Thomas Bang - Apparatus for Unstable Conditions

Összefoglaló

Throughout his career Danish artist Thomas Bang (*1938) has focussed on various aspects of "fragility" and "vulnerability", both as physical and psychological states. His new monograph is a survey of his sculptural practice, which he understands as an ongoing investigation into and a reflection on the the ever-changing and provisional aspects of our human environment. Four multifaceted essays trace his formative years as a painter in the early 1960s, his subsequent development as a sculptor, his activities as part of the New York art scene since 1970, up to his most recent largescale installations and wall-mounted works.
