One of the central tenets of Heinzmann’s work lies in revisiting painting’s Western tradition with both of its prime historical momentums in view: painting as the superior medium for showing the world; and, after it had achieved its momentous triumph in retreating to its own means, painting as the field for a powerful interaction of form, color, texture, surface, after the rupture of abstraction. Heinzmann’s work revisits this epochal break and harnesses it into a dichotomy that his art elegantly puts into play.  His works with pigment, for example, display that powdery dust, they exhibit it in its material concreteness, as one of the many specimens of matter that make up our world; but they also transform it into chromatic fields, exploring its wide yet subtle palette, letting color perform as it should after it has been freed of the burdens of representation.</i><a href="https://www.perrotin.com/artiste-Thilo_Heinzmann-151.html"><i> (text taken from here)</i></a><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcmfCqp3xkid6AWuGzH1s1DoSjM7haa9zuGzC09x5ICxgUwqYZkRtjjcDng3f94PgW0ehYAKJvDfuxAadp_4k5PghpMa3KT4jCuYB87Q56CPSPVKi8CK_aJp8QNB4cUxwjbMr70fTSFlg_/s1600/YHBHS2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="570" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcmfCqp3xkid6AWuGzH1s1DoSjM7haa9zuGzC09x5ICxgUwqYZkRtjjcDng3f94PgW0ehYAKJvDfuxAadp_4k5PghpMa3KT4jCuYB87Q56CPSPVKi8CK_aJp8QNB4cUxwjbMr70fTSFlg_/s1600/YHBHS2.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">----------------</div>

They created works predicated on the extrasensory potential of light by using the space within and around it as an immersive frame, heightening the viewer’s awareness of the mind-body experience. “CLEAR” imagines a continuation of this narrative, suggesting astral projection—leaving one’s physical body to inhabit an “astral” one—as an endgame. <b>The exhibition explores apertures both material and conceptual, as well as the rich sensibilities that visualize the science and fantasy of aesthetic experience and popular imagination.</b><br /><br /><a href="http://www.gagosian.com/exhibitions/clear--july-25-2014/exhibition-images"><i><b>via Gagosian</b></i></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">---------</div>

The central work in the first solo exhibition at the museum by the Danish-Icelandic artist is a huge, sitespecific project that reverses the relation between nature and art.  <b>The transitions between inside and outside, culture and staged nature, become fluid and transitory – and the progress of the visitor through the museum becomes a central issue. </b>Eliasson’s exhibition is an enhancement of our gaze at the museum, at ourselves and at the world.  Olafur Eliasson's exhibition at Louisiana engages with the museum’s unique identity. The exhibition consists of three sections that each thematize the encounter between Eliasson’s art and Louisiana as a place. The central work, Riverbed (2014), is based on the unique connection between nature, architecture and art that characterizes the museum. Transforming the entire South Wing into a rocky landscape, Eliasson focuses on inhabiting space in a new way and inserts new patterns of movement into the museum.<a href="http://en.louisiana.dk/exhibition/olafur-eliasson"><b> (via here)</b></a></i><br /><br />2. <i><b>Staircase image</b>, source currently unknown.</i><br /><br />3.<i> <b>YOU by Urs Fisher :</b>"Urs Fischer has reduced Gavin Brown’s Enterprise to a hole in the ground, and it is one of the most splendid things to have happened in a New York gallery in a while. Experientially rich, buzzing with energy and entropy, crammed with chaos and contradiction, and topped off with the saga of subversion that is central both to the history of the empty-gallery-as-a-work-of-art but also to the Gavin Brown experience itself, this work is brimming with meaning and mojo. It was also a Herculean project.</i><br /><br /><i>In a very minimalist yet surreal and expressionistic way, <i>You</i>  makes space palpable. Initially the chasm dominates your vision and  takes over the room, like Magritte’s painting of a giant green apple  filling space. As your vision adjusts, your inner ear goes into high  gear as you realize that while standing at floor level you’re no longer  at the base of the gallery but halfway up the walls. The room transforms  into something unmoored, like a Tiepolo or Correggio painting. As you  survey everything from this unfamiliar perch, your eye takes over and  details come into focus. This I-can-see-everything realism echoes the  experience of paintings by Ingres and David.  "</i><br /><br /><a href="http://nymag.com/arts/art/reviews/41266/"><i>via here, in 2007. </i></a><br /><a href="http://martijnwinkler.nl/post/36216221800/you-by-urs-fischer-from-new-york-magazine-in"><i>image via here.</i></a><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">------------</div>
