Fafner's 遁世居

這是前兩天在找梵谷資料時，從努能的梵谷網頁（http://www.vgvn.nl/）看到的新聞，感覺上有點與時事結合，於是就翻譯了一下，供梵谷迷參考。

Nuenen and Van Gogh at the World Expo in Shanghai

The World Expo 2010 is being held in Shanghai from 1 May to 31 October. The World Expo, which dates back to 1851, can be seen from its economic and cultural impact as being one of the most important events in the world. This year a total of 192 countries and 50 international organisations are taking part and it is expected that the World Expo will attract about 70 million public and business visitors.

The Dutch pavilion at the World Expo in Shanghai goes under the joyful name of Happy Street. This street contains several small houses in which Dutch companies and institutions demonstrate those areas in which they are world-renowned. Nuenen will demonstrate why it has every right to call itself a Van Gogh Village. Vincent van Gogh is universally considered to be one of history's most important artists. His work had an enormous influence on 19^th and 20^th century art. This Van Gogh house gives an impression of Vincent van Gogh's painting technique and shows an animation of the creation of his famous painting 'The Potato Eaters' which he painted in Nuenen.

The 'Potato Eaters' in Eindhoven's Friendship Park in Nanjing

The City of Eindhoven has for 20 years had a twinning arrangement with the city of Nanjing (5 million inhabitants). To celebrate this, a Friendship Park is currently being constructed in Nanjing. This park is a gift from Eindhoven to Nanjing. The Friendship Park will comprise a Brabant garden containing a number of characteristic Brabant buildings. It has been decided to include a traditional farmhouse with outbuildings and a chapel, a water mill and a windmill. The buildings are replicas of buildings in Nuenen which were committed to canvas by Vincent van Gogh. The windmill is the biggest in China and the water mill is the first of its kind to be built in China. In one of these buildings, which will serve as a meeting place for the Dutch and Chinese business communities, a permanent exhibition will be installed based on the new Van Gogh Centre Vincentre in Nuenen.

2010 上海世界博覽會的「努能與梵谷」和南京的「愛因霍芬友誼公園」

上海世博會的「努能與梵谷」

二○一○年世界博覽會，將於五月一日起至十月三十一日止，在上海舉行。世界博覽會，最早可追溯至 1851年，從經濟和文化層面的影響力來看，可說是世界上最重要的活動了。今年總共有一百九十二個國家，和五十個國際組織參與世博會，據估計將可吸引七千萬名一般與商業訪客的蒞臨。

上海世博會的荷蘭館，取了一個很歡樂的名稱：「快樂街」。在這條街上有著許多小房子，裡面是荷蘭的企業和組織，展示著他們在各領域上聞名全球的項目。努能則展現了它自詡為「梵谷村」的原因。文生．梵谷被視為是史上最重要的畫家之一。他的作品，對十九世紀和二十世紀藝術的影響極深。在這個梵谷之屋裡，將讓觀眾一窺梵谷的作畫技巧，以及一段他在努能所創作的名作「食薯者」的動畫。

南京「愛因霍芬友誼公園」裡的「食薯者」

愛因霍芬市和南京市（擁有五百萬居民）結成姊妹市已有二十年了。為了慶祝這個盛事，南京市將興建一座友誼公園。這座公園，是愛因霍芬送給南京的禮物。友誼公園裡，將會有一座包含了許多布拉班特風格建築的布拉班特花園。同時也決定要興建一幢包含有外屋和禮拜堂的傳統農舍，一座水車和一座風車。這些建築物，是依照梵谷畫作中的努能建築來重建的。這座風車，會是全中國最大的一座，而水車也是中國第一座此種型式的水車。這些建築當中，將有一座會被用來當作是荷蘭與中國商會組織的會議場所，裡面則會永久展覽著引進自努能「新梵谷中心」的展出品。
