城市藝術家SPY的許多作品都讓人驚喜萬分，他最新的城市介入設計以一種意想不到的呈現方式展現出來。當然，這都需要你親身來體會。但是這次城市介入的轉變又是什麼呢？要是我們在一個巨大的歐洲廣場上，舉辦一次草皮的「快閃」，那會是怎樣的呢？人們以最快的速度在廣場中心布置一片圓形的草皮，應該是件有趣的事情。

like many of his projects, this latest intervention by urban artist SpY tends to take you by surprise, presenting everyday things in a way you wouldn』t expect. the result — well that all depends on you. so what』s the twist here? how about we take a major european plaza, where people move about quickly, and install a large swarth of grass right in the middle?

SPY「草坪」項目也是為了紀念馬德里廣場建成400周年。可以說，這個項目的開展給馬德里廣場帶來巨大的改變，廣場搖身一變不再是人們匆忙穿行的場所，而是可供超過10萬人玩耍、體驗這個廣場獨特魅力的場所。無論是遊客還是當地人都可以在這裡體會到在大自然中才能感受到的自由。這個圓形的草皮佔據了整個廣場，也改變了它的環境。在紀念狂歡的喧囂中，騎馬雕像依然矗立在那裡俯瞰整個廣場，但是相比往常，它也越發有趣起來。

that』s just what SpY did with his project 『grass』 staged in madrid』s plaza mayor to mark its 400th anniversary. instead of bustling around and moving quickly through the space, more than 100,000 people sat, played with and enjoyed the plaza like never before. tourists and locals alike where confronted with a new freedom, one that only nature could grant. the circular swath of grass enveloped the square and changed its context. in the middle of the commotion, the equestrian sculpture continues to oversee the festivities — perhaps even he appears to be having more fun.

圓形草皮佔地約3500平方米，直徑達70米。從空中俯瞰，它成為磚紅色西班牙風格景觀中的一抹綠色。即使是有一定的距離，但是這綠色的草皮也能讓人感到平靜。SPY試圖在蜿蜒的馬德里街道中，為更多的城市居民創造一些庇護和探索的空間。草的紋理有利於人的放鬆，這也使它成為改變空間與活動對話，甚至是吸引行人停留的絕佳媒介。但很遺憾的是，四天之後這個草皮就被拆除了，但是如果你住在巴黎、紐約或者莫斯科，那麼你很幸運，下一次它將出現在你的身邊，所以敬請期待。

the circle spans a total of 3500 square meters, stretching out a diameter of 70 meters. from an arial perspective, we see a green dot stand out amongst the earthy red tones of the spanish-style landscape. it appears soothing even from this distance. in the meandering streets of madrid, SpY seeks to offer a kind of sanctuary and exploration for the many city inhabitants. grass』 texture is so conducive to relaxation that it becomes the perfect way to change the dialog and allow passersby to occupy the floor. the installation is sadly over, but stay tuned — the green circle may be coming to you next if you live in paris, new york or moscow.
