Stefano Boeri Architetti：在曼彻斯特亮相：由 Stefano Boeri Architetti 设计的装置作品《The Playmaker》，其灵感源自足球传奇桑德罗·马佐拉，旨在为观众带来沉浸式与动态性的体验，作为“Football City, Art United.” 展览的一部分，于 2025 年曼彻斯特国际艺术节期间展出，探索足球与艺术之间前所未有的关系。

Stefano Boeri Architetti：“The Playmaker” presented in Manchester: the installation designed by Stefano Boeri Architetti inspired by football legend Sandro Mazzola.“The Playmaker”, designed to involve visitors in an immersive and dynamic experience, was created within the exhibition “Football City, Art United. ” which, as part of Manchester International Festival 2025, explores the unprecedented relationship between football and art.

▽一个为观众带来沉浸式与动态性体验的互动装置

这件装置由三个不同的圆柱形模块组成，仿佛是微型球场，地面图案由墨西哥艺术家 Eduardo Terrazas 创作。墙面上布满圆形孔洞与连接空间的门洞，邀请参观者亲身参与，将路径转化为一场关于动作与挑战的游戏。在这里，观众可以尝试“留下自己的印记”，如同一场身体与记忆交织的比赛，设计的灵感源自意大利国家队传奇球星桑德罗·马佐拉的经典动作——他曾于1968年夺得欧洲杯冠军、1970年获得世界杯亚军，并在“伟大的国际米兰”时期赢得4次意甲冠军、2次欧洲冠军杯和2次洲际杯。

建筑师 Stefano Boeri 表示：“桑德罗·马佐拉是我童年与青少年时期的传奇人物之一。他速度极快、技巧出众、不可预测，兼具组织者的视野与前锋的果断。他是‘足球建筑师’，总能以一次爆发预判场上其他球员的动作。”

Manchester – An installation composed of three different cylindrical modules, like miniature playing fields, enriched on the ground by graphic patterns created by the Mexican artist Eduardo Terrazas. The walls come alive with circular holes, doors that connect the spaces and invite visitors to test themselves, transforming the path into a game of movement and challenge. Here they can try to leave their mark, as in a game played with the body and memory, inspired by the gestures of the legend Sandro Mazzola: this is “The Playmaker”, the interactive installation designed by the Stefano Boeri Architetti studio inspired by the historic footballer of the Italian national team, European champion in 1968 and vice-champion of the world in 1970, as well as a leading player of the Grande Inter with whom he won 4 league titles, 2 Champions Cups and 2 Intercontinental Cups.

“Sandro Mazzola was one of the legends of my childhood and adolescence. Extremely fast, unpredictable, technical, he combined the vision of a director and the determination of a striker. The homage to Mazzola is a homage to an ‘architect of football’, capable of anticipating with a snap the movements of other players on the pitch” commented architect Stefano Boeri.

《The Playmaker》邀请参观者尝试重温马佐拉的进球，并创造新的进球，提供一个激发动作与参与的互动体验，在精准与策略的游戏中感受足球的魅力。

该装置作为“Football City, Art United.” 展览的一部分，由世界杯与欧冠冠军球员 Juan Mata、蛇形画廊艺术总监 Hans Ulrich Obrist 以及导演兼作家 Josh Willdigg 共同策展，并与 Holly Shuttleworth 合作开发。展览汇集了11组艺术家与世界级足球运动员的合作，探索艺术与足球在日常生活中的文化贡献。

The installation invites visitors to try to relive the goals scored by Sandro Mazzola and to invent new ones, offering an interactive experience that stimulates movement and participation, in a game of precision and strategy inspired by football.

“The Playmaker” was created as part of the “Manchester International Festival” within the exhibition “ Football City, Art United. ” – co-curated by World Cup and Champions League-winning footballer Juan Mata, Serpentine Gallery Artistic Director Hans Ulrich Obris and filmmaker and writer Josh Willdigg, and co-developed with Holly Shuttleworth – brings together 11 pairings of artists and world-renowned footballers to explore the worlds of art and football in relation to the cultural contribution they both make to everyday life.

▽多方协作的互动装置，给参观者提供一个激发动作与参与的互动体验，在精准与策略的游戏中感受足球的魅力

Stefano Boeri Architetti 工作室（项目团队包括 Stefano Boeri、Pietro Chiodi（项目负责人）、Anastasia Kucherova（项目主管）和 Mohamed Hassan Elgendy）受邀表达对这一主题的理解，选择以桑德罗·马佐拉为灵感——他是现代足球的先驱，发明了“伪九号”这一角色，即既能得分又能组织进攻的球员。

装置被放置在展览空间中心，周围环绕着其他十件由艺术家与足球运动员创作的主题作品，包括 Eric Cantona、Edgar Davids、Alvaro Barrington 和 Ryan Gander 等，构成一条互动旅程，引导观众思考艺术与足球如何彼此学习、互相启发。

Stefano Boeri Architetti studio (worked on the project by: Stefano Boeri, Pietro Chiodi – Partners in charge, Anastasia Kucherova – Project Leader and Mohamed Hassan Elgendy), called upon to design its own interpretation of this message, chose to take inspiration from Sandro Mazzola , a legendary figure and icon of football and a mythological figure in Stefano Boeri’s childhood and adolescent imagination, who, by combining the precision of a director with the determination of a striker, anticipated modern football, inventing an original role: the “false nine” (a goalscorer who can also act as a midfielder).

The installation is placed in the centre of the exhibition space, it is surrounded by ten other thematic works by artists and footballers – including Eric Cantona, Edgar Davids, Alvaro Barrington and Ryan Gander – in an interactive journey that will transport visitors to iconic roles in the world of football, prompting them to reflect on how art and football can learn from each other.

▽沉浸于装置中的体验者

该作品展出至 8 月 24 日，展览地点为曼彻斯特 Aviva Studios – Factory International（一个专注于创意与大型沉浸式体验的文化空间）。装置灵感源自场地的工业特质，在美学上与之呼应，营造出一个强烈而具辨识度的足球环境。结构采用层压木材型材与多层板垂直构建，墙面上的圆形开口系统由专业足球运动员参与设计。

The work, which can be visited until August 24 in Manchester, at Aviva Studios – Factory International (a cultural space dedicated to creativity and large-scale immersive experiences) takes inspiration from the industrial character of the venue, aligning itself with its aesthetics to create an intense and identifying football environment. It features a modular system of walls, built with laminated wood profiles and multilayer panels, positioned vertically. The system of circular openings on the walls was designed with the input of professional footballers.
