点评:I've been meaning to visit the Sainsbury centre for years. My mother lives down in Suffolk. And to be honest East Anglia is a bit of a cultural desert. There are very few galleries of any value. Most 'art' galleries locally show the dreadful kind of overly colourful landscape duff-stuff that the middle class's value as decoratation for 'the cottage' darling. So finally it was great to be able to go to this more serious venue. We cycled to the centre from the city. The ride was easy and enjoyable. On arrival we were greated by the fields in front and a view down to the river, which was lovely. The outdoor sculptures are nice, though I always find outdoor sculpture incongruous. It would be worth one of the curators putting some time into trying to re-imagine how they could be more apprecatied...
The building was cool. The staff we spoke to were lovely too. It is generally a calm and inviting space. All the paintings and drawings in the collection great and well presented. I was'nt too sure of the way they had hung a Giacometti painting, viewed from below from a lay-back chair. But, my son loved it and I could see its purpose. The other artifacts and indoor sculptures were all lovely. I went around and around that show about five times.
The temporary show about the sea or something was generally very good, we liked the short film with the blobs on the beach. And the etching on the venetion blind. The curation was OK.. it seemed a little tired maybe. The lower, inaccesible floor seemed empty and redundant which seemed a shame. Generally, It could do with more, there is a lot of empty space. But all in, great. And the cafe made a superior tea, always a benefit.

翻译:多年来我一直想去Sainsbury购物中心看看。我母亲住在萨福克郡。说实话,东英吉利亚有点像一片文化沙漠。这里几乎没有什么有价值的画廊。当地大多数“艺术”画廊展出的都是那种色彩过于艳丽、令人作呕的风景画——中产阶级只把它当作“小屋”的装饰品。所以,终于能去到这个更严肃的地方真是太好了。我们从市区骑自行车到购物中心。一路轻松愉快。到达购物中心后,我们被眼前的田野和美丽的河流所吸引。室外雕塑也很棒,虽然我总觉得它们很不协调。如果策展人能花点时间重新思考一下如何才能更好地欣赏它们就好了……
建筑很酷。我们采访的工作人员也很友好。总的来说,这是一个宁静而温馨的空间。馆内的所有绘画和素描都很棒,而且呈现得非常出色。我不太明白他们是怎么把贾科梅蒂的画挂起来的,只能从躺椅上往下看。不过,我儿子很喜欢,我也明白它的用途。其他的文物和室内雕塑都很可爱。我大概看了五遍那个展览。
那个关于大海之类的临时展览总体来说很不错,我们喜欢那个沙滩上斑点的短片。还有百叶窗上的蚀刻画。策展还行……可能看起来有点老套。底层,人迹罕至,显得空旷而多余,这有点可惜。总的来说,它还可以再完善一些,因为有很多空余空间。但总的来说,很棒。咖啡馆的茶也很棒,这总是一件好事。
