"Breath [the vertical works]"
From 20/3 to 21/6/2009
curated by Serena Cattaneo Adorno
opening: March 19, 2009, from 7pm
The new exhibition of Hangar Bicocca is dedicated to a new series of projected “solid-light” sculptures by Anthony McCall.
Much of McCall’s recently exhibited work has been horizontal in orientation. But since 2004, he has also been developing installations which explore height and verticality. This exhibition will present six of these works, only one of which has ever been exhibited before. They include Breath I (2004), Breath II (2004), Breath III (2005), Between You and I (2006), Coupling (2009) and, commissioned specifically for Hangar Bicocca, Meeting you Halfway (2009).
The series demonstrates McCall’s multi-disciplinary practice, where the fusing of installation, film, sculpture and performance creates a dialogue with the industrial space of Hangar Bicocca, one of the few sites in the world that has the capacity to accommodate a series of this scale.
