music: steve reich
The 70-minute piece is a response to Steve Reich’s minimalist composition Music for 18 Musicians, played live here by the Ictus Ensemble. As De Keersmaeker has demonstrated in works such as Fase and Drumming, she’s fascinated by the architecture of Reich’s compositions and the challenge of creating movement that reflects it. more..

Nalini Malani

In Search of Vanished Blood

Malani’s work is influenced by her experiences as a refugee of the Partition of India. She places inherited iconographies and cherished cultural stereotypes under pressure. Her point of view is unwaveringly urban and internationalist, and unsparing in its condemnation of a cynical nationalism that exploits the beliefs of the masses. Hers is an art of excess, going beyond the boundaries of legitimized narrative, exceeding the conventional and initiating dialogue. Characteristics of her work have been the gradual movement towards new media, international collaboration and expanding dimensions of the pictorial surface into the surrounding space as ephemeral wall drawing, installation, shadow play, multi projection works and theatre.

family

В этом произведении изображена комната, за столом которой сидят 5 человек. Это Леви ван Велув, его отец, мать, брат и сестра. Помещение выполнено в виде инсталляции в натуральную величину (4 x 2,5 x 2,5 м), в которой все, включая самих членов семьи, покрыто 20 000 тёмно-коричневыми деревянными блоками. (без каких-либо цифровых манипуляций) На первый взгляд все мирно сидят за столом, образ идеальной семьи. Однако эта группа фигур расположена в абстрактной среде, неузнаваемой и, следовательно, далекой от реальности. Тускло-светлые и темные цвета преобладают в этой работе – клаустрофобия и мрачность, источающая чувство одиночества. Неловкая тишина и темный цвет предполагают некомфортные скрытые напряжения и эмоции. Бесконечное повторение деревянных блоков символизирует попытки ван Велюва получить контроль над своим положением в семейной структуре.

Edoardo Tresoldi

Opera
Opera è l’installazione permanente di arte pubblica sul lungomare di Reggio Calabria, promossa e commissionata dal Comune e dalla Città Metropolitana. Opera nasce per celebrare la relazione contemplativa tra il luogo e l’essere umano attraverso il linguaggio architettonico classico e la trasparenza della Materia Assente, espressa tramite la rete metallica. L’architettura aperta offre un nuovo monumento attraversabile e completamente fruibile a cittadini e visitatori. L’installazione è un monumento alla contemplazione attraverso cui il luogo definisce ulteriormente se stesso. Tresoldi gioca con la grammatica dell’architettura classica e la trasparenza per ricercare nuove poetiche visive in dialogo con il paesaggio circostante e i visitatori. Le colonne, archetipi fondanti del retaggio culturale occidentale, compongono una cornice aulica che conferisce al parco un’ulteriore chiave di lettura.

“I try to examine how my surroundings are perceived and remembered. To do this, I listen to a whisper from the objects within my surroundings. I attempt to have an intimate, private dialogue with the world, trying to concretely present the way things approach me, by using other mediums. To ask what an objects means to me is like asking what being I am. I have consistently experienced my surrounding objects from the perspective of life, growth, and decline, which lends vitality to my work.”

Casa Atlântica
La oficina de arquitectura Zaha Hadid Architects reveló el diseño de su primer proyecto brasileño, un edificio residencial de lujo conocido como Casa Atlântica, que se localizará en la Avenida Atlântica en Copacabana, Río de Janeiro. El edificio que contará con 11 pisos, incluye una fachada cuya imagen parece ser una espina con amplios balcones y una piscina en la cubierta. De acuerdo con la oficina de arquitectura de la famosa arquitecta Zaha Hadid: “Las formas naturales de las colinas y playas de Río de Janeiro genera una cualidad elástica y maleable dentro del tejido urbano de la ciudad, al momento que el dinamismo de Copacabana –con su energía y ritmo– hace de éste un de los espacios públicos más importantes de la ciudad”

Guintche
This piece derives from a person I drew as a memento of a concert. I called it Guintche and meanwhile it grew, acquired self-life, autonomy, rebelled. Guintche is a word in creole, cape-verdean spoken language. more
