Visual mediation
Eliasson constructions, at once eccentric and highly geometric, use multicolored washes, focused projections of light, mirrors, and elements such as water, stone, and moss to shift the viewer’s perception of place and self. By transforming the gallery into a hybrid space of nature and culture, Eliasson prompts an intensive engagement with the world and offers a fresh consideration of everyday life.

“I can get—for me—a far greater sense of ‘color’ through a well-planned and executed black-and-white image than I have ever achieved with color photography,”Ansel Adams
Roy Andersson
About Endlessness
La nueva película de Roy Andersson, una especie de secuela espiritual de A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence, está compuesta por una serie de viñetas narradas por una mujer joven desde un futuro indefinido: una pareja flota por una Colonia en ruinas; un padre se detiene a atar los cordones de los zapatos de su hija bajo la lluvia; un cura con crisis de fe busca ayuda de un psiquiatra que lo único que quiere es llegar a tomar el colectivo de vuelta a casa. La película, por la que Andersson ganó el León de Plata a Mejor Director en el último Festival de Venecia, es otra muestra de su talento para captar la esencia de la vida, transitando entre la comedia y el drama, entre la alegría y la tristeza. Y todo esto en apenas 76 encantadores minutos.

PHILIPPE JUSFORGUES
Philippe Jusforgues, nació en Mónaco en 1967, pero en la actualidad vive y trabaja en París; gusta de explorar el retrato a través de distintos medios de comunicación (fotografía, collage, dibujo…) su obra tiene la particularidad de envolvernos en un mundo surreal, donde lo fotografía vintage se entremezcla con la fotografía contemporánea, dando como resultado bizarras imágenes y dibujos donde nada es lo que aparenta ser.
FUJIKASA SATOKO
FLOW
Fujikasa ha affermato che il suo obiettivo è esprimere la forza vitale della natura – la vitalità del cambiamento costante – nel suo lavoro. Le sue fonti di ispirazione variano ampiamente: mostre di pittura barocca europea che ha visto da bambina, video della Serpentine Dance di Loie Fuller e fotografie dell’Antelope Canyon in Arizona. Il Portland Art Museum è orgoglioso di ospitare Flow # 1, una delle prime opere più ambiziose di Fujikasa.
LORI HERSBERGER
Geist No.15
“L’art de Lori Hersberger met l’accent sur l’opposition entre le monde de l’illusion et celui de la réalité, tout en faisant allusion à l’espace qui les sépare. En ce sens, ses œuvres sont à la fois sublimes et grotesques – une combinaison qui est également clairement exprimée dans ses expositions actuelles “Lori Hersberger

Albero macchina
Machine with Tree è una scultura cinetica che combina alberi morti con macchinari metallici. È progettato per utilizzare il centro di gravità dell’oggetto per ottenere un movimento in cui l’albero sembra galleggiare a mezz’aria. In Machine with Tree, un albero morto viene posizionato all’estremità di una lunga asta affilata sulla macchina. L’albero si muove lentamente avanti e indietro con i movimenti della macchina, come se fluttuasse a mezz’aria. Attraverso la sua creazione di movimenti artificiali e bizzarri controllati da macchinari, illustra una contemplazione malinconica delle cose strane e contraddittorie intrecciate dalla nostra realtà.

Urban Forms
Formes Urbaines, or Urban Forms, is the brainchild of photographer Xavier Delory, who states that the purpose of this ongoing project is “to study the recurrent characteristics of modern cities.” At first glance, the viewer considers whether the buildings in his images are real, though a prolonged study assures us that indeed, this is a commentary on the evolution of modern architecture.
DOUG AITKEN
Underwater Pavilions
Underwater Pavilions is artist Doug Aitken’s large-scale installation produced by Parley for the Oceans and presented in partnership with The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA). The work consists of three temporary underwater sculptures, floating beneath the ocean’s surface that swimmers, snorkelers, and scuba divers swim through and experience. Geometric in design, the sculptures create underwater spaces synthesizing art and science as they are constructed with carefully researched materials and will be moored to the ocean floor. Part of each structure is mirrored to reflect the underwater seascape and create a kaleidoscopic observatory for the viewer, while other surfaces are rough and rock-like. The environments created by the sculptures will constantly change with the currents and the time of day, focusing the attention of the viewer on the rhythm of the ocean and its life cycles.

3DESTRUCT
3Destruct is an immersive installation, a large semi transparent cube that generates light an sound, and as the visitor walks through, he loses his landmarks in this non-linear universe that destroys any spacial coherence.
Vincent Leroy
Bubbles in Canyon
Paris-based artist, Vincent Leroy, has taken his characteristic use of levitating orbs to bryce canyon in the USA. This conceptual project, titled ‘bubbles in canyon’ imagines a mass of transparent spheres suspended in rotation between the cliffs. The installation hopes to offer viewers the opportunity to contemplate nature through an optical effect.
