  • Loris Cecchini
    Goodman Gallery Loris Cecchini Biography Loris Cecchini was born in Milan in 1969 and moved to Siena in 1977, where he lived until 1989, earning a diploma at the city’s art school. He spent two years at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence, and then studied painting at the Accademia di Brera, Milan. He graduated in 1994 with a thesis on the films of Wim Wenders. He now lives between Prato and Berlin. Cecchini held his first solo show in Milan and participated in group shows at Galleria Continua in San Gimignano. He continued his work in photography and sculpture, and in 2001–02 produced his first spatial works of architectural-sculptural inspiration. In the exhibition catalogue for Cecchini’s show Dotsandloops, the critic Marco Bazzini comments that ‘If we were to imagine Cecchini’s deviation into another discipline, architecture would come to mind. The association arises from the constructive and deconstructive impulses that have made him stand out over the last decades.’ Cecchini is drawn to biomorphic forms, as well as to the relationship between the synthetic and the natural. These concerns can be clearly traced not only in the materials he has utilised (aluminium, Plexiglass, various types of plastics like PVC and PETG, mirrors, urethane rubber, optical lighting) but also in the methods of construction (moulding, welding, wiring, technical drawing, computer-generated draughting, and laser cutting) and in the intricate shapes and structures of his many sculptural works. The influence of technology is clear, but Cecchini appears to want to inhabit technology, to examine hi-tech objects and structures from the inside out in order to understand our relation to them.

    5'000'000'000 D’ANNÉES / Artistes PALAIS DE TOKYO / CHRISTIAN ANDERSSON [1973] Vit à Stokholm. A la fois sophistiquées et épurées, les installations de Christian Andersson jouent sur les apparences. Les rapports d’ombres et de lumière, de transparence ou de réflexion permettent à l’artiste de créer de véritables « pièges à perception ». Le spectateur est ainsi systématiquement confronté à un dispositif de détournement de nos a priori. D’apparence banale, Blind Spot (2003) est composé d’un projecteur illuminant d’un cercle le mur qui lui fait face. Le spectateur qui viendrait à passer entre le projecteur et le mur aura la surprise de constater que son ombre n’apparaît pas sur le cercle de lumière. A l’instar des vampires qui n’ont pas d’ombre, le visiteur est aspiré dans le champ de l’œuvre qui fait disparaître tous points de référence. > www.christianandersson.net/ Switch, 1999 1 : 1, 2004 Blind Spot, 2003 6 was 6 if, 2005 PALAIS DE TOKYO / ARTISTS UNKNOW Stephan Kobatsch [1975] Vit à Vienne.

Stephan Kobatsch travaille habituellement avec le groupe Mahony, alors que Saygel & Schreiber forment un groupe en eux-mêmes. Ces artistes ont travaillé ensemble pour la première fois à l’occasion de l’oeuvre Wrong Place Wrong Time. Wrong Place Wrong Time (2005) est une œuvre originale sous forme de plaisanterie. Les artistes ayant été engagés pour travailler sur l’installation d’une exposition sur la lumière au centre d’art contemporain ZKM à Karlsruhe, ils entassèrent des ampoules endommagées provenant d’une œuvre de Carsten Höller dans une poubelle rose en ne laissant qu’une ampoule fonctionner.
