Cutting-edge, 21st century sculpture has taken a turn from the life-like bronze and marble carvings of its origins. Today, it’s about ideas. Everyday objects take on artistic dimensions and science is pushed to the limits to create visual masterpieces. They are sometimes awe-inspiring, sometimes baffling, but the art market figures are rising and the galleries are full.
This month on CNN “Ones to Watch” explores this three-dimensional art form to find out which artists have the tools for the top.
The main contributing voice of this episode is the celebrated sculptor Antony Gormley. His bronze ‘Angel of the North’ has become a British landmark. He has exhibited in some of Europe’s most prestigious galleries including the Hermitage, St Petersburg and the Hayward Gallery, London. He was awarded the Turner Prize in 1994 and the Praemium Imperiale in 2014. ‘CNN Ones to Watch’ meets him as he installs a new exhibition in Paris.
Tate Modern is the most visited modern art museum on earth. Belgian Director Chris Dercon is responsible for keeping this vibrant space at the forefront of the contemporary art scene. The invitation to exhibit in the Tate Turbine Hall has been a seminal moment in the career of many great artists, among them Ai Weiwei and Anish Kapoor.
Abraham Cruzvillegas has received the golden ticket and will be taking over the Turbine Hall in October. The Mexican sculptor has been nominated by Dercon as his “One to Watch”. The programme meets him in his Mexico City studio and in some of the places which inspire his work, and ‘CNN Ones to Watch’ is there as he surveys the vast space at the Turbine Hall for the very first time.
Respected British Art Critic Estelle Lovatt chooses an artist for ‘CNN Ones to Watch’, who is taking the art of sculpture to new extreme South African sculptor Jonty Hurwitz has worked with Hollywood animators and micro-physicists to create the world’s smallest sculpture. The figure of a woman can only be viewed through a microscope, as she walks delicately on a single strand of human hair. His quest to merge art and science is limitless – he makes vast bronze sculptures using algorithms and mirrors which play with perspectives. ‘CNN Ones to Watch’ meets him in the foundry and the laboratory as this alchemist turned artist crafts a new work.
