Saraceno's dazzling installations synthesize science and art, architecture and art, industry and nature
Published with The Shed.
Argentinian installation artist Tomás Saraceno (born 1973) combines research on fossil fuel alternatives, the architecture of spider webs and aeronautical engineering to create large-scale interactive sculptures that look toward the future. Saraceno's interest in spiders is one of the defining features of his work: intrigued by their physical and philosophical structures of interconnectedness, he uses spiderwebs as the blueprint for many of his projects. The piece commissioned by The Shed for his largest-ever US exhibit follows in this tradition, combining spiderwebs with "the cosmic web" through an immersive experience.We publiceren alleen reviews die voldoen aan de voorwaarden voor reviews.
