Summary:
Avec cette installation de Yinka Shonibare, le visiteur est invité à pénétrer dans un labyrinthe qui évoque les parcours galants des jardins à la française rococo. Il surprendra trois groupes d'amants où l'on reconnaît des tableaux peints pour la marquise du Barry par Jean Honoré Fragonard moins de vingt ans avant la Révolution française : «La Lettre d'Amour», «L'Amant couronné», «La Poursuite» (1771-1773). Leurs vêtements aristocratiques ont été réalisés avec ces cotonnades «wax» que l'industrie textile européenne destinait à l'Indonésie et qui ont été largement adoptés en Afrique de l'Ouest. Aujourd'hui elles symbolisent, par leur fantaisie exubérante, le continent africain. L'artiste souligne avec humour et acuité la frivolité insouciante d'une société qui avait bâti sa prospérité sur l'exploitation coloniale et l'esclavage et qui se trouvera bientôt condamnée à la décapitation.

Summary:
Né au Danemark, Eliasson travaille aujourd hui à Berlin. Il reconstitue dans l'espace de la galerie les fragments d'une contrée lointaine et transforme en sculptures des sensations immatérielles ou des phénomènes invisibles. Une simple ouverture circulaire au plafond d'une galerie de Los Angeles, par exemple, suffit à donner l'illusion d'un pâle soleil scandinave et à fabriquer un cadran solaire géant, évoquant à la fois les découpes architecturales de Gordon Matta-Clark et l'oculus du Panthéon de Rome. Les ouvres sereines et magnifiques d'Eliasson, inspirées par les thèmes de la nature, de la solitude et de l'introspection, ont été présentées dans les grandes manifestations internationales d'art contemporain, dont la Biennale de Venise en 1999. Dans son essai, la conservatrice Madeleine Grynsztejn étudie la démarche singulière d un artiste qui mêle l'innovation technologique à son art. Le critique et conservateur Daniel Birnbaum s'entretient avec l'artiste de l'implantation des ouvres et de leur environnement immédiat, dans et à l'extérieur du musée. Dans «Focus», le théoricien de l'architecture Michael Speaks se penche sur l'intervention d'Eliasson «Green river» (1998), qu'il compare au film tourné par Antonioni en 1964, «Le Désert rouge». L'artiste a choisi un extrait de L'Évolution créatrice d'Henri Bergson (1907) qui traite de notre rapport subjectif et visuel à la nature, thème également central de son art. Les écrits d'Olafur Eliasson rassemblent un essai sur le plus banal des sujets, le temps qu il fait, et une lettre ouverte intitulée «Chers tous», adressée à tous les spectateurs de ses ouvres sensuelles et sophistiquées.

Summary:
Claus Bury began his career as a jeweler, and the architectural sculpture he's been making since 1979 retains the rounded shapes, balance and smooth finish of his first trade. High Tide, Low Tide tracks Bury's most recent accomplishments, and, for the first time, includes excerpts from his sketchbooks and journals. Pages detailing his recent travels in Yucatan, Mexico appear alongside black-and-white photographs of Mayan temples. Photographs of Bury's farm works, made of bales of hay, show the influence of the Mayans' iconic geometric purity. Other materials illuminate the artist's latest curved and boned structures, many wooden, by comparing them to ships. And the production of his largest work to date, the 2006 "Bitterfeld Arch," a multi-story steel bridge to nowhere, is documented from the ground up--eight months from start to ribbon-cutting--and contrasted with the "Greenhouse for Thoughts," a 2005 wooden installation shaped like a house frame, with a forest of studs where the walls would be. Though Bury was trained in Germany and is based there, he has taught at RISD, won an NEA grant, and seen his work shown at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

Summary:
Volume number 10 in the Conversation Series with the influential museum director, curator, writer and conversationalist Hans Ulrich Obrist, is given over to an intensive talk with the important German conceptual artist, Thomas Demand, who constructs precise environments out of paper maquettes, which are then photographed to haunting effect. Topics include concepts and rules of operation, the reconstruction and reverberation of history, work processes, studio realities and significant exhibitions of recent years. This wide-ranging conversation, modestly illustrated with black-and-white images, is as intelligent as it is revealing, giving the reader an unprecedented glimpse into the minds of two of the most brilliant players on the international art scene. Demand lives between Berlin and New York, where a retrospective of his work was shown at The Museum of Modern Art in 2005. Hans Ulrich Obrist is the Co-Director of the Musee d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, as well as the Serpentine Gallery, London, where he lives and works.

