The Greek artist Takis (Panagiotis Vassilakis) pioneered new art forms using magnetism, light and sound. Takis was born in Athens in 1925, where he died on August 9, 2019. Much of his artistic career and activity was focused in Paris, London and New York, as well as Athens, between 1950 and 1970. This exhibition will be the first solo presentation of his work in Barcelona.
Posenenske’s works can be described as oscillating between Minimalism and Conceptualism, participatory art and performance, social practice and institutional criticism. The exhibition brings together her first drawings and paintings (her earliest experiments with mark making), aluminium wall-reliefs, and her last and best-known modular sculptures.
Sampler #3. Anti-books is the third in a series of shows produced by the MACBA Study Centre to promote its collections and documentary holdings. On this occasion, the focus is on a selection of artists’ books from the 1960s and 1970s taken from the more than 4,000 artists’ books in the MACBA Archive influenced by conceptual and minimalist movements.
