Steven Holl Architects’ celebrates the installation of One Two Five, a CNC-cut sculpture made of 21-million-year-old Lecce stone, at The Field Sculpture Park at Art Omi.
Originally created for a solo-exhibition at Galleria Antonia Jannone in Milan in April, the sculpture has been installed in Art Omi’s Architecture Field 01, as part of the Art Omi: Architecture program. It will remain for two years on the site.
The sculpture’s five elements relate to five points:
1. Structure: Luminist structure stresses the horizontal in space.
2. Measure: 1:1.618 is an abstract ideational order.
3. Light: Luminist light tends to be cool and hard.
4. Silence: Luminist silence implies presence through thereness rather than activity.
5. Size: intimacy is the luminous scale.
“One Two Five is a pivotal piece in the Architecture Fields at Art Omi,” says Art Omi: Architecture Director Warren James. “Up close there is a delicate intimacy to One Two Five and one can see an implied monumentality from afar.”
The sculpture will remain two years on the site. Installation made possible with support by ArtArc. Source by Steven Holl Architects, photos Courtesy of Original Copy.
