Bernar Venet
Bernar Venet MEDIUM Sculpture NATIONALITY French LIFE DATES France, 1941 - Bernar Venet was born on April 20, 1941 in a small village in the French Alps. Encouraged by a local artist, he began drawing and painting at the age of 10. He studied for a year at the Municipal Art School of Nice in 1959 before becoming a stage designer at the Nice City Opera. While performing his national military service in Provence during 1961-63, he converted an attic of the local army reception center to a studio and produced his first mature works of art. Initially painting gestural works on the floor with his feet, Venet later experimented with black tar. He expanded from these “fetishist” works to photographs of heaps of coal and gravel and then his first sculptures ofCoal Piles, piles of loosely arranged pieces of coal whose arrangement varied with each installation. In 1964, impressed by other artists working in the Nouveaux Réalisme style, Venet made works that used discarded industrial material, such as flattened cardboard. On a visit to New York in 1966 Venet encountered Minimalist artists Dan Flavin, Donald Judd, and Sol LeWitt. He moved to New York in 1967 where he produced conceptual art that used systems, often based on scientific ideas. Venet also made sound works such as the vinyl recording The Infrared Polarization of the Infrared Star in Signus, and organized a performance in 1968 at the Judson Church Theater, during which three physicists delivered simultaneous lectures. Venet halted his artistic production between 1971 and 1976, when he returned to Paris to teach, lecture, and exhibit his past work at home and abroad. -
Bugatti and the Rubell Family Collection Announce the Launch of Grand Sport Venet by Artist Bernar Venet in Miami December 5 – 9, 2012
EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE UNTIL MIDNIGHT EST ON NOVEMBER 29, 2012 BUGATTI AND THE RUBELL FAMILY COLLECTION ANNOUNCE THE LAUNCH OF GRAND SPORT VENET BY ARTIST BERNAR VENET IN MIAMI DECEMBER 5 – 9, 2012 French artist Bernar Venet has been invited by Bugatti, legendary supercar- maker, to create a work of art that combines the artist’s vision and passions with Bugatti’s celebrated Grand Sport. This one-of-a-kind sculptural work will be on view at the Rubell Family Collection in Miami during Art Basel Miami Beach. Photo: Dominic Frazer © Bugatti 2012 Molsheim, France/Miami — Bugatti and the Rubell Family Collection announce the exhibition of artist Bernar Venet’s artistic interpretation of the supercar-maker’s Grand Sport at the Rubell Family Collection, December 5–9, 2012 during Art Basel Miami Beach. What other object of the 20th and 21st centuries is charged with as much significance and has been cited, adapted and interpreted by artists as often as the car? How has this myth 1 evolved through the course of time and what is the significance currently held by the design of an object considered the fastest and most expensive car in the world? Artist Bernar Venet took on this challenge with the Grand Sport by Bugatti. Through a congenial synthesis of artistic concept and technical possibilities, Venet has created an object that integrates the symbol of speed with a fascinating, painterly exterior and an interior that alludes to haute couture. Bernar Venet remarks, “A Bugatti is already a work of art in itself, one that transports both its beholder and its driver into new dimensions of reality. -
Arman Arman Les Poubelles Des Artistes New York (1970-1973) Preface
ARMAN ARMAN LES POUBELLES DES ARTISTES NEW YORK (1970-1973) PREFACE Marrying the exigencies of Dadaist drives, a performative aesthetics of shock, and assemblage techniques, Arman (né Arman Fernandez, Nice, France, 1928), is considered one of the leading figures of the French postwar Nouveaux Realistes, a group which also included Yves Klein and Jean Tinguely, whose work is marked by an aesthetic foregrounding of the ‘real’ in terms of the world of raw objects, materials, and physical processes. The body of work presented here gives the viewer one of Arman’s most celebrated artistic strategies, the creation of artist Poubelles, or large Plexiglas containers loaned to artists between 1970 and 1973, in New York, and filled by them with refuse from their studios—including that of Bernar Venet, Sol LeWitt, Robert Rauschenberg, Peter Hutchinson, and Joseph Kosuth, amongst others. What Peter Schjelddahl called upon the occasion of their first exhibition at John Gibson Gallery in 1973, “tantalizing form[s] of self- portrait”, with the aid of history, each of these works can be seen as well as commentary on detritus and production in material, late-capitalist existence: archives as portraits, witnesses to an era.

French Conceptual Artist Bernar Venet Launches the Venet Foundation in Southeast France
September 2014 French Conceptual Artist Bernar Venet Launches The Venet Foundation In Southeast France Y-Jean Mun-Delsalle Contributor Welcome to my world where art, design, culture and luxury meet. Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own. “It is not art if it doesn’t change the history of art,” Bernar Venet once said. His aim as an artist has always been to make pieces that raise questions and that bring something new to the art world. At the back of his mind is always the thought: “Can I show that as a work of art?” The challenge is to convince people that it’s possible and to have it accepted, to one day see it in books and museums. “It’s the only goal, actually,” he admits. “Making something that is already understood and accepted by the art world is boring.” His early black tar paintings were relatively daring and his Tas de Charbon (literally a pile of charcoal) was important in the context of art history, as it was the first sculpture without a specific shape, where you could change it, make it bigger, smaller or show it in different places at the same time – parameters that altered the definition of sculpture. http://www.forbes.com/sites/yjeanmundelsalle/2014/09/01/french-conce…ernar-venet-launches-the-venet-foundation-in-southeast-france/print/ Page 1 of 11 French Conceptual Artist Bernar Venet Launches The Venet Foundation In Southeast France - Forbes 12/12/14, 3:43 PM 88.5º Arc x 8, 2012, Corten steel; Collection: Gibbs Farm, New Zealand (Photo courtesy of Archives Bernar Venet, New York) In 1966, invited to participate in an exhibition at the Céret Museum in the Pyrenees, Venet sent a blueprint of a tube instead of the tube itself. -