Summary:
"People make too much of architecture. I have a running quarrel with architects who overestimate architecture. Reality is at eye-level with people walking down the street." Born in 1923 in Budapest, Hungary, Yona Friedman is widely considered one of the greatest utopian visionary architects of the twentieth century. Currently based in Paris, he is just as much a sociologist as a designer of buildings, more concerned with the way people interact with their environments than monumental statements by an ego-centric creator. In this illuminating talk with The Conversation Series editor Hans Ulrich Obrist, he touches on the needs of the individual in heterogeneous urban societies, past and future projects, utopia, influences and metaphysics, revealing a wise and deeply-animated humanistic intellect. Known for his 1958 manifesto, L'Architecture mobile, Friedman's ideas have remained influential. His work was featured at the 2002 Documenta.

An idyll, which must always be read as a contrast to actual circumstances, is more than just a deceptive image. Does it perhaps have a regulating or even normative character? This publication presents a selection of works on the theme, divided into four sections focusing on the landscape, urban, private, and utopian variants of the idyll, which explore the issues surrounding its timeliness and present radicalization. There is always something more hidden in the individual works than a fleeting glance might first allow us to suppose.

Summary:
Colombian artist Doris Salcedo (b.1958) is one of today's most internationally respected South American sculptors. Inspired as much by poetry and philosophy as by the affecting material qualities of sculpture, Salcedo subtly and painstakingly transforms everyday household objects and garments - symbols of a vanished existence and of the human tragedies that are its cause. In Atrabiliaros (1991-6) abandoned shoes of "disappeared" Colombian people, half-concealed behind membranes of animal fibre, become ghost-like symbols of mourning. In Salcedo's ongoing untitled works, wooden furnishings, worn by long use and filled with concrete, mutely evoke the lives they once served. American art critic Nancy Princenthal surveys Salcedo's work in terms of the universal themes it evokes, contextualized in discussion of contemporary scultural practice. New York-based poet and curator Carlos Basualdo discusses with the artist her formative influences, which range from the art of precedecessors such as Joseph Beuys to the writings of philosophers and poets. German literary critic Andreas Huyssen focuses on Salcedo's sculpture Unland: The Orphan's Tunic (1997). For the "Arist's Choice", Salcedo has selected two texts: an extract from "Otherwise than being" (1974) by philosopher Emmanuel Levinas, and poems by Paul Celan. The Doris Salcedo's observations on the human condition and its reflection in the work of poets, novelists and thinkers are discussed in conversation with art historian Charles Merewether.

In Atrabiliaros (1991-6) abandoned shoes of "disappeared" Colombian people, half-concealed behind membranes of animal fibre, become ghost-like symbols of mourning. In Salcedo's ongoing untitled works, wooden furnishings, worn by long use and filled with concrete, mutely evoke the lives they once served. American art critic Nancy Princenthal surveys Salcedo's work in terms of the universal themes it evokes, contextualized in discussion of contemporary scultural practice. New York-based poet and curator Carlos Basualdo discusses with the artist her formative influences, which range from the art of precedecessors such as Joseph Beuys to the writings of philosophers and poets. German literary critic Andreas Huyssen focuses on Salcedo's sculpture Unland: The Orphan's Tunic (1997). For the "Arist's Choice", Salcedo has selected two texts: an extract from "Otherwise than being" (1974) by philosopher Emmanuel Levinas, and poems by Paul Celan. The Doris Salcedo's observations on the human condition and its reflection in the work of poets, novelists and thinkers are discussed in conversation with art historian Charles Merewether.
