杨信生摄影展｜回望邬达克建筑之美 The Beauty of Hudek's Architecture

回望邬达克建筑之美——时空在记忆里相逢 

 ▷邬达克

匠心独具且设计风格多变，融合欧洲建筑理念与上海元素的实践先驱

建筑是他书写的传奇

建筑是他描绘的诗歌

建筑是他凝固的音乐  

▷非·常摄影

摄影是一种视觉艺术的实践，是感官对既定事物人像的表达。

寄情儒雅是一种精神回归，但离不开传统的铺垫，非常摄影不仅记录表象，更传递想象力。

通过打印的特殊纸张与装裱形式，强调诗情画意的美感  

▷杨信生

注重摄影艺术的创新以及作品呈现新技术和材料的使用

诗句是他的视像语言

画面是他重塑的故事

摄影是他吟诗的工具 

策展思考

行走在上海街头，

想不遇见“邬达克”也难。

在了解过邬达克的生平后，

再来看他的建筑，

我们总会被他的作品感动。

他的匠心独具及用心良苦。

多年来，

这些作品经受历史的检验至今仍然充满诱人的魅力。

邬达克擅长营造风格迥异的建筑，

他没有固定的建筑风格，

他的风格一直在变，

西方各种建筑风格在他的作品中都有表现，

于摄影来说杨信生老师又何尝不是？

杨信生老师结合形、光、色与无形的心境，

将直觉中朦胧的观念，

不可言表的内心感受，

通过影像形式加以体现，

以形媚道之大成，

将邬达克建筑吟唱成诗。

本次展览既有邬达克在上海的作品，

也有邬达克在其家乡的作品，

将镜头对准养育邬达克的美丽城市与街区，

寻找滋养邬达克成功的城市文化基因，

通过对建筑外观，

内部空间和建造细节的展示，

在某种程度上，

让人们更深入地与建筑产生交流。 

杨老师尝试通过镜头表达诗意，

将诗歌融于摄影，

以其特有的“非常摄影”与“邬达克”共同书写一个讲给世界听的影像故事。

通过画面将带给观者不同的感官体验，

这些作品展示了邬达克的人生历程，

书写着属于邬达克的传奇。

更铭记了”一个人与一座城的情缘，

两座城与一个人的故事“。

杨老师在用作品表达对邬达克深深的怀念和敬意的同时，

更向公众展示邬达克建筑的诗意和多变。

让我们跟随杨老师的作品，

一起回望并重新认识邬达克，

在凝固的音符中，

感受时间的心跳，

在记忆的时空里相逢 ...

“这座城市星星点点到处回响着他留下的声音，

那是建筑，

更是凝固的音乐与诗歌”

Curators' Comments

Time and space meet in memory: Looking back at the beauty of Hudek's architecture

As an architect, Hudek's originality is unique, and the design style is unpredictable. He was a pioneer in integrating European architectural concepts with Shanghai elements. Architecture fulfilled his legend with his poetic design, like frozen pieces of music.

Today, another artist and photographer, Yang Xinsheng, focuses on the innovation of photography and using new technologies and materials to present his image story. The photographer wants to utilise the visual language that he calls unconventional photography to reinvent Hudek's stories in architecture in a poetic and picturesque way.

Walking on the streets of Shanghai, it is hard not to meet 'Hudek'. After learning about the architect's life and looking at his architecture, people are moved by his originality and good intentions. Over the years, these works have recorded history traces and are still enticing to this day. Hudek was good at creating buildings with different styles with no fixed way. His style was constantly evolving with various Western architectural forms. Similarly, Yang Xinsheng also practices the art of photography in an open and evolving way. Yang combines form, light, colour and intangible minds to express his intuition and inner feelings through the images and interprets Hudek's architecture into poetry

This exhibition covers some of Hudek's footprints in Shanghai and some early architectural enlightenment in his hometown. Years ago, the photographer was invited to Hudek's home town for a photo exhibition of Hudek’s architecture. He used that opportunity to observe the beautiful city and neighbourhoods that nurtured Hudek's talent, trying to discover the cultural genes that Hudek inhered. To some extent, the photographer found that the display of the building's exterior, interior space and construction details allows people to communicate with the building more deeply.

