Presenting this year´s exhibition - Tony Cragg Material In Mind
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
Kistefos is delighted to present the first major survey exhibition in Norway of works by the pre-eminent British sculptor Sir #tonycragg. The exhibition in the Twist will comprise over 25 sculptures including key works from the Christen Sveaas’ Art Foundation and Collection.
Cragg’s sculptures explore the interplay between materials, forms, negative and positive spaces whilst pushing to find new relationships between humans and the material world. The presentation spans the artists prolific 5-decade career; from early found object ‘assemblage’ works inspired by the #arte Povera movement and ‘readymades’, to the technically sophisticated sculptures created in recent years. The artist works in bronze, steel, aluminium, wood, plastic, glass and wax – pushing and challenging the possibilities of these materials. Lauded as one of the world’s most accomplished sculptors, Cragg’s practice is fueled by a lifelong fascination of geology, landscape and relations to natural history.
From the small scale to the monumental, Cragg’s prolific practice is the outcome of a constantly questioning and experimental symbiotic process of thought and making, which always starts with drawing. With the support of his studio, Cragg makes his sculptures by hand, each evolution of thought taking form and inspiring the next.
Sir #tonycragg represented Great Britian at the Venice Biennale in 1988, and won The Turner Prize the same year. His work is already well represented at Kistsfos with 4 permanent works in the sculpture park. With a aesthetic that appeal to a broad audience, Cragg’s monumental works are a favourite amongst visitors. In addition to the works at Kistefos, works from this internationally acclaimed artist can also be found at Henie Onstad Art Centre, Skulpturlandskap Nordland, Ekeberg Sculpture Park and Astrup Fearnley Museum.
The exhibition marks the first exhibition of sculptures in The Twist and will offer a striking juxtaposition to the buildings impressive architecture.
Tony Cragg - Material in mind marks the opening of season 2023 at Kistefos and the exhibition runs from April 29th until October 15th.
