Après Joana Vasconcelos l’an dernier, c’est Giuseppe Penone, figure de l’arte povera, qui a été invité à installer l’art contemporain à Versailles. Les arbres en bronze de cet amoureux de la nature investissent avec bonheur les jardins dessinés par Le Nôtre.

Japanese artist Takashi Kuribayashi’s Trees is a quiet but powerful meditation on memory, ecology, and urban intervention. Created from the remains of a tree felled for redevelopment, the installation reconstructs its form using transparent glass boxes.

The tree is present and not present, living and decomposing, whole yet fragmented. It holds a memory of the natural world, framed—literally—within a system of control. Kuribayashi’s work has long explored boundaries between visible and invisible worlds. As he once stated: “The truth resides in places that are invisible. Once you become aware of a world out of sight, you begin to live differently.” [visual art, installation, art, nature]".

Ces arbres fantomatiques de l’artiste japonais Takashi Kuribayashi ont été crées pour s’intégrer à l’exposition Vision of Nature: Lost & Found in Asian contemporary Art, vouée à célébrer la nature et sa connexion à l’art. C’est à la Pao Galleries of the Hong Kong Arts Centre que flottait jusqu’en janvier 2012 cette forêt poétique et [...]Lire la suite…
