Yoro Park – Site of Reversible Destiny
“The couple first fully explored Reversible Destiny in what is regarded as their seminal gallery piece, “The Mechanism of Meaning,” an ever-evolving manifesto-cum-artwork begun in 1963, comprising 80 panels that they refined and added to over decades, many of them high-concept diagrams and puzzles with instructions and text (“A Mnemonic Device for Forgetting,” “Think One, Say Two”), made primarily of acrylic and mixed media on canvas. In an accompanying précis to the work, which was exhibited at the Guggenheim in 1997, they prescribed “no more irretrievable disappearances” and declared death “old-fashioned.” Critical opinion differs on how seriously the pair, whose work is in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art and Paris’s Centre Pompidou, took the grandiose quest to end death. But if it was intended as metaphor, neither of them ever let on. Indeed, though Arakawa himself died at 73, in 2010, and Gins four years later, at the age of 72, defying death became the defining work of their lives.” Marie Doezema

液体図
展示スペースには12台の設置ユニットが並んでいました。各ユニットは、垂直ガラス管が取り付けられた、ステンレス鋼スタンド内の丸底フラスコで構成されていました。各フラスコは蒸留水で約4分の1が満たされていました。抵抗コイルがフラスコ内の空気を加熱すると膨張し、水をガラス管に押し上げました。空気が加熱されているときに水位が上昇し、冷却されるにつれてゆっくりと水位が下がり始めました。

Flüssigkeitsdiagramm

Zwölf Installationseinheiten standen im Ausstellungsraum. Jede Einheit bestand aus einem Rundkolben in einem Edelstahlständer, der mit einem vertikalen Glasrohr ausgestattet war. Jeder Kolben wurde etwa ein Viertel mit destilliertem Wasser gefüllt. Wenn die Widerstandsspule die Luft im Kolben erhitzte, dehnte sie sich aus und drückte das Wasser in das Glasrohr. Der Wasserstand stieg an, als die Luft erwärmt wurde, und begann langsam zu fallen, als sie abkühlte.

Trans-Natures ”é uma exploração poética da ligação entre natureza e artifício. Na continuação de uma abordagem iniciada no final dos anos 1990, ele se baseia na observação do reino vegetal e sua transposição imaginária para o mundo digital. Esta natureza artificial, cujas formas lembram vegetação rasteira, combina várias espécies de árvores, arbustos, ramos e folhagens. Seu desenvolvimento e formas são inspirados em “diagramas de árvore”, sistemas de organização de dados que utilizam o princípio de raízes, troncos e galhos. Essa natureza, com suas formas ora realistas, ora abstratas, é gerada ad infinitum por meio de software escrito por Claude Micheli. As plantas brotam ao acaso, florescendo e morrendo ao comando de vários “códigos morfogenéticos”. O jardim se renova e se transforma constantemente. Formas vegetais fluidas se desenrolam no espaço enquanto arborescências de galhos abrasivos crescem implacavelmente, parecendo às vezes explodir da tela. A obra brinca com o senso de limites espaciais de seus visitantes. Imerso em sua esfericidade envolvente, sua concepção de longe e de perto é reconfigurada, aberta ao infinito.

Structures infinies
Between the finite and the infinite, these mirror structures are reflecting the outside world until they are set in motion to unveil a moving and infinite interior. Hidden inside are superimposed diagrams reinterpreting certain theories or hypotheses related to our apprehension of the world. Between transcendental geometry, higher dimensions, finite and infinite, these structures arise as objects of reflection on what one understands, what one believes to understand and what one does not understand. The structure is thus referring to the finite physical structure that is encapsulating the infinity of intellectual structures created by the humankind.

Remnants

Remnants is an installation, comprised of two individual sculptures, Anatomy and Lacuna, which explores this evolving symbiosis between the mechanical and the biological become. Anatomy and Lacuna are constructed of aluminium, both containing areas of uncertain space. Anatomy contains a plane of black viscous matter and Lacuna, a black void, creating a tension between the two sculptures. The work draws on diagrammatic anatomical and architectural models, distorting scale and hijacking visual languages, creating an undetermined terrain where the purpose of our made objects is undefined.

