Book excerpt: A Tiré du site Internet des Presses du réel: "Poet Harry Burke recounts an extreme and barely legal experiment led by artist Raphael Hefti in a mountain village in Switzerland in 2008 (artist's book). In the art practice of Raphael Hefti, manufacturing processes are pushed to extreme limits to effect epic material transformations. These are guided accidents in industrial alchemy that test the points of failure in everyday materials. But in 2008, while working on a new project in a remote mountain village in Switzerland, a different type of failure transpired. In this publication, writer and poet Harry Burke retraces the story of over two dozen dubiously acquired explosives, thirty three firemen, an arms manufacturer, a bomb squad, an international travel ban, a thick dossier of police reports and a totaled Benz. Raphael Hefti (born 1978 in Biel, Switzerland, lives and works in London and Zurich) has a singular approach to experimentation with materials: fascinated with processes and often inventing his own, he blurs boundaries between natural and industrial, abstract, and representational. He frequently collaborates with technicians and scientists to reveal unexpected beauty in ordinary materials, referring to processes that otherwise remain invisible but which form the crucial substructure of contemporary culture. Recent solo exhibitions by Hefti include CAPC Bordeaux (2013), White Cube Gallery, London (2013) and Camden Arts Centre, London (2012). He was also included in the group exhibitions "Flex-Sil Reloaded" at the Kunsthalle St. Gallen (2013), "How to Work (More For) Less" at the Kunsthalle Basel (2011), "Minimal Myth" Museum Boijmans in Rotterdam (2012), and in 2012 he won the Swiss Art Award national prize."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive monograph on Swiss artist Raphael Hefti is published on the occasion of a major solo exhibition at Kunsthalle Basel in October 2020. Over the last ten years, Hefti has created an astonishingly rich body of work consisting of sculptures and installations, performance and ?art-in-public-spaces.?00Industrial materials and manufacturing processes run like a thread through the artist?s practice. With a background in electrical engineering, industrial design, and photography, Hefti makes work based on our everyday world but focused on what is hardly noticed, the properties and possibilities of the material. He disrupts industrial process flows, developing work in close cooperation with employees of industrial production facilities.00This publication is structured as a captivating visualization of the artist complete body of work. Addressing the ground zero of Hefti?s art?material and process?diverse contributions by art researchers, fiction writers, and scientists shed light on the artist?s work and attempt to define a new interpretation. Ideas about sculpture and installation in contemporary art play a role?and so do notions such as error, risk and the finiteness of the universe. 00Exhibition: Kunsthalle Basel, Switzerland (09.10.2020 - 19.12.2020).

Book excerpt: 20 July - 26 August 2012. This exhibition focused on the experimental and ground-breaking films that Bruce Nauman made between 1967 and 1969 where the artist's own body is used as a template; an expressive instrument in motion and gesture to relentlessly question the human condition. For his 'Inside the White Cube' exhibition, Hefti made his largest 'Lycopodium' photogram to date, produced in three, six metre-long stretches.

Download or read book On Bramante written by Pier Paolo Tamburelli and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2022-05-10 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new interpretation of the work of Bramante, suggesting an agenda for contemporary architectural practice In On Bramante, architect Pier Paolo Tamburelli considers the work of the celebrated Italian Renaissance architect Donato Bramante and through this reappraisal suggests a possible agenda for current architectural practice. Bramante, Tamburelli argues, offers an excellent starting point to imagine a contemporary theory of space, to reflect on the relationship between architecture and politics, and to look back—with neither nostalgia nor contempt—at the tradition of Western classicism. Starting from a discussion of the difference in the work of Bramante in Milan (1481–1499) and Rome (1499–1514), Tamburelli highlights the peculiarities of Bramante’s architecture, especially in comparison to that of his predecessor Leon Battista Alberti and successor Andrea Palladio. This in turn opens up new possibilities for appreciating his spatial experiments, and to derive from Bramante’s abstraction and disassociation of form from function a revised theory of space for contemporary architecture. Such a theory might even advance a newfound political understanding of classicism, and a model—perhaps more valid now than ever before—for a public architecture. The text is bookended by a series of color photographic plates of Bramante’s works by photographer Bas Princen.

Lavishly illustrated with 223 colour illustrations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Digital Image Systems, Claus Gunti examines the antagonizing reactions to digital technologies in photography. While Thomas Ruff, Andreas Gursky and Jörg Sasse have gradually adopted digital imaging tools in the early 1990s, other photographers from the Düsseldorf School have remained faithful to film-based technologies. By evaluating the aesthetic and discursive preconditions of this situation and by extensively analyzing the digital work of these three photographers, this book shows that the digital turn in photography was anticipated by the conceptualization of images within systems, and thus offers new perspectives for understanding the »digital revolution«.
