54 Les Prairies's artists THOMAS KILPPER John Heartfield and Silvio Berlusconi, 2009. Collection Kadist Art Foundation, Paris. © Adagp, Paris 2012. Thomas Kilpper, the German artist and activist living in Berlin, is well known for his installations, drawings and monumental woodcarvings that he does on an urban architectural scale. He takes over buildings due for demolition and carves directly into the floor, which he uses as a matrix for making in situ prints on canvas or paper. John Heartfield and Silvio Berlusconi provocatively associates a portrait of Berlusconi, the former Italian head of government and media mogul, with a fragment of a photomontage by John Heartfield (1891-1968), in which this great German manipulator of images and critic of the Nazi regime appears with a pair of scissors. In Willi Brandt, Guenther Guillaume and Dietrich Sperling, goes back to the intrigues of the Cold War. Guenter Guillaume was an East German spy who had infiltrated the office of the Chancellor of the Federal German Republic. Here he seems to be whispering false information into Chancellor Willi Brandt's ear. The third man, Dietrich Sperling, was at that time a minister in Brandt's government. These two works are part of the series State of Control, a monumental fresco in which the artist experimented for the first time with engraving on a linoleum floor in a Berlin building. In this case it was the former headquarters of the East German political police, the STASI. F. O. tr. J. H. Born in 1956 in Stuttgart (Germany), lives and works in Berlin (Germany).
AGLAIA KONRAD Concrete & Samples III Carrara, 2010. Courtesy Production Auguste Orts. © Adagp, Paris 2012. Les Prairies's artists Concrete & Samples I, II et III is a series of films by Aglaia Konrad devoted to two structures and a natural site greatly modified by humans. The first film in the trilogy explores the Church of the Most Holy Trinity in Vienna. The building was designed by the sculptor Fritz Wotruba and looks like a monumental abstract sculpture. It is a cubist arrangement of a hundred and fifty-two asymmetrically placed concrete blocks. Concrete & Samples II Blockhaus presents the Church of Saint-Bernadette-du-Banlay in Nevers, designed by Claude Parent and Paul Virilio. It is a monolithic and enigmatic building that from the outside looks like a defensive bunker in raw concrete. The interior space gets its dynamic from two diagonal slopes. The last film in the trilogy, Concrete & Samples III Carrara was shot in the famous marble quarry at Carrara. This constantly evolving landscape comes across as something sculptural, decorated with temporary structures and references to art history. Though none of the three films has a commentary, they all offer a subjective view of these structures and this site. The camera seems to stand in for the gaze of a visitor, in this case, the artist's. It is therefore from her point of view, literally and metaphorically, that we discover these places, and her point of view that gives unity to the three films. Aglaia Konrad has chosen to bring the three sites together in one series – two modern structures in raw concrete and the natural place of extraction of a noble and traditional material for sculpture – and she has tereated them as sculptures in their own right. A. L. tr. J. H. Born in 1960 in Salzbourg (Austria), lives and works in Brussels (Belgium). retrouvez cette artiste à 40mcube 55
