ARIK LEVY
Experimental Growth

8 November 2012 21 December 2012

Arik Levy’s project for the Bisazza Foundation revolves around Rock Chamber, a major sculptural work is became part of the Permanent Collection, where it is located in a space conceived and designed especially by the artist himself. For the first time since the opening of the Bisazza Foundation, an artist will not only put his name to an installation for the Foundation, but his project will also affect the very architecture of the spaces. 

As regards the site specific work titled Rock Chamber, Arik Levy adds: “This opus marks a transition towards monumental and functional sculpture on a large scale. Rock Chamber will be covered with mosaic tiles and will give the impression of a carbonized meteorite, which has passed through the atmosphere and arrived on the Earth. We are the prehistoric men of the future and this is our future cave”.

In the new hall dedicated to Levy and designed by him, an exhibition/installation will be staged through which the artist will be able to trace the creative evolution of Rock Chamber and the geometrical aspect of its material through the projection of an original video titled "Virtual Truth".
