This volume collects recent works by the French conceptualist known for his site-specific installations involving stripes--on land, air and sea. From New York’s Guggenheim Museum to Beijing’s Temple of Heaven, the Venice Architecture Biennale and the gardens of Versaille, Buren’s interventions create amazing, complex appropriated spatial structures.
The two artists are the joint creators of the site specific work "A sei mani", 2018, set in the stalls of the San Gimignano ex-theatre-come-gallery space managed by Galleria Continua. The fruit of the collaboration is a large-scale installation which reconfigures the space via huge sheets of iron mesh, held taught by stainless steel tensioners against the backdrop of the 8.7 cm wide black and white stripes of the flooring, and a ceiling studded with points of light. This first joint work is revealed at the end of the exhibition which is structured as a dialogue between the artistic expertise of the two maestros: since their earliest works both have explored time and space".00Exhibition: Galleria Continua, San Gimignano, Italy (26.05.-14.10.2018).
