Summary:
S'exprimant principalement par la sculpture et le dessin, Stephen Talasnik crée des paysages architecturaux fantastiques, précis et détaillés, qui donnent à voir de grandes étendues d'univers inconnus qui semblent exister hors de l'espace et du temps et qui invitent le spectateur à explorer les espaces de mondes imaginaires. Le livre inclus de nombreuses réproductions en format panoramique, avec des textes par Andreas Schalhorn et Michael Sorkin. Publié pour accompagner l'exposition qui s'est tenue à Battat Contemporary, Montréal, du 7 septembre au 23 octobre, 2010. Working primarily within the media of sculpture and drawing, Stephen Talasnik produces sprawling, fantastical, architectural landscapes. Executed with detail and precision, these works open up unexpected and unfolding worlds, which seem to exist outside of defined time and space. Within these worlds, viewers are invited to imagine endless spatial and fictive possibilities. The book includes panoramic reproductions of drawings and sculptural installations, alongside essays by Andreas Schalhorn and Michael Sorkin. Published to accompany the exhibition held at the Battat Gallery, Montréal, September 7 to October 23, 2010.
