Author: Saraceno, Tomas
Tomás Saraceno combines research on fossil fuel alternatives, the architecture of spider webs and aeronautical engineering to create large-scale interactive sculptures that look toward the future. Saraceno’s interest in spiders is one of the defining features of his work – the piece commissioned by The Shed for his largest-ever US exhibit follows in this tradition, combining spiderwebs with “the cosmic web” through an immersive experience. This publication documents the piece’s debut.Alongside a four-colour plate section of Saraceno’s previous projects and a selection of writing inspired by his work. In an effort to reduce the project’s environmental impact, the book is printed partially on excess paper salvaged from other jobs by the Italian printing atelier Musumeci.
ISBN 9783960988229. The Shed/Walther König, Köln. pb. 224 pages. 80 colour, 110 b/w ills. 32 x 24 cm.
