Gonzalez-Foerster works experimentally. Engaging with the exhibition as a medium, her spatial inventions and investigations probe the notion of display, as well as how an image or scene is experienced. Drawing on wide-ranging references from music, literature, film, architecture and pop culture, the artist creates densely layered environments with the ability to transport viewers into alternative narrative, temporal and psychological dimensions.00Alienarium 5 is a speculative environment that invites us to imagine possible encounters with extraterrestrials. The catalogue is a culmination of her decades-long interest in science fiction and continued research into deep space and alien life. Conceived site-specifically for Serpentine, the exhibition will feature almost entirely new work that engages both the gallery?s internal and external space.00Exhibition: Serpentine Gallery, London, United Kingdom (14.04. - 04.09.2022).
What if aliens were in love with us? What would change? Alienarium 5 is a speculative environment that invites us to imagine possible encounters with extraterrestrials. Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster's first major institutional solo show in the UK since TH.2058 at Tate Modern's Turbine Hall in 2008, the exhibition is a culmination of her decades-long interest in science fiction and continued research into deep space and alien life. Conceived site-specifically for Serpentine, the exhibition will feature almost entirely new work that engages both the gallery's internal and external space. Gonzalez-Foerster is a leading artist of her generation. Working experimentally, she has collaborated with Se...
Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster says she is a "prisoner of literature." In her installations, videoprojections and "apparitions" (performances) she tells amazing stories and uses a remarkable range of formal possibilities. This richly illustrated volume not only documents a new work by the French exceptional artist - a labyrinth of spatial installations that leads the viewer to an inner journey through time, the world of cinema, literature and science - but also marks her extraordinary career, from the sensational exhibition in the Tate Modern turbines to her bookstores at the Hispanic Society of America in New York. A number of essays by leading art experts address Gonzalez-Foerster's use of film, architecture and music as a means of self-exploration and artistic expression. An impressive and at the same time very personal portrait of an artist and her confrontation with time and literature, identity and narration.
This exhibition is the ninth commission in the Unilever Series: an annual art commision.
This book explores the world of the French artist Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster through lavish visual material as well as essays by Ina Blom (Professor at the University of Oslo, Norway), Penelope Curtis (Curator at the Henry Moore Institute, Leeds, UK), Jens Hoffman (Director of Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts, San Francisco, USA) and Lisette Lagnado (Curator and Artistic Director of the 27th edition of the São Paulo Biennale). Also featuring an interview on literary creation with the writer Enrique Vila-Matas conducted by the artist herself, along with Hans Ulrich Obrist (co-Director of the Serpentine Gallery, London, UK).
