Abstract

For more than fifty years, James Turrell (*1943, Los Angeles), one of the most prominent artists of our time, has devoted himself to the exploration of the (im)materiality and perception of light. Turrell succeeds like no other artist in making it possible to experience light as an artistic medium through the senses and the intellect alike. He himself describes his art as "perceptual art." In his large installations the artist floods accessible spaces with light, which spills out in soft seas of color or intensely glowing, luminous fogs, taking viewers to the limits of their perception. This book provides a comprehensive view of Turrell's oeuvre and unites works of art from various phases of his career from the 1960s onward.

Abstract

Au croisement de l'art, de la typographie et de l'architecture, les projets présentés dans cet ouvrage donnent une dimension nouvelle au mot écrit et aux caractères. Chiffre géant, sculpture en braille, citations placées au sol et installations poétiques forment autant de points de repère, de réflexion ou de rêverie au sein des espaces urbains. Dans ces villes ponctuées par le lettrage, les noms des victimes de drames s'affichent sur les murs, l'heure se lit sur la façade des immeubles et les plaques d'égout se font oeuvres d'art. L'auteure nous invite ainsi, de New York à Barcelone en passant par Séoul, à un voyage artistique, historique et empreint d'émotions. Quand les installations typographiques s'emparent de l'espace de nos villes, ce sont en effet la mémoire et la poésie qui y rythment nos pas.

Abstract

The visionary artist Bodys Isek Kingelez created utopian propositions for cities in a peaceful and prosperous tomorrow. Born in the Belgian Congo in 1948, Kingelez came of age in a period of tremendous change, as his country evolved in the complex years following Independence. He made his first artworks in the late 1970s in Kinshasa, the capital of the newly renamed nation of Zaire, transforming modest materialspaper, cardboard, plastic, and commercial packaginginto dazzling and intricate sculptures. Inspired in large part by the life and architecture of the capital (where he lived until his death in 2015), his works depict civic buildings, public monuments, national pavilions, and skyscrapers, both singly and combined into fantastical and expansive cities. Kingelez gained international renown through his participation in the landmark 1989 exhibition Magiciens de la terre, at the Centre Pompidou, Paris, and his sculptures have since been shown around the world.

Published to accompany an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York - the first-ever full retrospective of Kingelezs practice - this catalogue traces the span of the artists thirty-year career, from his rarely seen early works to the large-scale cities of his later decades. Featuring stunning new photography, this is the most comprehensive volume on the artist to date.
