curated by François Perrin opens tonight at the Storefront for Art and Architecture.
Opening is from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and will run until April 23rd.
Renowned French conceptualist Yves Klein (1928-1962) produced a prescient body of work concerning the concept of air architecture – an immaterial architecture. From 1957 to 1962, Klein developed “Air Architecture,” a visionary project of living environments designed to reconnect people with the Earth and its elements. This concept represents an architecture that engages climate at the origin of its design process, with the ultimate goal of radically transforming society.
This is the first exhibition devoted to this aspect of the work of Yves Klein. The exhibition features drawings, texts, photography, sculpture and film, including work Klein produced in collaboration with architects Claude Parent and Werner Ruhnau.
The exhibition is also accompanied by a fully-illustrated catalogue.
Yves Klein: Air Architecture was originally produced by the MAK Center for Art and Architecture at the Schindler House, Los Angeles, and first shown there in 2004. www.makcenter.org
The work in the exhibition is from the Yves Klein Archive in Paris.
