About the Item
unique, open edition
Peter Baran was born in Bratislava, Slovakia in 1993. He graduated in 2019 from the University of the Arts in London and has decided to pursue his career as a sculptor. Peter's fascination with concrete comes from the material itself - it is classless and globally used, allowing him to capture the ideas of universally understood objects, which can carry a different meaning or status depending on their owner's geographic location. Concrete is the primary building material of our world, it is the most material made by us. In 2021, he started the REGULAR CONCRETE - the studio, where he is the sole maker and designer of sculptures. Peter's custom concrete mixture that he had developed for his practice and the hand sanding pushed the limits of the material to new levels. It allows him to contradict what he likes to call the "material stereotype" - when people hear the word concrete, they usually imagine something rough and big and extremely heavy, but in his works, this material is used with very fine details and a smooth finish. He treats concrete like marble. Making this material mismatch creates fascination or more questions or both - but, that is what he wants, to make the audience think.
The artist says of his work...
Concrete is the most used man-made material in the world, making it the perfect material to capture the man-made world. My love for working with it comes from my fascination with the material itself and from the ability to create a mismatch of this rough building material with shapes people are not used to seeing from it. When the shape and material mismatch, that's when the magic happens, the thoughts come and the art starts to speak. Concrete lasts an eternity, which is exactly the same amount of time as the impact of the objects which inspired me, will last.

- Stand-Ins for Period of Wreckage 25By Theaster GatesLocated in Palm Desert, CAA sculpture by Theaster Gates. "Stand-Ins for Period of Wreckage 25" is a contemporary sculpture, white concrete and porcelain by American, Blue Chip artist Theaster Gates. The artwork is unsigned. Theaster Gates' practice includes sculpture, installation, performance and urban interventions that aim to bridge the gap between art and life. Gates works as an artist, curator, urbanist and facilitator and his projects attempt to instigate the creation of cultural communities by acting as catalysts for social engagement that leads to political and spatial change. Gates has described his working method as “critique through collaboration” – often with architects, researchers and performers – to create works that stretch the idea of what we usually understand visual-based practices to be. For his exhibition at Milwaukee Art Museum exhibition in 2010, for example, Gates invited a 250 strong gospel choir into the galleries to sing songs adapted from the inscriptions on pots by the famous 19th century slave and potter 'Dave Drake'. For the 2010 Whitney Biennial, Gates transformed the Whitney’s Sculpture Court with a spare, architectural installation that functioned as a communal gathering space for performances, social engagement, and contemplation. For the duration of the exhibition Gates collaborated with various creative practitioners on a series of 'monastic residencies', holding live events such as the session by Gates' musical ensemble, the Black Monks of Mississippi. In another recent exhibition at Seattle Art Museum, Gates transformed the gallery into an audio archive entitled 'The Listening Room', incorporating a hand-built DJ...Category
