Within his serie of works Arne Quinze presents this installation made in wood that, as Red Beacon in Shanghai, The Visitor in Lebanon or Camille in Le Pont Boieldieu in Rouen, treats the city as an "open-air museum" where his works surrounded the public every day.
Besides, inside the MAMAC, Arne Quinze presents us an installation named "Chaos in motion", made in wood and glass, which can be visited in the same dates as the outside installation.
To honour the structural renovations to the Museum of Contemporary and Modern Art (MAMAC) in Nice, Gilbert Perlein, Chief Curator and Director of the MAMAC invited internationally acclaimed contemporary artist Arne Quinze to make a public art intervention. Arne Quinze known for his large scale wooden and metal public art installations was the reference of choice to inaugurate the museums new start. Evoking communication and social interaction is Arne Quinze's biggest artistic driving force. Primarily by means of his large-scale constructions located in public places, he has amazed many a passer-by.
The wooden sculpture named 'Hommage à Alexander Calder' will be constructed from 8 april onwards and inaugurated the 19th of april. During the summer months and until the 27th of october this installation will evoke a dialogue between the museums architecture, the city and it's public.
