席女士说,她的展览被称为“三点”,主题是“定向与迷失方向”。 布朗克斯艺术博物馆的馆长Holly Block和评论家兼独立策展人Carey Lovelace为双年展提议了Sze女士并组织了展览,而布朗克斯博物馆则作为委托机构。 Lovelace女士周二在双年展美国馆外说:“萨拉(Sarah)是新一代的一部分,他们正在回归现代主义的观念,但以新的方式发展它们。” Sze女士正在向听众提问:“您生活中哪些对象具有价值,以及如何创造价值?” 她解释。 “我想展示我们在袋子里或商店的货架上认识并见过的残留有情感的物品。”

YUJI NISHIJIMA

西嶋 祐二
Yuji Nishijima is a sculptor in search of his own notion of the medium, creating works using materials such as iron, concrete and wire. His interest lies not only in the works themselves, but also with his relationship to the audiences that come to his exhibitions. He defines this relationship as a part of his work. At this exhibition entitled “An Indication of Existence”, Nishijima will create his sculptures in the form of his own body using numerous coils of copper wire.

KATJA HEITMANN

Ich, mein Selfie und ich
Katja ist inspiriert vom Einfluss der alltäglichen digitalen Technologien auf die Gesellschaft und damit von den aufkommenden Fragen nach der Identität unseres menschlichen Körpers. Sie verbindet die alltägliche Technologie, den Körper der Tänzer und die Präsenz des Publikums zu unkonventionellen Darbietungen. Wer bewegt wen?

Ross MacGibbon
Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan
Lin Hwai-min’s Cursive II is inspired by the aesthetics of calligraphy. Set to music by John Cage, it is an exquisite meditation on the balancing of opposites presented in delicate simplicity, allowing no distraction from the details of the dance.

Imagina que la perfección formal del cineasta Wes Anderson se combina con el delirio surrealista del pintor Salvador Dalí… en una serie de fotografías. Todd Baxter es un fotógrafo norteamericano que ha logrado condensar el talento de estos dos maestros del cine y la pintura, para contar historias que van de lo tierno a lo grotesco. Sus imágenes son una combinación de distintos elementos reales, manipulados digitalmente para provocar en el espectador una experiencia onírica que, en algunos momentos, podría rayar con el horror.

DAVID LETELLIER

Caten
Created for the Saint Sauveur chapel in Caen, Caten is a levitating sculpture, determined by gravity and guiding the evolution of a sound composition.
300 fine wires suspended from two ropes, connected themselves at each end to a slowly rotating arm, form an evanescent surface which interacts with the architecture. By a symbolic mirror effect, the curves of the wires, created by the gravitational force, reflect the shapes of the church arches. Caten opposes the ephemeral to the eternal, the movement to the static, and produce a tension between the lightness and the millenary stability of the space.

Lin Tianmiao

Toy 1#

连天苗在北京生活和工作,主要创作装置作品。 她的职业生涯是将丝绸,线和纺织品转变为精美的艺术品,并尝试摄影和录像。 她的艺术具有感官上的质感和触感。 她那幅令人难以忘怀的单色肖像(如上所示)具有雌雄同体的面孔,被缝在画布上的丝线遮盖着。 这些作品印刷在手工纸上,融合了光刻,压纹和嵌入元素的结合,赋予了它们独特的纹理和尺寸: 在当代中国出现了新的关于自我和个人身份的混合概念。” 由此产生的作品令人难以忘怀,令人着迷。

Oups!
FILE SAO PAULO 2007
Capturing and tracking camera, animated image integration and projection
Created in 2007. Oups! was born from the wish to mix new technologies and classic animation in a playful and artistic way. Each animated sequence has a script and the visitor interacts and transforms himself into an actor of this story.
When the visitor enters in a defined space, a camera records his image and projects it on a screen in front (like a mirror) in real size and time. The visitor sees himself integrated to an animation setting that follow his movements. He founds himself immersed in a creative universe of images and sounds. The animation sequences that feed this universe are stored in a video library, new animations may be added to enrich the project. Oups! universe is playful and naive, accessible to all publics and ages.

התערוכה “אריה” של תומאס סרסינו נפרשת דרך חללי התצוגה של Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi, בתגובה להקשר ההיסטורי, מהחצר ועד לאולמות התצוגה של הבניין. היצירות המוצגות יוצרות דיאלוג מקורי בין עכשווי לרנסנס, ועם ההיסטוריה התרבותית והמדעית של פירנצה. סרסינו יוצר מיצבים סוחפים וחוויות השתתפותיות כדי לחקור דרכים חדשות להתחבר עם תופעות לא אנושיות, כגון עכבישים, חלקיקי אבק וצמחים. העיסוק הרב-תחומי והחזון שלו חובק אמנות, חיי חברה ומדעים.
