We were all looking at Richard Serra


RICHARD SERRA Fernando Pessoa, 2007-2008 Weatherproof steel354 1/2 x 118 1/8 x 8 inches (900.4 x 300 x 20.3 cm)

The sculpture Fernando Pessoa (2007-08) is on view at the Britannia street Gallery, following Gagosian Gallery's presentation of two concurrent exhibitions of new work by Richard Serra in the fall 2008, which were Serra's first exhibitions in London since Weight and Measure was presented in the Duveen Galleries at the Tate Gallery in 1992. Born in 1939, Richard Serra is one of the most significant artists of his generation. His groundbreaking sculpture explores the exchange between artwork, site, and viewer. He has produced unparalleled large-scale, site-specific sculptures for architectural, urban and landscape settings. In the summer of 2008, he conceived Promenade, a course of five steel sculptural elements towering seventeen metres, for MONUMENTA at the Grand Palais in Paris. Other recent projects include the eight-part permanent installation The Matter of Time at the Guggenheim Bilbao (2005) and a survey exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art (2007). Work comes out of work, an exhibition of works on paper 1989-2008, was presented last yeat at the Kunsthaus Bregenz, Austria.

Pedro Cabrita Reis - obrigado


Last year I came across Pedro Cabrito Reis a portugese Sculptor and on google today i translated a bit of his biography...google told me to search for a better translation :
Pedro Cabrita Reis was born in Lisbon in 1956.
Having received wide international recognition, his work is crucial for the understanding of the new paradigm in sculpture that has come about since the middle of the 1980s.

I think you can see why!
Now I need to search for the new paradigm in sculpture!
Bit like the meaning of life.
Anyway reminded me of a holiday in Portugal where it was impossible to learn the language and I had to try and buy some batteries so I speant the whole holiday asking for quattro piege si tu parie not sure about the spelling but i did get the batteries by learning this parrot fashion...difficult language!
So yer man Padro Cabrito Reis check out the link and I attach a photo to whet your appetite whatever the new paradigm is I like it!
