Richard Serra Biografía[editar] Obra[editar] El trabajo más temprano de Serra era completamente abstracto; hecho de plomo fundido lanzado contra la pared de un estudio o de un espacio de la exposición, era un claro ejemplo del process art. Sin embargo, es mejor conocido por sus construcciones minimalistas de grandes rodillos y de hojas del acero corten. Berlin Curves.Berlín, Alemania En 1981, Serra instaló el Tilted Arc, un muro de acero de 3,5 metros de altura curvado suavemente en la plaza federal en Nueva York. Otro trabajo famoso de Serra es gigantesca escultura Snake (Serpiente), tres sinuosas hojas de acero que crean una trayectoria curva, fue establecido permanentemente en la galería más grande del Museo Guggenheim Bilbao. El escultor tiene una relación especial con España, aunque no siempre le ha ido tan bien en este país: en 2006, el Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía en Madrid anunció que una de sus esculturas, Equal-Parallel-Guernica-Bengasi, de 36 toneladas, «se había perdida».

jimmie durham Born in Arkansas in 1940, Jimmie Durham is a sculptor, essayist and poet. He began working as a sculptor in 1963 and in 1969 he moved to Europe and studied at the École des beaux-arts in Geneva. Along with three other sculptors he formed the group Draga, which researched ways to allow the plastic arts to be more accessible to public life. At the same time, along with a Mapuche Indian from Chile and a Quechua Indian from Bolivia, he formed an organization, Incomindios, which attempted to coordinate and encourage support for the struggle of Indians of the Americas. In 1973, Durham returned to the US to become a full-time organizer in the American Indian Movement (AIM). In 1987 Durham moved to Cuernavaca, Mexico, where he was based until moving to Europe in 1994. His work has been selected for the 55th edition of the Venice Biennale. In 1995 Phaidon published "Jimmie Durham", a comprehensive survey of his art. Download PDF (64 K)
