 The “Iron Poet”,  Richard Serra 

(November 2, 1938 – March 26, 2024)

Renowned sculptor Richard Serra, known for his monumental steel structures that reshaped the landscape of contemporary art, passed away at the age of 85 at his residence in Orient, N.Y.

His groundbreaking works, characterized by massive tilting corridors and spirals of steel, offered viewers a unique experience, inviting them to navigate through and around the imposing forms to fully comprehend their essence.

Because of this invitation to explore space, materiality, and site, the artist has been long-recognized in the architectural community, earning him the Architectural League of New York President’s Medal in 2014, becoming the first artist to receive the honor.

When architecture allows itself to breathe, it transforms into an experience. It’s incredible how the suitable material can dictate the mood of a space. Here, the raw concrete feels tactile, almost like it tells its own story, with each imperfection catching the light. The way daylight pours in elevates the space, highlighting every contrast and bringing warmth to the cool tones. The merging of hard surfaces with the softness of nature in this space speaks volumes about coexistence. The daylight streaming enhances the textures, adding layers to the materiality that shift as the sun moves. This interaction elevates the functionality, allowing the space to adapt and evolve with the light. How do you feel about the rawness of a space?

VERA MOTA | PERFORMING MATTERS @galeriabrunomurias 3 avril à 04:31  · Lisbonne, Portugal  

The compromise between matter as a transforming element and the body as an intimate and minute redux of that materiality marks VERA MOTA’s (Porto, 1982) second exhibition at Galeria BRUNO MÚRIAS — ‘Performing Matters’. Rehearsing tensions that preamble the transience of form and its impossibility, the exhibition reflects upon the acting quality of the materialities choreographed by the artist in the face of forces of containment and repetition of a gesture.

You’ve heard that you’re made of star stuff, but what does that mean? The chemical elements in our bodies — and everything else around us — were made in space billions of years ago, before our solar system formed. So where did some of your elements come from?

The hydrogen that makes up the water in your body was formed during the big bang.

The nitrogen in your DNA was once inside small stars. Those stars shed their outer layers at the ends of their lives, forming planetary nebulae and freeing their nitrogen to become part of our solar system.

The calcium that makes your bones healthy and strong was made by massive stars that exploded before our solar system formed.

The gold, silver, or platinum in the jewelry you’re wearing was created when two neutron stars collided.

The right materials had to come together to form the air we breathe, our bodies, and the planet we live on. Read more about how everything around us is made of star stuff in this Tumblr blog: https://tmblr.co/Zz_UqjaPr5GvSq00 #PeriodicTableDay
