Ruth Asawa . Asawa's Art . Crocheted Wire Sculpture
In the 1950s, Asawa focused on experimenting with crocheted wire sculptures like the ones shown here. She made the sculptures at home while looking after her six young children. Asawa had learned from Josef Albers, her teacher at Black Mountain College, to experiment using commonplace materials in new and original ways. These sculptures are made from iron, copper, brass and other types of wire. Asawa considers these sculptures three-dimensional drawings. Instead of the lines moving across the paper, the lines move through three-dimensional space. “I was interested in it because of the economy of a line, making something in space, enclosing it without blocking it out. It’s still transparent. I realized that if I was going to make these forms, which interlock and interweave, it can only be done with a line because a line can go anywhere.” If you could see these sculptures in person, you could view them at different angles and observe how they continuously change depending on your viewing angle.

Asawa learned the basic technique for making these sculptures in Toluca, Mexico in 1947. The Mexican villagers used a crocheting technique to make egg baskets from galvanized wire. The outside form of these sculptures comes from patterns that she drew as a young child on the farm. “We had a leveler,” she explained. “It was pulled by four horses. Any bump in the rows made it impossible to irrigate. The rows had to be even so every plant got watered. I used to sit on the back of the leveler with my bare feet drawing forms in the sand, which later in life became the sculptural forms that make up the bulk of my sculptures.” As the leveler advanced, Asawa swung her feet out and brought them closer together, so that the two lines in the sand diverged and converged and diverged again. The basic shape she drew in the earth can be seen in the hourglass form of her crocheted wire sculptures.

Relumine by Mischer’Traxler | BING BANG POUF
The start of this project was a focus on light sources. Instead of completely designing a newly shaped lamp, ‘Relumine’ plays on the fact that we all have to switch from old light bulbs to new energy saving light sources. Each ‘Relumine’ uses two, discarded lamps, which are disassembled, sanded, newly lacquered and adapted with newer technology, before they are connected by a glass tube which holds a fluorescent tube.

Instead of completely designing a newly shaped lamp, 'Relumine' plays on the fact that we all have to switch from old light bulbs to new energy saving light sources.
Each 'Relumine' uses two, discarded lamps, which are disassembled, sanded, newly lacquered and adapted with newer technology, before they are connected by a glass tube which holds a fluorescent tube.
By introducing a different mean of light source to the old lamps, their look and feel changes completely. They become one new unit, each with its own character.
Together these two lamps need less energy than each one in its previous life.
The project was initially made for the bulb-fiction show at the Gallery Klaus Engelhorn.
technical information: Relumine - lamps use T5 fluorescent tubes with 21 or 28 Watts as a light source. This generation of fluorescent tubes needs less energy, is available in a few light colours and just requires an electronic ballast and no additional starter.

ANSELM KIEFER - Louisiana Museum of Modern Art
10. september 2010 - 9. januar 2011Storslået, tankevækkende, gribende. Louisiana præsenterer næsten 90 værker fra fire årtier af en af efterkrigstidens vigtigste tyske kunstnere. Udstillingen er inddelt i fem centrale temaer, der flyder sammen og danner et stærkt og sammensat billede af en af de helt store nulevende klassiske kunstnere.
Anselm Kiefer (født 1945) kan med god ret kaldes 'en levende klassiker'. Han er en i høj grad aktiv og meget produktiv kunstner, der allerede i mange år har indtaget en helt central plads i Louisianas samling og for museets gæster, bl.a. med skulpturen Jason, det store bombefly, lavet af bly. Derfor har Louisiana længe ønsket at vise 'det store billede' af denne kunstner."

Stephane Halleux
Stephane Halleux, a French sculptor is the creator of a remarkable collection of steampunkish characters, engines, vehicles and very curious creatures. He makes the most amazing anthropomorphised creations, most of which is cyborganic in nature, existing in an interzone between man and machine, all rendered in a decidedly retro-futuristic flavor
