Arne Quinze (born 15 December 1971) is a Belgian conceptual artist best known for his unconventional and controversial public art installations. Quinze also creates large and small sculptures, drawings, and paintings. In his late teens, he started out as a graffiti artist in Brussels, and he never completed a formal art education. ==Installation art== Quinze is known for his trademark sculptures〔( Arne Quinze's sculptures, I Love Belgium, 13 July 2010 )〕 made out of wooden planks. His installations are built to provoke reaction and to intervene in the daily life of passersby confronted with his sculptures. Quinze sees his installations as places where people meet each other again and start conversations. In 2006, he gained a lot of attention by building ''Uchronia: A message from the future'', a large wide wooden sculpture at the Burning Man festival in Black Rock City,in the Nevada desert, United States. ''Cityscape'' (2007) and ''The Sequence'' (2008) are two of his giant wooden public art installations in the centre of Brussels, Belgium. It was the first time a sculpture gave the impression touching two buildings in the city center while traffic still passes by underneath it. The installation for the Flemish Parliament became an unequivocal actor in the city. In Munich, Germany, he built ''Traveller'' (2008) for French luxury fashion and leather goods brand Louis Vuitton.〔( Arne Quinze & Louis Vuitton collab in Munich, Wejetset, 29 December 2008 )〕 Other public art installations by Arne Quinze have recently been revealed in the centre of Paris, France (''Rebirth'', 2008),〔(Rebirth by Arne Quinze, Neu Black, 7 September 2008 )〕 Beirut, Lebanon (''The Visitor'', 2009)〔( Public sculpture in Beirut, Gestalten, 12 August 2009 )〕 and Louisville, Kentucky (''Big Four Bridge, ongoing'')〔( Big Four Bridge proposal by Arne Quinze, Broken Sidewalk, 26 September 2009 )〕 During the festival Rouen Impressionnée which took place in Rouen in the summer of 2010 he paid tribute to the impressionist Claude Monet 〔(Monet Giverny Normandy, 11 July 2010 )〕 by painting ''Les Jardins/The Waterlilies'' series for an exhibition in the Abbatiale de Saint-Ouen. The festival was organized as the contemporary component of the Normandie Impressionniste festival, a festival under the presidency of Laurent Fabius, former French Prime Minister, celebrating the impressionist past of the region. Next to the exhibition an installation (''Camille'') 〔(www.camille-arnequinze.fr, 28 June 2010 )〕 was built on the Boieldieu bridge, a bridge that has been painted by the impressionist painter Camille Pissarro several times. Like a futuristic substitute for the market squares of old, Quinze sees his installations as places where people meet and converse as they used to in bygone eras. ''Red Beacon'' (2010) 〔(Global Times China, 3 September 2010 )〕 is placed in the Jing’an Sculpture Park, the pioneer of presenting public art in the heart of Shanghai located downtown in the Jing'an District. His sculptures redefine social space and provide alternative models of interaction. Other work is focusing on the axiom that people tend to seek a safe environment, a cocoon eliminating the unexpectable. The installation ''My Home My House My Stilthouse'' (2011) in Humlebaek, Denmark at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art shows the visitor a new form of how housing and living can be perceived.〔(GG Art, 14 May 2011 )〕 He revealed a virtual installation ''Rock Strangers'' (2011) 〔(Arne Quinze, 4 July 2011 )〕 on the Statue of Liberty in New York, US on the 4th of July in collaboration with Beck's 〔(Rock Strangers, Contagious Magazine , 5 July 2011 )〕 for their Green Box Project. The project is co-curated, commissioned and mentored by Nick Knight of SHOWstudio.com and producer Sam Spiegel. Commissioned work will only ever appear in the digital realm. Arne Quinze: "With these sculptures I'm looking for a confrontation with the public, I hope they start asking questions about what their function on this planet is. What happens when putting all of the sudden an alien element in the city, our habitual urban environment? How do we react to unusual objects if we are confronted with them in our daily lives? Who or what remains the stranger, the person confronted with it or the object itself?" In the context of Mons 2015 European Capital of Culture, a wooden installation called ''The Passenger'' has been build and will remain visible from 6 December 2014 until 19 December 2019. Unfortunately a partial collapsing occurred on 24th December 2014. The installation was fully rebuild on 15 October 2015 and inaugurated on 16 October 2015. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arne Quinze」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