LIQUID DIAGRAM
Twelve installation units formed a line across the exhibition space. Each unit consisted of a round-bottom flask in a stainles steel stand, with a vertical glass tube attached. Each flask was filled about a quarter-full with distilled water. When a resistance coil heated the air inside the flask, it expanded, forcing the water up into the glass tube. The level of the water rose when the air was being heated and began to drop slowly as it cooled down.

Turning Point
Isabel Nolan’s artwork utilizes textiles, steel rods, and primary colored paint to approach questions of anxiety, current events, and the human condition. Her work has a particularly erudite quality, with materials teased and propped to mimic symbolism and images in literature, historical texts, science, and art. Nolan’s work has been exhibited throughout her native Ireland and wider Europe, including at the Irish Museum of Modern Art and the Musée d’art modern de Saint Etienne. With her first solo exhibition in the United States fast approaching, artnet News caught up with the scholarly artist to hear about her early diagrams of brains and ideas she is currently entertaining for her next body of work.

Trace II

Trace II is a sculptural device that alludes to scientific discoveries and the experimental apparatus of science. It is essentially a mechanical computer that draws its analogue programme from a revolving plaster head. The carefully balanced mechanism slowly measures the topography of a cast human head and translates its undulations onto a rotating cylindrical surface. The result is an evolving topographical diagrammatic depiction that is truly unique every time.

Museum Jerez

Bewegungen und Gesten von Tänzern sind voller Ausdruck und Spannung. Tänzer bringen den faszinierten Betrachter durch die schwingende Bewegung ihrer Hüften, die dekorative Anordnung ihrer Finger und die sanfte Vibration der Zierrüschen in eine innere Welt der Erfahrung und Emotionen. Rhythmische und dynamische Musik versetzt den Zuschauer in eine Welt unglaublicher ästhetischer Gefühle, die alle Sinne erwecken und die Fantasie anregen… So sollte Architektur aussehen, die der Kultur des lebhaften Flamenco gewidmet ist. Standortmanagement und Gebäudeform spiegeln den Flamenco-Geist wider. Innen- und Außenräume des ISMOF-Gebäudes wurden durch die skulpturale Interpretation des Themas geschaffen. Das Bauen von Festkörpern reagiert auf unterschiedliche Höhen des Geländes – es steigt und fällt wie ein sinusförmiges Diagramm dynamischer Schallwellen. Im Erdgeschoss, das von Segelgewölben überdacht ist, befindet sich ein weitläufiger Platz – ein Vordergrund für das interne Bauprogramm. Raumflächen werden nur durch Glasscheiben unterteilt. Infolgedessen dringen innere und äußere Räume in Gewölbe ausdrucksstarker Vordächer ein.

NORMATIVE FLUIDITY

Graham BILLINGS: “Normative Fluidity” is a museum extension that explores the process of transposition between a series of light studies, diagrammatic implications of the “affect,” and their resultant three-dimensional forms and spaces. Diffraction of light through water is known as caustics; a process that was coupled with a camera obscura during my initial research.These light studies can be diagrammed with involute lines that generate governing geometries amplifying spatial expression and also compartmentalize space for programmatic elements. Through these spatial transpositions, the proposal mitigates the orthogonal forms found in the existing museum and its context, while respecting the initial light studies.

Cosmic Thing
Mexican deassemblage artist Damian Ortega creates suspended sculpture, diagrams and manuals brought to life, exposing the inner workings and mystery of products and concepts. In the 2003 Venice Biennale, Ortega acheived international acclaim with his breakout hit, “Cosmic Thing,” which reassembled a Volkswagon Bug, the populist car manufactured in his home country. With roots in cartooning and satire, Ortega’s tongue in cheek works exemplify his former craft and present new perspectives to commonplace items. Get a look at several of the artist’s most famous installations here on Hi-Fructose.
