English below Michael Sailstorfer Knoten Wie Wolken N�s Como Nuvens A Fortes Vila�a inaugura sua programa��o de 2010 com a primeira exposi��o individual do alem�o Michael Sailstorfer no Brasil. Em Knoten Wie Wolken, N�s Como Nuvens, o jovem artista apresenta uma grande instala��o feita com dezenas de c�maras de ar, uma s�rie de esculturas de alum�nio em forma de n�s e um filme em 16 mm. Em N�s como nuvens, Sailstorfer utiliza-se de dezenas de grandes c�maras de ar de borracha preta, entrela�adas em n�s de duas e tr�s camadas e suspensas como �nuvens negras�. Neste trabalho, desenvolvido especialmente para o espa�o do Galp�o, Sailstorfer retoma o uso de materiais industriais caracter�stico de sua obra. Mas se na vida cotidiana estes pneus estariam em movimento constante e em permanente desgaste, aqui eles ganham o ar, ficam em estado de permanente suspens�o. A oposi��o entre movimento e in�rcia tamb�m permeia o grupo de esculturas presentes na exposi��o. Nestes trabalhos, o artista toma como ponto de partida diferentes n�s feitos com cordas grossas. Utilizando-se de moldes, ele substitui o material que d� origem �s formas � das cordas, pelo alum�nio fundido. O n�, male�vel em sua ess�ncia, ganha rigidez na escultura. S�o n�s que n�o podem mais se desfazer, formas escult�ricas fechadas, que encerram uma id�ia. O filme mostra um galp�o cujas paredes est�o em permanente estado de expans�o e retra��o, como se v�ssemos um pr�dio inteiro respirando. Sailstorfer filmou a explos�o deste galp�o em alta velocidade, um recurso que resulta num efeito c�mera lenta quando vemos o filme projetado em velocidade normal. Em seguida, ele removeu as partes do filme em que ver�amos o pr�dio explodir e editou os movimentos de expans�o e retra��o numa sequ�ncia de repeti��es. Se a simplicidade das formas arquitet�nicas revela um pensamento escult�rico por tr�s da c�mera, as rela��es temporais de movimento e suspens�o estabelecem tamb�m um di�logo frut�fero com os outras obras em exposi��o. Em 2009, Michael Sailstorfer teve uma exposi��o individual no PS1 MOMA, New York. Participou de in�meras coletivas internacionais importantes como New York The Quick and the Dead, no Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, em 2009; Made in Germany, Kestnergesellschaft, Kunstverein, Sprengel Museum, Hannover, em 2007; Still Life: Art, Ecology and the Politics of change, Sharjah Biennial; Bienal de Moscow em 2007; Trienal de Yokohama, em 2005, e Bienal de Liverpool em 2004. No Brasil, Sailstorfer participou da coletiva inaugural do Galp�o Fortes Vila�a, a mostra God is Design, em 2007. Michael Sailstorfer Knoten Wie Wolken [Knots Like Clouds] Fortes Vila�a is starting off its 2010 schedule of exhibitions with the first solo show by German artist Michael Sailstorfer in Brazil. In Knoten Wie Wolken [Knots Like Clouds] the young artist presents a large installation made up of dozens of tire inner tubes, a series of aluminum sculptures in the form of knots, and a 16-mm film. In Knots Like Clouds, Sailstorfer uses dozens of large black inner tubes intertwined in knots and suspended at different levels like �black clouds.� In this work, developed especially for the Galp�o�s space, Sailstorfer has gone back to using the industrial materials characteristic of his oeuvre. But if in daily life these tires would be in constant movement and undergoing continuous wear, here they have taken to the air, in a state of permanent suspension. The opposition between movement and inertia also pervades the group of sculptures present at this show. The artist has based these artworks on different knots tied in thick ropes. Through the use of molds, he has substituted the material � the ropes � that gave rise to the form. The knot, an essentially malleable object, gains rigidity as aluminum sculpture. With no possibility of ever being untied, these knots are now closed sculptural forms, giving fixed embodiment to an idea. For its part, the film shows a warehouse whose walls are continuously expanding and contracting, as though we were watching the entire building breathe. Sailstorfer filmed the explosion of this warehouse at high speed, a technique that results in a slow-motion effect when we watch the film projected at normal speed. He then removed the parts of the film in which we would see the building explode, and edited the movements of expansion and contraction to create a repetitive sequence. While the simplicity of the architectural forms evinces a sculptural thinking behind the camera, the temporal relations of movement and suspension also establish a productive dialogue with the other artworks in the exhibition. In 2009, Michael Sailstorfer held a solo show at PS1 MoMA, New York. He has participated in countless important international group exhibitions such as The Quick and the Dead, at Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, in 2009; Made in Germany, at Kestnergesellschaft, the Kunstverein Hannover, and Sprengel Museum Hannover, in 2007; Still Life: Art, Ecology and the Politics of Change, the Sharjah Biennial; the Moscow Biennial in 2007; the Yokohama Triennial, in 2005; and the Liverpool Biennial in 2004. In Brazil, Sailstorfer participated in Galp�o Fortes Vila�a�s inaugural group show God Is Design, in 2007. |
