The Aerocene project consists of a series of airborne sculptures that will achieve the longest emissions-free journey around the world becoming buoyant only by the heat of the Sun and infrared radiation from the surface of Earth.
"Tomás Saraceno's installations shatter traditional concepts relating to place, time, gravity and traditional ideas as to what constitutes architecture. His works are utopian and invite the viewer to play a part in their impact on a particular space, as they reach up to the sky and down to the ground. The artist creates gardens that hang in the air and allow visitors to float in space, fulfilling a dream shared by all humankind. Saraceno draws inspiration from soap bubbles and the incredible strength and flexibility of spider webs."--from Hamburger Bahnhof, Museum für Gegenwart, Berlin's website.
The work on display in Tomas Saraceno:Cloud-Specific includes pneumatic sculptures, modular environments, drawings, and a video, all conceived as part of an ongoing exploration into an Air-Port-City / Cloud-City (2001-present) a floating city in the sky fueled by solar energy. Documenting the related exhibition at the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum and more broadly examining the artist's working process, this book is among the first to investigate Saraceno's work and its place at the intersection of art, architecture, engineering, and the natural sciences in a globalized world. -

Inaugurating Rossmarkt3, a multi-annual public sculpture project for Frankfurt's Rossmarkt, Argentinian artist Tomás Saraceno (born 1973) has created a large-scale arachnid-like sculpture that blends his interests in art, architecture, physics and ecology. This volume also includes other works of Saraceno's that explore similar themes.
For more than a decade, Saraceno has been imagining a world free from borders and fossil fuels. In this age of climate emergency, his work has focused on a new era of our Earth that emphasizes the atmosphere, called the Aerocene. In keeping with Saraceno's own concerns with reducing human impact on the environment, the book will be printed in part on wastepaper salvaged from other print jobs by Italian printing atelier Musumeci, in an effort to reduce the waste associated with the book's production.
The first thorough monograph on Tomás Saraceno's groundbreaking installations, modeling a utopian future of balance between humanity and nature Argentinian artist Tomás Saraceno (born 1973) creates cell-like, spidery interactive installations and sculptures that propose new possibilities for inhabiting the environment, speculative models for alternate ways of living.
