Park Chan-Girl aus Korea erschafft ziemlich derbe Skulpturen aus Stahl. Einmal so wie hier oben, aus Metallscheiben, die durch Stahlbolzen gehalten werden oder so wie weiter unten, komplett aus Schraubenmuttern. Ich finde die erste Variante schöner, ahnt Marilyn: “Korean sculptor Park Chan-girl constructs metal sculptures from thin metal layers he calls “sliced images” that resemble three dimensional topography charts.

Tot in de Vezel Atrium, Den Haag 2012 De Nederlandse kunstenaar Peter Gentenaar maakt objecten van vlas- en henneppulp, die hij uitgiet over dunne geraamtes van bamboe. Tijdens het drogen krimpt de papierpulp ongeveer 30% en vervormt het de bamboe-geraamtes. De kunstenaar stuurt dit proces, waarbij de uiteindelijke vorm ontstaat. Het resultaat is een barok en oneindig gevarieerd papieren kunstwerk. Dutch artist Peter Gentenaar makes objects in flax and hemp pulp, poured out on flat skeletons of bamboo slats. During the drying of the pulp, the paper-pulp shrinks about 30% and deforms the slat-skeletons. The artist intervenes and guides the constructions into their final three-dimensional form. The result is a highly ornamental paper artwork in an unlimited multitude of shapes and sizes.

Mademoiselle Pogany III by Constantin Brancusi 1933 Centre Georges Pompidou The atelier of Constantin Brancusi shows the culmination of the sculptor's work at the forefront of the French avant-guarde, reports Jeanne-Marie Cilento from Paris. "There are idiots who define my work as abstract; yet what they call abstract is what is most realistic. What is real is not the appearance, but the idea, the essence of things." ~ Constantin Brancusi Hidden away in the narrow streets crowding around Rue Rambuteau in Paris is the atelier of Modernist sculptor Constantin Brancusi. Italian architect Renzo Piano designed and recreated the sculptor’s studio as it was left in 1957 in a new building tucked in behind the soaring staircases of the Pompidou. Filled with Brancusi’s most evocative sculptures such as Bird in Space, A Muse and Infinite Columns, the studio is a way of experiencing the artist’s best work. He spent his last years grouping, regrouping and photographing his large works to achieve the ideal spatial arrangement. The Atelier Brancusi is the high-point of the artist’s work and an atmospheric way of viewing his famous sculptures exactly in the context he planned them to be seen. One of the great pioneers of modernism, he is considered the originator of modern, abstract sculpture. Today Brancusi’s work commands millions - the Yves Saint Laurent/Pierre Bergé sale in 2009 of Madame LR sold for a record 29.185 million euros - yet the sculptor started life as a poor Romanian peasant. While his parents labored in the fields near the Carpathian mountains, Constantin herded sheep and by nine years old was working in the local town at a public house. It is a remarkable leap from this rural, agricultural background to becoming a world-reknowned artist - in his own lifetime. But Brancusi’s natural aptitude for wood-carving stood him in great stead. As an eighteen year old lover of music and especially Romanian folk songs he created his own violin. It was so well done that a local businessman recognized his latent talent and enrolled him at the Craiova School of Arts and Crafts. He studied wood-working and graduated with honours in 1898. He then went on to receive his academic training in sculpture at the Bucharest School of Fine Arts. In 1904 he travelled to Paris and arrived amid the French capital's foment of new ideas, becoming part of the Parisian avant guarde of the 1910s and 1920s. The sculptor worked with Auguste Rodin for several months but decided that although he admired his work "nothing can grow under big trees". Brancusi was part of a group of artists and intellectuals that included Amedeo Modigliani, Pablo Picasso, Marcel Duchamp, Guillaume Apollinaire, Henri Rousseau and Fernand Leger. Although Brancusi remained based in Paris for the rest of his life, he still liked to dress simply like a Romanian peasant and his house and studio were filled with the rough-hewn furniture in wood and stone that was familiar from his childhood and that we see today in his atelier. Brancusi's philosophy valued "differentiating the essential from the ephemeral" and Plato and Lao-Tzu were great influences. An idealist and ascetic later in life, visitors to his studio noted its tranquil, spiritual atmosphere. The Atelier Brancusi has been moved from it’s original location in Impasse Ronsin in the 15th arrondissment but the studio still provides a calm respite from the Parisian hurly-burly outside. The four small studios and workshops are full of Brancusi's carefully arranged series of sculptures and all of his tools that he left to the Musee National D'Art Moderne in 1956.

Sculptures organised by Brancusi around the great stone fireplace from his original atelier. Brancusi's workshop and studio as he left it in 1957 with the famous Bird in Flight in the foreground. Tools cover the work benches and walls near the forge in Brancusi's studio. The sculptor carved directly into his material whether it was wood, marble or plaster to try and reach the form within. He made or modified many of his own tools and used grindstones and sanders to give a highly polished sheen to his marble and bronze sculptures. One of Brancusi's studies for Muse.

Luo Li Rong is een Chinese kunstenares die al weer een aantal jaren in België woont. Al op jonge leeftijd begon ze met beeldhouwen en studeerde ze kunst aan de prestigieuze Academie voor Schone Kunsten (CAFA) in Peking. Bij haar afstuderen werd ze geëerd en werd ze lid van de werkplaats van de meester Zon Jiabao. Daar verdiepte ze zich in figuratieve beeldhouwkunst op klassieke basis. Het doel daar was om in de “geest” één te worden met het model.Na haar opleiding kreeg ze veel opdrachten en werkte ze aan projecten en sculpturen voor de openbare ruimte, o.a. voor de Olympische Spelen van 2008 in Beijing. Ook in België blijft ze trouw aan haar principes. Geconcentreerd werkt ze verder aan haar oeuvre en verdiept ze zich in de technieken van de beeldhouwers van Europa uit de renaissance, barok en andere tijden. Haar sculpturen verbluffen de kijker met hun schoonheid, vakmanschap en vooral ook vrouwelijke elegantie vatten.
