The Sky over Nine Columns
Heinz Mack has developed a genuine language of light and colour since the 1950s and is a leading exponent of kinetic art. The concept of ‘Light Stele’, to which ‘The Sky Over Nine Columns’ refers, was first formulated by Mack in the late 1950s in his Sahara Project. His works in public spaces – whether in urban settings or nature – are always conceived as objects for light: “Light is decisive for my art. As far as light is concerned, I want to go to the limits of the possible.” (Heinz Mack)

chromo sapiens
Icelandic artist Hrafnhildur Arnardóttir / Shoplifter has transformed a warehouse in Giudecca into a multi-sensory, cavernous environment with a cacophonous amount of her signature material, synthetic hair. Color, sound and irresistible textures guide visitors through three distinct chambers provoking an immersive experience of visual and auditory stimuli.

Carlos Cruz-Diez’s artistic proposal is based on eight research projects that reveal the myriad ways in which color behaves: Couleur Additive [Additive Color], Physichromie, Induction Chromatique [Chromatic Induction], Chromointerférence, Transchromie, Chromosaturation, Chromoscope, and Couleur dans l’espace [Color in Space].

Autobiography
Autobiography is an abstract meditation on aspects of self, life and writing, a non-linear approach to a life story refracting both remembered pasts and speculative futures. McGregor worked with dancers from his company in 2017 to create choreography from old writings, personal memories, pieces of art and music that have been important in his life. From these elements, 23 sections of movement material were created, reflecting the 23 pairs of chromosomes of the human genome. The choreographic events from the 23 sections were then fed into an algorithm based on McGregor’s genetic code.

chromosaturation
Cruz-Diez gilt als einer der wichtigsten Vertreter der zeitgenössischen Kunst. Er begann seine Farbforschung mit der kinetischen Bewegung der 1950er bis 1960er Jahre. Die Entwicklung seiner plastischen Reflexion hat unser Verständnis von Farbe erweitert und gezeigt, dass die Wahrnehmung des chromatischen Phänomens nicht mit Form verbunden ist. Cruz-Diez konzipierte diesen Satz in räumlichen Strukturen, „Chromstrukturen“ oder Trägern für chromatische Ereignisse und führte zu dem, was wir als „Fisichromie“, „Transchromie“, „Chromatische Induktion“, „Additive Farbe“ und „ Chromosättigung “.

Estudioso de los orígenes y efectos ópticos del color, Cruz-Diez fundamenta su propuesta en el color, concebido como una realidad autónoma que se modifica en el tiempo y en el espacio real, sin ayuda de la forma y aún, sin necesidad de soporte. Según su perspectiva, el color depende del movimiento del espectador frente a la obra y conlleva una experiencia participativa.

Gloria
Oliver Herring’s stunning sculptural portrait Gloria (2004) was a hit at the recent international art fair Art Basel Miami Beach. Created from thousands of fragmented digital chromogenic prints, this lifelike and expressive construction exists at the intersection of photography and sculpture and between realism and abstraction.
