Prairie Logic是通过来自布鲁克林的艺术家Janet Zweig 珍妮特·茨威格和 el dorado埃尔多拉多有限公司之间的合作建成。它像一个全覆盖的穿孔铝板的棚车位于25,000平方英尺海域的当地prairie草原上。 扎根于堪萨斯Kansas城市，密苏里州只是艺术项目中的1％部分。这个建筑坐落在一个具有半英亩种植屋面的4层以上的堪萨斯城的大街市中心。从三个不同视角都可以看到它.这个建筑理念之所以是在堪萨斯城，是源于珍妮特和埃尔多拉多之间对于美国历史悠久的西部城市的谈话。 堪萨斯城作为一个既是目的地和又是出发地，它的存在成为全国第二大铁路枢纽。Prairie Logic，是我们的文化渴望扎根于“其他地方”，它已经深刻地渗透到堪萨斯城的社会和基础设施结构中。在非常有本地文化特色的地方，Prairie Logic 成为那些在绿色屋顶种植修剪整齐的草坪转变为占有一片草原-独具特色的棚车。Prairie Logic 打算成为一个沉思和反思的地方。它既可以作为一个独处和思考的地方，或者可以作为一个特别的社交空间。 译者：蝈蝈 Prairie Logic is a collaboration between Brooklyn-based artist Janet Zweig and el dorado inc. Comprised of a full scale perforated aluminum boxcar in a 25,000 square foot sea of native prairie grass, it was commissioned by the City of Kansas City, Missouri as part of their 1% for Art program. The work is situated on a half-acre planted roof 4 stories above Main Street in Downtown Kansas City. It is meant to be experienced at three different scales. The generative idea behind the piece started with conversations between Janet and el dorado about the nature of Kansas City as a trail head for many of America’s historic Westward trails. The idea of Kansas City as a both a destination and an embarkation point is reinforced present day by its existence as the nation’s second largest railroad hub and by its sprawling suburban and ex-urban dominated footprint. Prairie Logic was informed by our culture’s desire to be“somewhere else”, which has permeated Kansas City’s social and infrastructural fabric on many scales. on an extremely localized level, those occupying the manicured turf on the west side of the green roof desire to venture out amidst the native grasses of rairie Logic–to visit the inexplicably situated boxcar. Prairie Logic is intended to be a place of contemplation and reflection. Depending on its occupation, it serves either as a place of solitude and reflection, or as a programmed community space.
