Abstract

Avec « Dysfunctional », exposition organisée par la Carpenters Workshop Gallery, dix-sept artistes et designers internationaux se confrontent à l’architecture Renaissance du palais Ca’ d’Oro à Venise.Les lampes ou le mobilier-sculpture de Nacho Carbonell, Studio Drift, Vincent Dubourg et Virgil Abloh, les bancs organiques de Wendell Castle ou Mathieu Lehanneur, les horloges habitées de Maarten Baas sont autant de remises en question contemporaines des frontières existant entre les beaux-arts, l’architecture et le design.Entre artisanat et art, chacun de ces créateurs remet en cause la notion de fonctionnalisme à l’aune de son geste artistique, en se confrontant aux chefs-d’œuvre de la Ca’ d’Oro, de Mantegna à Van Eyck, réunis par le collectionneur Giorgio Franchetti. Must form still follow function, as Martin Gropius, Le Corbusier, and their followers proclaimed? Dysfunctional invites a reconsideration of the conventional relationship between artistic expression and functionality. In an exhibition organised by the Carpenters Workshop Gallery in the stunning setting of the Ca'd'Oro in Venice, site-specific works by 17 established and emerging artists explore the boundaries of art, architecture, and design. These contemporary artists draw on the rich heritage of Venetian craftsmanship and the museum's exceptional collection of Italian masterpieces to create a meaningful dialogue about the 20th century mantra of form following function. With work located in the realm between craft and art, each of the artists in the show challenges preconceptions about what is beautiful and what is useful, what is historical, and what is modern. Included here are site-specific installations and furniture-sculpture by Nacho Carbonell, Studio Drift, Vincent Dubourg and Virgil Abloh, organic benches by Wendell Castle and Mathieu Lehanneur, and inhabited clocks by Maarten Baas, among others.

Abstract

James Turrell's first exhibition in a New York museum since 1980 focuses on the artist's groundbreaking explorations of perception, light, color, and space, with a special focus on the role of site specificity in his practice. At its core is 'Aten Reign' (2013), a major new project that recasts the Guggenheim rotunda as an enormous volume filled with shifting artificial and natural light. One of the most dramatic transformations of the museum ever conceived, the installation reimagines Frank Lloyd Wright's iconic architecture - its openness to nature, graceful curves, and magnificent sense of space - as one of Turrell's Skyspaces, referencing in particular his magnum opus the 'Roden Crater Project' (1979- ). Reorienting visitors' experiences of the rotunda from above to below, 'Aten Reign' gives form to the air and light occupying the museum's central void, proposing an entirely new experience of the building.

Abstract

Can there be such a thing as a public art founded on universal values? This was the question that the German artist Anselm Kiefer tackled while conceiving his installation for the Doge's Palace in Venice. Invited to participate in the celebration of the city's 1600th anniversary, Kiefer developed a project specifically for the Chamber of the Ballot, an immense room inside the Gothic palace: a series of paintings in dialogue with the heroic values inscribed in the chamber's 33 artworks by the Italian masters Tintoretto, Andrea Vicentino and Palma the Giovane. The series, "These writings, when burned, will finally cast a little light", takes its title from the writings of the Venetian philosopher Andrea Emo. -- Publisher's statement.

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.
