Massimo De Carlo, Milano

Massimo De Carlo opens Carsten Höller’s solo show Animals Works. One of the world's most well known and respected artists returns to Milan with a site specific project that tracks the artist’s interest in the animal kingdom. With a degree in Agronomy, specialised in Phytopathology and a thesis on insect olfactory communication, Carsten Höller conquered the art world during the nineties. He employs a pseudo-scientific approach to investigating objective reality and its perception; disorientation is an intrinsic component of his work.

卡斯滕·霍勒 (CARSTEN HÖLLER) 1961年生于比利时布鲁塞尔,现工作生活于瑞典斯德哥尔摩和加纳比里瓦。


霍勒将科学运用到艺术中,主要关注人性感知力与自我探索的本质。他的许多艺术项目都邀请观者一同参与互动,旨在探讨人类的行为、感知和逻辑。艺术家从自己的科学研究背景,特别是与化学相关的背景中汲取灵感,其艺术实践颠覆了常规的感官体验。


霍勒的作品被众多机构永久收藏,包括:蓬皮杜中心,巴黎;普拉达基金会,米兰;泰特美术馆,伦敦;卢玛基金会,阿尔勒。
