ANRI SALA AS YOU GO

Descriere

Anri Sala (Tirana, 1974) uses film, music, sculpture, photographs and drawings to create installations that explore the cracks, gaps, overlaps, and echoes through which reality unfolds in time and events acquire meaning. Through architectural space he modulates visual, sonic and tactile elements and thereby generates new interpretations of reality and unprecedented perceptual possibilities. Music constitutes an integral part of his art and is one of the features shared by his most recent works.This catalog develops an in-depth examination of As You Go, the project devised by Anri Sala specifically for Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea in the form of an exhibition that also constitutes a single new work, extended over time and in the exhibition space, and capable of involving the viewer in an unprecedented perceptual experience.In addition to new essays by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev and Marcella Beccaria, the volume includes the largest selection of the artist’s writings ever published, a chronological list of solo and group exhibitions and an anthology of art-critical essays on Sala, from 1998 to the present, by Natalie Bell, Svetlana Boym, Julia Garimorth, Boris Groys, Christine Macel, Edi Muka, Molly Nesbit, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Philippe Parreno, Vladimir Perisic, Nicolaus Schafhausen, Noam Segal, Joshua Simon and Peter Szendy
