Summary:
Les œuvres d’Alexandre David prennent le plus souvent la forme de sculptures, d’installations et d’interventions dans l’espace public. Installées à l’intérieur ou à l’extérieur, ses constructions à grande échelle font référence à l’architecture. L’artiste aménage les espaces, construit des réceptacles ou des parcours dans lesquels déambule le spectateur. Se fondant sur l’expérience vécue et les espaces qu’elles habitent, les œuvres deviennent ainsi des objets fortement relationnels. Elles suscitent généralement l’intérêt et l’engouement du public, ainsi qu’un large consensus auprès des critiques et du monde de l’art. L’auteure Katrie Chagnon parcourt les vingt-cinq années de pratique de l’artiste. en mettant à profit ses compétences de théoricienne de l’art, son expérience dans le monde de l’édition en art contemporain et sa connaissance intime du travail de Alexandre David – dont elle suit le travail depuis plusieurs années –, elle propose une analyse approfondie des oeuvres du sculpteur tout en dégageant les diverses problématiques théoriques soulevées par l’approche de la sculpture et de l’installation. Faisant appel aux notions théoriques les plus courantes, elle nous conduit ainsi dans une plus vaste exploration des enjeux de la sculpture actuelle et de l’art d’aujourd’hui.

Summary:
Over the past 25 years, Antony Gormley, perhaps Britain's best-known living sculptor, has revitalized the human image in sculpture. He won the 1994 Turner Prize and has had solo exhibitions at the Whitechapel, Tate, and Hayward galleries, White Cube and The British Museum, and internationally at the Corcoran Gallery, Documenta and the Venice Biennale. His radical investigations of the body as a place of memory and transformation use his own corpus as subject, tool and material. Conflating figure and ground, inside and outside, the physical and the psychological, Gormley explores complex relationships between the city, its architecture and its people. This richly illustrated catalogue is filled with new, never-before-seen sculptural works--a series of figures in light-infused webs of steel, and the monumental steel-block "Space Station," 20 feet high. Photographer Gautier Deblonde also chronicles a major new public project, "Event Horizon," which sites some 30 sculptures on buildings across central London, dramatically altering the city skyline. An in-depth interview with Gormley explores the development of his new work, as well as his relationship to the artists who have inspired him and to his contemporaries in the field of figurative sculpture.
