About the Item

Bernhard Leitner, (Austrian, 1938) From a portfolio "Sound : Space" "Ton : Raum" Self published by artist in 1975/1976, Limited edition of 50 Hand signed in pencil by artist. According to his gallery it is a photomechanical litho etching process. It is hand signed and numbered. It might be a screenprint of sorts. Bernhard Leitner, born 1938 (Feldkirch, Austria) Architect and artist, Pioneer of sound, space and light installation art. Leitner studied Architecture at the Technical University in Vienna. Lived from 1968 until 1983 in New York City. Worked first with the Department of City Planning, than as Associate Professor at New York University, Co-director of "Urban Design Studies: Humanistic Perspectives"1983–1986 in Berlin. 1987–2005 Professor for Media Art at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. Bernhard Leitner’s work in Sound Architecture and Sound Space Sculpture goes back to his artistic-empirical research (1969–1975) in New York, i.e. to his physical-acoustic analyses on experiences of spaces that are formed, designed and composed with the sculptural material Sound stemming from his interest in architecture, music and dance. Three-dimensional movements of sounds shape new architectural spaces. He was influenced by American Minimalism and Minimalist art. The scale of his work reaches from large permanent urban architectural installations (Le Cylindre Sonore,Paris; Sound Field 1020 Vienna; Sound Space Technical University Berlin) to body-related sculptures (Sound Chair; Vertical Space for one Person; Sound Arch; Sound Suit). As with the work of John Cage even the silences are loaded with meaning. This work combines architectural drawing with a photograph of his work. He was also instrumental in preserving the architectural work of Ludwig Wittgenstein, the Austrian philosopher who was also a one-shot architect. Leitner helped save the single house designed and built in Vienna by Wittgenstein.

  • Italian Artist Modern Silkscreen Eugenio Carmi
    By Eugenio Carmi
    Located in Surfside, FL
    Eugenio Carmi is an Italian painter born in 1920 in Genoa. He studied in Turin in Felice Casorati’s studio. His experience as a graphic designer in the ‘50s, is decisive for his pictorial research, based on a rigorous geometrical structure and on a fine analysis of the perception of colors. He participated in the Venice Biennale in 1966. In 1967 he showed some electronic works in the Superlund exhibition organized by Pierre Restany in Lund, Sweden. In 1968, he introduced the “Carm-o-matic”, during the Cybernetic Serendipity show at the Institute of Contemporary Art in London. In 1973, he produced an entirely abstract 25-minute show for RAI’s Experimental Programs Service. The same year, he taught visual art seminars at the Rhode Island Institute of Design in the United States. In the ‘70s, he gave courses at the Accademia of Macerata and at the Accademia of Ravenna (Italy). He produced illustrations for three of Umberto Eco’s stories, published in Italy by Bompiani and in many other countries. The French Ministry of Education has selected them for libraries and schools in France. The most important retrospective of his work was organized by the Milan town hall in 1990, followed by a prestigious exhibition in Budapest, in the halls of the Royal Palace, in 1992. In 1991 he exhibited at the San Francisco Italian American Museum. In 1996 the “Carmi” book is published by Umberto Eco and Duncan Macmillan and presented at the Milan Triennial: a synthesis of his life. From 1957 to 1965 he will play the role of artistic director of Cornigliano's corporate magazine. During this time iron and steel are materials that Carmi meets every day and become a strong creative stimulus for him. In his first solo exhibition - presented by Gillo Dorfles in 1958 at the Galleria Numero di Firenze - the protagonists are the enamels on steel and since 1960 he made various iron and steel works welded and lithographed milk. Iron and steel is the work that in 1962 presented at Spoleto Sculpture exhibition in the city , organized by Giovanni Carandente under the V Festival of the Two Worlds . In this period, he is involved not only in the cultural politics of the Istallier ( Victor Vasarely , Umberto Eco , Max Bill , Konrad Wachsmann , Furio Colombo , Ugo Mulas , Kurt Blum , Emanuele Luzzati , Flavio Costantini ) , But also in the cultural activity of the Warehouse Gallery , which Carmi founded in Boccadasse in 1963. The Warehouse Gallery with multiples intends to propose a serial art accessible to a wider audience and is placed in international discussions on 'Multiplied Art, representing one of the most important examples. The friendship and mutual esteem that binds him to Umberto Eco has two very important fruits at this time: Children's Fables and Stripsody . In 1966 for the publishing house Bompiani came three Eco fables illustrated by Carmi and then re-introduced in 1988 with new Carmi illustrations and a fable more. Stripsody is a musical project on cartoon sound, designed and then interpreted by the genius singer Cathy Berberian, with Eco texts and illustrations by Carmi. Eugenio Carmi, who is always fascinated by the new technological possibilities in the 1960s and 1970s, is the author of experimental cinematic and audiovisual artwork and also realizes those who will call electrical imagery signals that will also be at the center of a provocative installation on the streets of the city of Caorle . It is at this stage that in 1966 he was at the XXXIII edition of the Venice Biennale with the electronic work SPCE (electronically controlled polycyclic structure), which is also the invitation of Pierre Restany to participate with electronic works at the SuperLund exhibition in Sweden. In 1971, he moved to Milan with his family, where he established his study. At this point, though with incursions in other parallel fields such as the realization of mirrors and stained glass, painting, and sporadically sculpture - which had approached the Istal period - is at the center of its activity. It is at the beginning of the seventies that it deepens the geometric language, already open with some previous experiences (accident prevention signs for the Italsider, some multiples for the Deposit and electrical imagery signals), replacing it with the informal one. In 1979 he produced a magazine - which will remain the same number - by the name of Res Publica , for which he receives the contributions of intellectuals and artists, including Umberto Eco, Antonio Porta , Gillo Dorfles , Richard Paul Lohse...

  • #396, The Self Representation of Light, Unique Luminogram, Drawn by Light
    Located in London, GB
    #396, 2016 Silver Gelatin Luminogram Print, Framed (classic museum style white book mount board and black frame) Image size: 40.6 x 30.5 cm Framed: 58 x 49 cm Unique Series: The Self Representation of Light Signed and dated in pen on verso © Michael Jackson The Luminograms are made from the most simple of procedures - directing light onto silver gelatin photo paper. However, it is that simplicity that allows Jackson to adapt his own way of thinking into the making of the finished piece. As he says, it's as close as he can get in photography to painting. After moving to Wales in 2007, Michael Jackson spent the next eight years creating an extensive study of a single local beach - Poppit Sands. After years of examining the beach, he realised that in effect he was studying himself and his reaction to the beach - rather than the physical landscape. He then started looking at the beach as simply a way of dividing up the camera frame - the lines and curves and focal points. It was during the long period of producing Poppit Sands prints in the darkroom that he discovered how to start making luminograms. "I feel strongly that the luminograms represent a form of moulded light. You use your process to direct and mould the light and the paper receives it in its own magical way and translates that into a form that seems fantastical but also it has one foot in reality. The piece itself so often seems like a photograph of a sculpture, when it fact it is neither. I imagine that I am taking something that you cannot feel and I am making it appear in a seemingly three dimensional form that is balanced and controlled. Just like sculpting clay." Michael G Jackson...
