Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This minimalist contemporary artwork features a collection of simple glass vessels and a small cube-shaped sound system placed on a neutral-toned carpet. The composition emphasizes the interplay of form, light, and negative space, creating a serene and contemplative atmosphere. The transparent glassware and the muted, off-white tone of the sound system suggest a focus on materiality and the exploration of the relationship between everyday objects and their environment. The overall style reflects a minimalist aesthetic, where the artist likely intended to invite the viewer to engage with the subtle details and interactions within the piece, prompting a deeper contemplation of the nature of art and everyday experience. ...

Artist

Nina Canell

B.1979, Swedish

The practice of Swedish artist Nina Canell sheds light on immaterial, intangible forces and relations between objects. Her sculptures objectify these invisible transfers, expressed in tangible form. Canell’s practice, which often involves electrical currents, is informed by how energy is negotiated, interrupted and displaced. The artist is interested in how her sculptures can act as conduits that move, transmit and extend the energy that runs through them. Canell mixes electricity with sound and solid matter and plays with weight and gravity, with many sculptures appearing suspended in space, unconstrained and liberated. Assemblages are formed from various materials, tightly woven into compact sculptures or scattered across the gallery floor as enigmatic utopian detritus. ...

Gallery

Kaufmann Repetto

Milan, New York City

francesca kaufmann gallery opened in January 2000. Since then, the gallery has aimed to explore a diverse range of media, with a focus on video, site specific installation, and a special attention towards the works of female artists. After ten years in its historical location, the gallery opened in a new space in October 2010, under the name kaufmann repetto, to mark the partnership between Francesca Kaufmann and Chiara Repetto. In its new location, the gallery has been able to further develop its exhibition programming through a project space dedicated predominantly to younger artists, as well as a courtyard for large scale outdoor installations, which run parallel to the gallery’s main exhibition schedule. In 2013, the gallery inaugurated a new location in Chelsea, New York, with a parallel program to the gallery’s main space in Milan. In 2019 the New York location moved to Tribeca, expanding to a 3,000 sq ft exhibition space. The inaugural exhibition at the gallery’s new space in Tribeca was a solo show by Lily van der Stokker. ...
