全新的鮑勃·迪倫中心致力于研究和欣賞鮑勃·迪倫及其在全球范圍內的文化意義,它追溯了這位多產藝術家在其60年職業生涯中的創作軌跡。該中心位于塔爾薩藝術區,被設想為一個充滿活力、多面性的場所,設有永久性展覽、臨時性展覽和巡回展覽,方便藝術家、歷史學家、音樂家以及希望更深入了解迪倫的作品、其影響力以及受他啟發而衍生出的事物的普通大眾參觀。
奧爾森·昆迪格建筑事務所是通過一場國際設計競賽而被選中的。該事務所的獲獎方案聚焦于鮑勃·迪倫作為“變革大師”這一概念。設計負責人艾倫·馬斯金將迪倫的生活和職業生涯理解為一幅不斷轉變的肖像畫,他設想全新的鮑勃·迪倫中心成為持續變革的象征,從建筑的設計手法到展覽設計以及不斷輪換的裝置展品都是如此。
鮑勃·迪倫中心也是“鮑勃·迪倫檔案館”的主要公共展示場所。該檔案館收藏了超過10萬件物品,涵蓋手寫稿、筆記本、信件、電影、視頻、藝術品、紀念品以及原始錄音室錄音。雖然檔案館的永久存放處僅對符合資質的研究人員和學者開放,但一面線性的展覽墻和互動展示區展出了近100件館藏物品,供參觀者探索。
“自二十世紀60年代以來,變革與自我重塑在鮑勃·迪倫的創作生涯中所扮演的角色一直激勵著我。我們沒有按照傳統音樂博物館的概念為鮑勃·迪倫打造一座紀念碑,而是設想了一個綜合的、不斷變化且精心規劃的場所,這里有沉浸式的展覽體驗,還有很少露面的文物展品,它們將隨著‘鮑勃·迪倫檔案館’的發展而不斷變化和成長?!币辉O計負責人艾倫·馬斯金。

Dedicated to the study and appreciation of Bob Dylan and his worldwide cultural significance,the new Bob Dylan Center traces the creative trajectory of this prolific artistacross his 6O-year career.Located in the Tulsa Arts District, the Center is envisioned as a dynamic,multifaceted venue,housing permanent,temporary,and traveling exhibitions readily accessible by artists,historians,musicologists,and the general public seeking a deeper comprehension of Dylan's work,his influences and the offshoots inspired by his legacy.
Olson Kundig was selected through an international design competition.The firm's winning entry was focused on the notionof Bob Dylan asa“Master of Change.\" Understanding Dylan's lifeand careerasa portraitof transformation,Design Principal Alan Maskin envisioned the new Bob Dylan Center as the embodiment of continual change,from the building's architectural approach to its exhibit design and rotating installations.
The new Bob Dylan Center also serves as the primary public venue for The Bob Dylan Archive,a collection of more than 1oo,ooo items spanning handwritten manuscripts, notebooksand correspondence,films,videos,artwork,memorabilia,and original studio recordings.While the Archive's permanent repository is open only to qualified researchersand scholars,a linear gallery walland interactive display feature nearly100 items from thecollection for visitors to explore.
“Since the 196Os,I have been inspired by the role that change and reinvention have played in the creative life of Bob Dylan.Rather than createa monument to Bob Dylan in the traditional music museum sense,we imagined a synoptic,continually changing, and highly programmed facility featuring immersive exhibit experiences and rarely seen artifacts that willtransform and grow along with the accompanying Bob Dylan Archive.\" -Alan Maskin,Design Principal.
