Book excerpt: The first true monograph on the work of celebrated French conceptual artist and sculptor Bernar Venet Bernar Venet is one of France's most celebrated living artists. Having emerged from the late 1960s avant-garde scene in New York, Venet developed a personal aesthetic based on an innovative use of mathematics and science, where control, chance, and chaos converge to form a fine equilibrium while investigating their relationship with the environment. Conversant in many media, Venet is mostly known for his monumental outdoor sculptures in major cities worldwide and, in fall 19, his Arc Majeur is due for completion at a site in Belgium - at almost 200 feet in height (60 metres), Venet's sculpture will be taller than New York's Statue of Liberty.

Book excerpt: Bernar Venet (b. 1941, France) is a master of contemporary conceptual art who has worked in all media, from painting and sculpture to film, music and ballet. In his early work, Venet sought to distill art, to strip it of aesthetic or expressive content, and to reestablish it as purely “conceptual.” He withdrew from the art world in 1971, fulfilling a promise he had made four years prior to stop producing new work once he perceived that his term was up. After a six-year hiatus, the artist reemerged, and over the next thirty years produced a vast body of work in diverse media. This monograph, complete with over 300 illustrations, addresses the struggle of aesthetic and intellectual forces at play in contemporary art through the work of one of its foremost practitioners.Today, Venet’s sculptures–massive iron structures in three categories: lines and angles, arcs, and “indeterminate” lines–are exhibited in museums and public spaces across the world. These forms, whether striking out independently into the air, leaning against a château, curving upward from the earth, or twisting arbitrarily around themselves or each other, stand at the threshold between the physical and the abstract, between the material and the purely geometric–testing the liminal spaces between art, world, and mind.

Book excerpt: One of France's most uniquely compelling artists, Bernar Venet has devoted the last two decades to an investigation of meaning and form in sculpture. Venet was trained as a painter but quickly became involved with conceptual art, experimenting with mathematical and aesthetic principles in a variety of media, particularly sculpture. In this illustrated book, critic Carter Ratcliff provides an illuminating look at the complex relationship between form, language, and meaning in Venet's recent work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If it is not surprising how many mediums Bernar Venet has worked in, from sculpture to painting to photography to sound to furniture, it is surprising how many he has used in performance. From the first moments of "Performance dans les détritus" in 1961 through sound compositions corresponding to and implicating his visual work, to a ballet for which he wrote the music, created the choreography and designed both the set and costumes, Venet has been omnivorous, recording mathematical poems on vinyl, the engines of the Concorde on CD and finally the sounds of the creation of his own sculpture. In 2004, Venet had three simultaneous solo shows in New York City, two at the Robert Miller and Jim Kempner galleries and a third along the Park Avenue Mall, where his large-scale Indeterminate Line pieces were installed. In 2005 he was named Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur, France's highest decoration.

Book excerpt: The huge steel sculptures of the French sculptor Bernar Venet (born 1941) seem both monumental and at the same time filigree. Mathematical questions serve as the foundations of Venet's art that is conceptual in origin. Since the 1980s, it is the line with which he addresses the phenomena of time, space and movement that has occupied him. Whether as straight line, angle, segment of a circle or (indeterminate line), the hardness and heaviness of the material is transformed into an astounding softness and lightness every time.

Book excerpt: Mac Lyon Exposition " Bernar Venet, rétrospective 1961-2018 " 21 septembre 2018-06 janvier 2019 Commissaire : Thierry Raspail A l'initiative de Thierry Raspail, le mac Lyon présente un ensemble inédit et exceptionnel de plus de 170 oeuvres de Bernar Venet, des premières performances, dessins, diagrammes, peintures, jusqu'aux photographies, oeuvres sonores, films et sculptures, retraçant ainsi 59 années de création (1959-2018). Rétrospective la plus complète jamais réalisée, elle a pour objet d'examiner toutes les étapes qui conduisent, à l'orée des années 1960, un jeune artiste de 20 ans à " souhaiter retirer toute charge d'expression contenue dans l'oeuvre pour la réduire à un fait matériel ", puis à s'approprier l'astrophysique, la physique nucléaire et la logique mathématique, à interrompre cinq ans son activité pour opérer enfin un retour inattendu avec des toiles sur châssis. Suivront les oeuvres sonores, la poésie, puis les Lignes indéterminées, les Accidents, les dispersions, les Combinaisons aléatoires, jusqu'aux lignes indéfinies et courbes des sculptures monumentales en acier Corten. L'oeuvre protéiforme de Bernar Venet reste encore mal connue car elle est souvent exposée partiellement, en " périodes " ou selon une logique de support (les Goudrons, les sculptures en acier). Elle exige aujourd'hui d'être appréhendée dans son intégralité afin d'en cerner l'ampleur, la complexité, la poésie et l'évidence. Il convient d'en retracer le parcours afin de restituer au contexte qui l'a vu naître (l'apparition du happening en 1959, du Nouveau Réalisme, de Fluxus et de l'Ecole de Nice dans les années 1960, " l'invention " de l'art minimal et conceptuel aux Etats- Unis où Bernar Venet s'installe en 1966), la pertinence et le haut degré de création. C'est l'objet de cette rétrospective. Dès son plus jeune âge, Bernar Venet montre des affinités avec l'art. Dans les années 1960, il se rend à New York où, pendant les cinquante années suivantes, il explore peinture, poésie, film, et performance. ? Il entreprend alors une radicalisation sans précédent de l'expérience artistique et de la production esthétique. Découragé par les conventions de l'art français et fasciné par Marcel Duchamp et le formalisme américain, il est reconnu dès les années 1970 comme l'une des figures majeures de l'art conceptuel.
