Abstract

A leading figure in the New British Sculpture movement of the early 1980s, Richard Wentworth (born 1947) uses photography to register chance encounters of oddities and discrepancies in the modern landscape, expanding the possibilities of sculpture into the public realm. Documenting Wentworth's ongoing series Making Do and Getting By, the book's 750 images document excess - a creativity beyond functionality, something transformative that lurks beneath the surface intention in acts of ordering and repair. In one image, a car door serves to mend a fence; in another, wooden crates are wedged into a doorway. Wentworth seizes on this rupture between object and intended function, object and meaning. In Making Do and Getting By, Wentworth redefines the art of the human hand with a light and witty touch.

Abstract

Le Weston est une nouvelle galerie, boutique et café construit sur le site d’une ancienne carrière dans le domaine Bretton du Yorkshire Sculpture Park. Le Centre a été conçu pour s’insérer soigneusement dans ce paysage historique (18e siècle) et avoir un impact minimal sur son environnement. Inspiré par les œuvres d’art terrestre de Michael Heizer et Robert Morris, le bâtiment crée un seuil clair à la fois comme une entrée et une destination prolongeant l’expérience du visiteur à l’Est du parc de 200 hectares. Son profil bas le protège de l’autoroute et forme une terrasse abritée et en contrebas avec vue sur le parc vers le lac inférieur et Bretton Hall. Construit à partir de béton stratifié et pigmenté qui évoque les strates du socle rocheux de grès du site, le bâtiment émerge du sol de l’ancienne carrière et est défini par un toit en béton scié. Une couronne en fibre de verre festonnée crée un modeste phare lumineux dans le paysage la nuit. La nouvelle galerie, qui présentera un programme changeant d’expositions temporaires, présente des murs en béton à face équitable et est éclairée d’en haut par une série de lanternes placées dans la structure en béton. Dans les murs de la galerie se trouvent 10.000 briques d’argile non cuites qui fournissent un système pionnier de contrôle environnemental à faible consommation d’énergie qui maintient les conditions internes de la galerie tout en réduisant le besoin de climatisation. Emerging from the site of a former millstone grit quarry and embracing views over 18th century landscape, The Weston is a new gallery and visitor centre designed by Feilden Fowles for Yorkshire Sculpture Park, the UK’s leading open-air gallery. The Weston marks a significant milestone in the park’s heritage, forming a new entrance, opening up a lesser-known swathe of parkland and offering a place of shelter, embodying YSP’s driving purpose to enable open access to art for all. This short collection of written and visual essays – with contributions from Founding and Executive Director Peter Murray, Director of Programme Clare Lilley and artist Richard Wentworth – describes Feilden Fowles’ journey to realise a new gateway to the park ; a place from which to explore beyond.

Abstract

This volume is based on four advanced courses held at the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica (CRM), Barcelona. It presents both background information and recent developments on selected topics that are experiencing extraordinary growth within the broad research area of geometry and quantization of moduli spaces. The lectures focus on the geometry of moduli spaces which are mostly associated to compact Riemann surfaces, and are presented from both classical and quantum perspectives.

Abstract

Both Eugene Atget and Richard Wentworth are authors of photographic compendia which describe the great cities of London and Paris poised at two very different moments of change – at the twentieth century’s beginning and at its end. For both, the city is a vivid yet fugitive place, continually undergoing cycles of renovation, disintegration and renewal once more. Its pavements are a ‘stage’ for social activity, and its physical details, however fleeting, full of meaning about the nature of an urban society – and what the individuals within it, own, do, make and improvise.
