{"product_id":"66144-ugo-rondinone","title":"Ugo Rondinone","description":"Ugo Rondinone's exhibition \"the water is a poem unwritten by the air \/ no. the earth is a poem unwritten by the fire\" revolves around the theme of transformation. In a captivating confrontation between the historic rooms and the collection of the Petit Palais in Paris, Rondinone presents three sculptural ensembles and a monumental video installation, exploring the spiritual dimension of the elements. While the first ensemble, in the form of trapeze artists painted with a cloudy sky and suspended beneath opulent ceiling frescoes, emphasizes the fleeting connection between air and water, the second group of sculptures consists of seated and resting dancers made of wax and earth collected from all seven continents. The centerpiece, the film installation \"burn to shine,\" is enclosed within an imposing, cylindrical structure of charred black wood and shows the body in motion. Inspired by John Giorno's poem \"You Got To Burn To Shine,\" dancers and musicians gathered around a fire in the desert from sunset to sunrise seek union with nature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUGO RONDINONE (*1964, Brunnen, Switzerland) is considered one of the most important voices of his generation. The New York-based artist conceives meditations on nature and the human condition. In doing so, he develops an organic vocabulary of forms in sculpture, painting, video, and performance. His works exude both pathos and humor and directly address the most pressing questions of our time.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45526291841288,"sku":"9783775756426","price":40.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775756426_6209e61b-3682-43ca-9114-f8a218066cac.jpg?v=1744142746","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/66144-ugo-rondinone","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
