全球傳奇球鞋設計師-Tom Sachs最新藝術創作「Spaceships」首本作品集。
Tom Sachs《太空船Spaceships》展覽正在美國的紐約與棕櫚灘盛大開展,這本作品集將從多方面角度,深入探討Toms Sachs關於太空船的展覽議題。場中不僅展覽多幅與太空船、火箭的手繪圖之外,還有各式各樣在我們生活之中,與太空船觀念息息相關的點子們,例如:Hoover廠牌的吸塵器雕塑品,意指外太空的真空狀態;利用Sachs最愛的播放器,拼裝出太空船的形式;一件與鐵達尼號相關的作品,傳達真實世界中的運輸模式等等,近一步了解這些意念,是如何深深地影響了Sachs近十年來的藝術觀念。
The most recent body of work by the popular American artist to focus on his highly inventive interpretation of space travel, published for the first time.
Published to accompany exhibitions simultaneously in New York and Palm Beach, the book follows the interdisciplinary show that centers around the theme of spaceships by the artist Tom Sachs (b. 1966), both with representations of spaceships and rockets in sculptural and painted forms, and more indirect references that relate either formally or conceptually to the idea of the spaceship in our society. A sculpture of a Hoover vacuum suggests the vacuum of space; a bricolage rendition of Sachs’ favorite record player recalls the form of a spaceship; and a work relating to the Titanic suggests the idea of transporting between realms. Other works more directly represent spaceships and relate to Sachs’ space program, which has been of central importance to his work over the past decade and a half.
The book follows Sachs’ immersive, participatory installations on the theme of space, most recently at the Deichtorhallen in Hamburg. Last August, Sachs launched his Rocket Factory, a genre-defying project that brought NFTs into the physical realm by launching fully assembled replicas of NFT rockets (one of which took place at LACMA in 2021) and then making paintings after component and assembled rockets.
