LEANDRO ERLICH ‘The Heart of Water’

LEANDRO ERLICH ‘The Room (Surveillance II)’ 2006-2018

LEANDRO ERLICH ‘The Heart of Water’

Qattara Oasis 

Al Ain, Abu Dhabi, UAE 

www.abudhabiart.ae

Abu Dhabi Art invites three established and well-known artists to create site-specific works in historic sites in Al Ain, one of them being Leandro Erlich who brings his work Nest, a cylindrical structure made with local stone that contains the glass sculpture of a cloud, to Abu Dhabi. This time taking inspiration from the Beehive Tombs of Jebel Hafeet while maintaining the ethereal, ineffable and immaterial sensation of a cloud, the work is a reminder of the sacred beyond the particularities of faith and time.

SUN YUAN & PENG YU ‘The World is a Fine Place for You to Fight for’

solo show

MACRO ASILO

Via Nazionale 194, Roma, Italy

An installation that includes 15 taxidermy animals including wild boar and lions and that was originally exhibited at Galleria Continua San Gimignano with actors who intermittently changed the contents of the installation from animals to metal kitchen cabinets. At Macro Asilo the public are invited on Sunday 1 December 2019 to bring a book to read in the chair in the center of the installation. The immense power of the stationary animals evoke an acute awareness of being a temporary protagonist within the fantastical world the installation creates.

24/11/2019 - 6pm Auditorium MACRO ASILO

Talk: '2003/2019 Le opere oltre il contesto

This talk will approach and discuss the importance of the experimental nature of contemporary art in Sun Yuan & Peng Yu’s projects from 2003 to 2019. The two artists recount their attempt to escape from a specific context in order to revive their expressive forms and methodologies that in turn enriches the sensory perception of their art, focusing on the subversion of the rules of reality and the “rules” of art itself.

ANTONY GORMLEY ‘Field for the British Isles’

Firstsite 

Colchester, UK 

firstsite.uk/event/antony-gormley-field 

Field for the British Isles, a work from 1993, is a key work in the Arts Council Collection that has come to Firstsite, the East of England’s contemporary visual arts organization. The work has toured the UK and been exhibited at a variety of locations such as Salisbury Cathedral, The Baltic in Gateshead and Tate Britain. At each venue, the composition of the 40,000 tiny terracotta figures is adapted to the space, resembling a dense carpet of tiny faces looking up to the viewer. At Firstsite, the figures fill the rear of the building as well as the main gallery spaces, evoking an endless and all encompassing mass of figures.
