{"product_id":"albert-weis","title":"Albert Weis","description":"Since the late 1990s, Albert Weis’s art has gained widespread \npublic attention. His installations with their references to \narchitecture, as well as his sculptural and photographic works, analyse \nthe complex nature of urban spaces and examine how people interact with \nthem. In addition to Weis’s visual exploration of existing urban spaces \nwith his camera, he also investigates the utopian and dystopian \nqualities of modern architecture – above all by means of physical \ninterventions. He is particularly intrigued by surfaces as the level \nwhere internal and external, inside and outside, private and public are \nboth separated and bridged. Using mirrors, aluminum plates, screentone \nsheets, coloured foil, perforated plates, and neon tubes, the artist \ncreates intricate structures. These works duplicate, enhance, and even \noptically negate surfaces through folds, reflections, and mirror images.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nWeis’s\n installations consistently raise the question of how architecture and \ndesign guide, limit, or liberate people’s everyday lives. What functions\n do the buildings that surround us serve? How do roads and walkways \nallow us to negotiate our urban landscape? How does architecture \ninfluence our movements?\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThis book is the first-ever\n comprehensive monograph on Albert Weis. Containing numerous essays, \nin-depth information on individual works, and a wealth of images, it \nprovides unique insights into the rich and diverse oeuvre of the artist.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nText in English and German. \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"DruckVerlag Kettler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54227419431256,"sku":"9783862068128","price":55.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9783862068128_7a34b563-b55d-48f7-80ed-90f3ad2345e7.jpg?v=1777206658","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/albert-weis","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