Yang tries to use images through the lens and integrates poetry into photography. With his unique "unconventional photography" and Hudek's architectural beauty, he composes an image story to tell the world and brings different sensory experiences to the viewers through the pictures. These pictures somehow show Hudek's life and legend course, expressing deep nostalgia and respect for the architect.

Let us follow Yang's image story by retrospecting Hudek in the frozen notes and feeling the heartbeat of time-space and memory.

邬达克简介

拉斯洛·邬达克（László Hudec，1893－1958），是1920年代和1940年代居住在上海的一位匈牙利籍斯洛伐克建筑师，他设计的许多作品，都列为上海优秀近代建筑。

邬达克于1893年出生于匈牙利王国（今斯洛伐克班斯卡-比斯特里察）一个富裕的斯洛伐克人家庭，自1911年至1914年在布达佩斯皇家学院学习建筑学，毕业后当选匈牙利皇家建筑学会会员。第一次世界大战时邬达克应征入伍，在1916年被俄国哥萨克骑兵俘虏，送往西伯利亚的监狱。1918年，正在白军和红军的血腥内战如火如荼之际，在被转移经过中国边境附近时，邬达克跳下正在行驶的火车逃生，冒险进入中国境内，前往上海，安家在赫德路（今常德路）13号简单的一居室中，在那里加入美国建筑师事务所克利（Curry）洋行，学习英语和汉语。1922年邬达克在上海与吉塞拉迈耶结婚，同住在吕西纳路（今利西路）17号别墅中；1925年独自开业建筑事务所；1947年离开上海后，前往瑞士卢加诺定居，后搬去罗马；1950年移居到美国加州伯克利，在加州大学伯克利分校任教。在1958年地震期间，邬达克死于心脏病发作；1970年，被埋葬在斯洛伐克班斯卡-比斯特里察的一个新教墓地。

从1918年到1947年，邬达克在上海留下了百余件建筑作品，其中有上海市中心跑马厅（人民广场）附近的沐恩堂、国际饭店和大光明大戏院。他的建筑创作风格从早期的20世纪初流行的新古典主义，逐渐过渡到后期的装饰艺术风格和现代风格。虽然其中一些建筑物已经消失，但是许多仍然存在，现在都被列为优秀近代建筑。

László Hudec

László Hudec (1893－1958, Chinese name Wu Dake) was a Hungarian–Slovak architect active in Shanghai from the 1920’s to the 1940’s and responsible for some of that city's most notable structures.

‍‍Hudec was born in 1893 in a wealthyarchitect family in Besztercebánya, Austria-Hungary (now Banská Bystrica in Slovakia) . He studied architecture at Budapest University from 1911 to 1914. As a patriot, Hudec volunteered to join the Austro-Hungarian Army after outbreak of World War I, but was captured by the Russian Army in 1916 and was sent to a prison camp in Siberia. In 1918, while being transferred, he jumped from a train near the Chinese border and made his way to Shanghai, where he joined the American architectural office R. A. Curry.

In 1925, he opened his own practice,and was responsible for around 100 buildings up to the 1940’s.

Hudec's masterpiece is usually considered to be the 22-storyPark Hotel Shanghai, on Nanjing Road across from People's Square. Built in 1934, it was the tallest building in the city until the 1980s, and is still a local landmark.

After leaving Shanghai in 1947, Hudec moved toLugano, Switzerland and later to Rome. In 1950 he moved to Berkeley where he taught at the University of California. He died from a heart-attack during an earthquake in 1958. In 1970 his remains were buried in an evangelical cemetery in Banská Bystrica, Slovakia.

Hudec’s major works include thePark Hotel, the Grand Theatre, the Joint Savings and Loan building, the combined Baptist Publications and Christian Literature Society buildings, and the post-modern "Green House". Hudec's style evolved during his active period, from the eclectic neo-classicism popular in the early 20th century to art deco and modern buildings toward the later part of his career.Although some of his buildings have been lost in the intervening decades, many survive.
