façade 5 / 立面之五：

MUSAC

MUSAC建筑外观。

MUSAC是在西班牙当代美术馆Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Castilla y León的缩写（www.musac.es）。很多艺术机构的出版物试图给出一个统一的、系列的设计，易于让公众辨识， 而MUSAC的出版物却更注重艺术家和设计师之间的开放的创作过程，艺术家往往可以提议和他最欣赏的设计师合作，使得每一本出版物都呈现出不同的面貌，最终完成一个最恰当的表达。

MUSAC (Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Castilla y León) is a contemporary art museum in Léon, Spain. Many art institutions approach publication in a manner so the public can easily recognize the books as unified products from the institution. MUSAC engages artists and designers to open up the creative process, resulting in books of differing form most appropriate for the ideas in them rather than a brand concept.

在这期立面中，大家可以看到丰富多彩的MUSAC的出版物，既有一些重要的当代艺术家的专辑——像伊朗艺术家Shirin Neshat的《The Last Word》，英国著名概念艺术家Cerith Wyn Evans的《…visibleinvisible》，目前最受关注的日本建筑小组SANAA在MUSAC的展览画册《HOUSES》，也有厚厚的介绍美术馆收藏的画册。

In this edition of façade we can see a variety of publications from MUSAC, a number of catalogues from contemporary artists including the Iranian artist Shirin Neshat's "The Last Word", British artist Cerith Wyn Evans' "... visibleinvisible", and the architecture firm SANAA's album "HOUSES", as well as a good representation of their collections and group shows.

有趣的是，大家也可以出版物的多样性中捕捉到MUSAC作为一个当代美术馆努力想表达的文化多样性。
