Bøger af Eric de Chassey

Bridget Rileys Kunst speist sich aus dem Interesse der Künstlerin an Formen und Farben der Malereigeschichte, die sie von ihrer ursprünglichen Darstellungsfunktion trennt und so neue Klänge und Bedeutungen findet. Mit jeder Bildserie fügt sie ihrem Werk etwas hinzu - und in diesem Buch, bereits ihrem fünften bei Holzwarth Publications, begegnen wir den jüngsten Ergebnissen: Da sind die Intervals, bei denen sie breite horizontale Streifen in vergrauten Grün-, Violett-, Orange- und Türkistönen auf weißem Grund übereinander stellt. Die Anordnung folgt keiner mathematischen Regel: "Wenn klar geworden ist, dass es kein festes Prinzip hinter den Permutationen gibt", schreibt Éric de Chassey in seinem Essay, "können sich Geist und Auge auf die Harmonie des Gesamtbildes einlassen, die durch den Rhythmus der Veränderungen einzelner Elemente entsteht". Bilder der Serie Measure for Measure sind in ähnlichen Tönen gehalten, aber durch die Komposition in farbigen Kreisen haben sie einen luftigen, schwebenden Charakter, jede Farbe wirkt auch für sich allein. Diese neuen Arbeiten werden an allen drei Ausstellungsorten der Galerie Max Hetzler in Berlin zu früheren Leinwänden und Wandmalereien seit 1984 in Beziehung gesetzt. Hier zeigt sich, dass Rileys Werke immer eine Bilanz dessen sind, was sie bereits erreicht hat, und gleichzeitig Vorarbeiten für künftige Bilder.

The book presents a series of new works produced by Adel Abdessemed for the MAC's/Museum of Contemporary Arts in Grand-Hornu. The Algerian-born French artist Adel Abdessemed (b. 1971) works in a wide variety of media including animation, installation, performance, sculpture, and video; through his art he addresses contemporary themes and he reflects the bleak picture of the present day. His works, unsettling in their simultaneous beauty and raw reality, have made Abdessemed one of the most visible international artists of our time. This volume is composed of two distinct parts, each showcasing and examining one of two series of brand new, site-specific works created by Abdessemed for the Museum of Contemporary Arts in Grand-Hornu and the Musée d'Art Contemporain in Lyon.
