CELESTE JAY ON UGO RONDINONE

ARTFORUM JANUARY 2006, PAGE 108.

Generally I don't like this journal, it's too big, there are too many ads and lots of large amounts of small text boring reviews of boring looking exhibitions. There was an image which caught my eye though (I feel like everything I post is so boring caompared to everyone else, maybe I'm not being picky enough...).

Ugo Rondinone. The image was:

It was the gateway to an exhibition the Swiss artist had comprising of 24 paintings and sculptures inside this building. I like the idea of everything being an experience, the experience being the 'art itself', very into that at the moment. I.E- making the gateway seem like the beginning to your adventures coming during his show.

Other works by him:


If There Were Anywhere But Desert, 2000, sculpture using Fibreglass


When the water went south for the winter it carried us down like storm driven gulls, 2003, sculpture using Résine moulée semi-transparente / Semi-transparent molded resin (looks like melting ice!)

and also did anyone go to Romy etc exhibition at the now costume shop in Adelaide Arcade?? I can't remember her name, but this second year art girl did some work which I now know is TOTALLY ripping slash paying homage whatever to this dude!! Check it yo!


All Moments Stop Here and Together We Become Every Memory That Has Ever Been (Edition for Parkett 52), 1998, mixed media

THE END.
