滑板教堂是一座位于亚内拉（阿斯图里亚斯）的老教堂。Iniciativas Habitat公司（简称IH公司） 最先将它收购下来，对其进行了初步的修复。“教堂突击队”组织随后对其实施了改造，使之成为了一座滑板爱好者的天堂。

教堂曾经属于一片圣巴巴拉炸药厂的服务建筑群。西班牙内战结束后，炸药厂停工，该建筑群也被遗弃。几年后，IH公司的卡西米罗·费尔南德斯和他的孩子们买下了这座教堂，并与伙伴们一同决定在此建造一个滑板坡道，把教堂内部改造为一个文化展览空间。

IH公司与“教堂突击队”在没有任何制度支持的条件下开始了自己的造梦工作：在教堂内策划举办了从音乐会到滑板锦标赛等各类活动，他们不辞辛苦，乐在其中。这个教堂在他们的努力营造下逐渐成为了一个年轻文化的殿堂。

2014年，国际知名的西班牙艺术家欧库达·圣·米盖尔造访了这座教堂。在教堂的开放概念和活跃气氛的感染下，欧库达提议在它的穹顶和四壁上作画，用这种传统的教堂装饰做法进一步提升空间的品质。

在欧库达的作品中，有一个反复出现的形象——卡奥斯星。它是一个色彩绚丽的不对称罗盘，不断提醒人们：在哪或做什么并不重要，你自己的方向和目标才是你唯一的行动指南。这一点很好地呼应了滑板教堂的空间概念，因而使这个项目显得更为惊艳。

欧库达与他的执行团队Ink and Movement，在一个众筹平台（Verkami）上发布了项目的信息，筹到了足够的资金。所有参与者和赞助人都可以挑选一件欧库达的艺术产品作为回报。

艺术家从2014年11月23日开始工作，7天后完成了整个教堂室内的绘画。滑板教堂于12月10日向公众开放，开幕时邀请到了滑板界明星丹尼·里昂为滑道“开光”。

这无疑是欧库达最重要的艺术作品——一幅绘制于艺术史中经典媒介上的画作；这一创意也很快拨动了文化领域的风向标，为当代艺术的表达开辟了新的空间。（张裕翔 译）

The so called Iglesia Skate is an ancient temple located in Llanera （Asturias） acquired in 2007 by the company Iniciativas Habitat， donors and precursors of the restoration initiative， and later converted by the collective Church Brigade in place of pilgrimage for skate culture lovers.

Built as part of the complex that once housed and gave services to workers in the explosives factory Santa Barbara， it was after the end of the Spanish Civil War when the company closed down and its facilities were abandoned. A few years ago，Casimiro Fernández and his sons acquired the church as an investment after a lifetime devotion to the international distribution of contemporary furniture （Iniciativas Habitat）. precursors that alongside a group of friends decided to build a skateboard ramp within the church to host art and cultural exhibitions， reconverting space and function of the building， always in a popular fashion.

Without institutional support of any kind，in the purest DIY tradition， Iniciativas Habitat and the Church Brigade crew slowly shaped their own dream: from concerts to skate championships through barbecues and， of course， plenty of worn soles. They gave identity to this place and turned it into a temple to house his passion for skateboarding and to encourage youth culture in an unbelievable location: a church.

It is not until late 2014 when the artist Okuda San Miguel， an international representative of Spanish young emerging artist， visited the church and admired the new interpretation of the uses for such a space and the concept of meetings and activities taking place there. Somehow he visualized the perfect complement to the spirit of the new Skate Church， and proposed to express that conceptual paintings on its walls and vaults as always in churches.

In Okuda's imagery there is a recurring figure， his iconic Kaos Star， depicting a colorful and asymmetric compass that come to say that it doesn't matter where you are or what you are doing，the only important direction is to have your own references to achieve your goals， something that was clearly perceived there leading to thinking of such an amazing project as KAOS TEMpLE.

Together with Ink and Movement， his management and communication team， they published the project in a crowdfunding platform（Verkami） and reached the amount needed to make it possible. All the participants， art patrons of the twenty-first century， could choose their rewards between different types of artistic products produced by Okuda.

The artist began painting the church on November 23 and spent 7 days completing the artwork. The Skate Church was reopened to the public on December 10 and honored the presence of professional skateboarder Danny Leon， who had the mission to be the first one to ride the renewed temple.

There is no doubt that this is the most important work in Okuda's career to date， painting on one of the most characteristic media in art history； a creative expression that has quickly become a landmark of cultural convulsion promoting new spaces for contemporary art expression.

评论

魏春雨：该项目以类似“众筹”的集资平台形式募集设计资金，并通过大胆而浪漫的艺术活动DIY的介入，激活了废弃的教堂，成功将之转化为富有激情与浪漫精神的场所——滑板教堂，将功能进行了异化，并置了优雅的古典结构美与当代艺术审美，提供了一条轻型、多元的建筑有机更新之路。

Comments

WEI Chunyu： This project raised the design fund through a fundraising platform， in a way similar to "crowd funding". And by introducing a bold and romantic artistic activity， DIY， into the design， it activates the abandoned church and successfully transforms it into a place full of passion and romantic spirit - a skateboard church. The design diverts the original function and presents the elegant classic structural beauty together with modern artistic aesthetics. Moreover， it provides a light-weight and pluralistic path for the organic renovation of architecture.

崔光海：改造是一件由内而外的创造性活动，他们做到了把当代艺术和古典风格建筑融为一体，信众的教堂转变成滑板运动的“圣殿”，缤纷的色彩涂画在传统天顶画的位置，组织爱好者参与代替了权威独立完成。这种操作机制、功能和艺术风格的共同转换才保证了这次更新的有趣和成功。

CUI Guanghai： Reform is an inside-out creative activity， through which they accomplished integration between modern art and classical style architecture， and transformed a church for believers into a "temple" for skating sport， where colorful paintings replaced traditional frescoes on the ceiling as amateur participation turned out to be independently organized instead of by authorities. Owing to the synchronized transformation of manipulation mechanism， function， and artistic style， both fun and success have been guaranteed in this renewal.
