨大地面上。事先准备好的南瓜被偷运进图书馆，他们的主人把他们特定的窗边，朝窗外回头带着期待的神情观望他们的人群看去。在紧张气氛的渲染下，人们正等待着，然而图书管理员随着窗外传来的喧闹声心生怀疑。此时，南瓜从窗边滚下，滚向特定的目标。由于南瓜里装满了错综复杂的填充物，或者说“馅”，也许这个设计有些令人有些厌恶。然而，为每个成功击中特定目标的南瓜而发出的尖叫和笑声才是南瓜节实质所在。
