Constantin Brancusi and Richard Serra at Fondation Beyeler

[DuochromeFilms]

Does anyone have an installation video of the Serra piece..."DELINEATOR" It frightens the ______ out of me with that one plate on the ceiling. I just wish I could see how it was installed. I love Serra's work.

This is such a wonderful pairing for an exhibition. The Fondation Beyeler site is also a wonderful addition to the video. I didn't know that Richard Serra was at Brancusi's studio in connection with a scholarship he received. Your videos are such an education!

@jpapare Thank you!

I am also from Romania and an artist and I personally really like it. He brings out the essence of form and meaning. It`s a good lesson to be learn as a visual communicator.

[henrichy0205yt]

@shubagrebshnitz for me, Brancusi has a really unique formal language. What I find very interesting is how he combines the sculptures with their pedestals.

[shubagrebshnitz]

@henrichy0205yt Definitely! It`s beautiful how the pedestals are not very chiselled or polished so it keeps the feel of the human touch. And it this way and by the shapes they have they are very reminiscent of Romanian ethnographic crafts and architecture. It`s a nice metaphor that in the literal way the bases of his sculptures are his cultural routs.

[henrichy0205yt]

@shubagrebshnitz yes, exactly. Some people like the sculptures but not the pedestals, but in my opinion, they are essential to understand his oeuvre.

[shubagrebshnitz]

@henrichy0205yt I agree, it`s a beautiful part of the whole.