COURTESY OF ARCHIVES BERNAR VENET, NEW YORK “My goal is to free sculpture from the constraints of composition and to criticize the utopian principle of an ideal order,” says Bernar Venet, 77, whose Indeterminate Lines, Arcs, Angles, Diagonals and Straight Lines sculptures fashioned from manipulated raw metal beams and based on concepts of order, disorder, instability and uncertainty have changed the face of art. Focusing on the concept behind an artwork rather than solely its esthetic, he has also worked in a wide range of disciplines throughout his career, including painting, photography, film, poetry, music composition, performance art, furniture design, ballet choreography and set design. Obsessed with making art that changes the history of art, his early piece, Tas de Charbon (Pile of Coal), was significant within the context of art history, as it was the first sculpture devoid of a specific shape, where you could alter its size or exhibit it in various locations at the same time, and where the coal wasn’t used to create an artwork, but instead was the artwork itself. 509 West 27th Street New York NY 10001 + 1 212 563 4474 kasmingallery.com Now over 170 of his works including drawings, diagrams, paintings, photographs, sound pieces, films and sculptures showcasing the depth and breadth of his multidisciplinary output will go on display in his most comprehensive retrospective ever, which opens on September 21, 2018 and runs until January 6, 2019 at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MAC) in Lyon. -

PRESS RELEASE for Immediate Release Bernar Venet at Art Plural Gallery Singapore, July 2012
PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release Bernar Venet at Art Plural Gallery Singapore, July 2012 - Art Plural Gallery is pleased to announce the first solo exhibition of acclaimed French artist Bernar Venet in Singapore. Dates: 26th September through 24th November, 2012 Venue: Art Plural Gallery, 38 Armenian Street Hours: Monday – Friday, 11am to 7pm The show will be inaugurated in the presence of the artist. As a fringe event, Art Plural Gallery in collaboration with the National Library Board will organise an art talk*. The talk will be open for registration to the public. Date: 24th September, 2012 Time: The talk will begin at 3 pm sharp Venue: The Pod at National Library Board, Level 16, 100 Victoria Street *Registration to Art Plural Gallery is required. Limited seats are available. In conjunction with the exhibition, the gallery will be publishing a catalogue. New York-based French artist Bernar Venet has been exploring the notions of indetermination, disorder, chance, and unpredictability with perseverance for decades. For this exhibition, Bernar Venet will show new sculptural reliefs from his GRIB series, an extension of the original wooden Indeterminate Lines that were developed between 1979 and 1983. The works included in this show were made from 35mm steel plates torch-cut by hand. The technique adds to the unpredictable nature of these ‘scribbles’ and gives these works a rougher character and more accessibility than their predecessors. The scribbling of the GRIB wall pieces logically connects the action of drawing in a random two-dimensional gesticulation and the physicality of a precise three- dimensional figure. With these new works, Bernar Venet sees a very wide field of possibilities and new propositions. -

Bugatti Presents the Fastest Artwork Ever — Bugatti Newsroom
Bugatti presents the fastest artwork ever FRANCE/MIAMI 03 12 2012 FRENCH ARTIST BERNAR VENET HAS BEEN INVITED BY BUGATTI, LEGENDARY SUPERCAR-MAKER, TO CREATE A WORK OF ART THAT COMBINES THE ARTIST’S VISION AND PASSIONS WITH BUGATTI’S CELEBRATED GRAND SPORT. French artist Bernar Venet has been invited by Bugatti, legendary supercar-maker, to create a work of art that combines the artist’s vision and passions with Bugatti’s celebrated Grand Sport. Through a congenial synthesis of artistic concept and technical possibilities, Venet has created an object that integrates the symbol of speed with a fascinating, painterly exterior and an interior that alludes to haute couture. This one-of-a-kind sculptural work will be on view at the Rubell Family Collection in Miami during Art Basel Miami Beach. Bernar Venet remarks, “A Bugatti is already a work of art in itself, one that transports both its beholder and its driver into new dimensions of reality. I realized how I could translate my passion for mathematical equations and scientific treatises into three-dimensional form. My works are usually self-referential. So I found the idea of translating the equations of the Bugatti engineers onto the bodywork of the car very appealing. It was, so to speak, a logical conclusion and a new challenge in terms of the specific form of collaboration and implementation. To me, the result is also exceptional when measured by artistic standards and bestows the object with a mythical character.” The artistic avant-gardes of the first half of the twentieth century found inspiration in the car as an object of desire; they depicted it in drawings, paintings and sculptures that projected absolute speed as their point of orientation. -
