Francis Alÿs : ウィキペディア英語版 | Francis Alÿs
Francis Alÿs (born 1959, Antwerp) is a Belgian-born, Mexico-based artist. His work emerges in the interdisciplinary space of art, architecture, and social practice. After leaving behind his formal training as an architect and relocated to Mexico City, he has created a diverse body of artwork that explores urbanity, spatial justice, and land-based poetics. Employing a broad range of media from painting to performance, his works examine the tension between politics and poetics, individual action and impotence. Alÿs commonly enacts ''paseos''—walks that resist the subjection of common space.〔Carlos, Basualdo. "Head to Toes: Francis Alys's Paths of Resistance." ArtForum (April 1999).〕 Alys reconfigures time to the speed of a stroll, making reference to the figure of the ''flâneur'', originating from the work of Charles Baudelaire and developed by Walter Benjamin.〔Heiser, Jörg. "Walk on the Wild Side." Frieze Magazine. Sept. 2002. Web. 24 Aug. 2011. ().〕 Cyclical repetition and return also inform the character of Alÿs’ movements and mythology—Alÿs contrasts geological and technological time through land-based and social practice that examine individual memory and collective mythology. Alÿs frequently engages rumor as a central theme in his practice, disseminating ephemeral, practice-based works through word-of-mouth and storytelling. ==Early life and education== Alÿs grew up as Francis de Smedt in Herfelingen, about 25 miles outside Brussels, where his father was an appeals-court judge.〔Kevin Conley (May 10, 2011), (A Dangerous Mind: Francis Alÿs at MoMA ) ''Vogue''.〕 He studied architectural history at the Institute of Architecture in Tournai (1978–83) and engineering at the Istituto di Architettura in Venice (1983–6) before moving to Mexico City in 1986 where he arrived as part of a French assistance program after an earthquake to fulfill his Belgian civil-service requirement. Arriving just months after the 1985 earthquake, for the next 22 months he helped to build public works. At the end of this service, he took the name Alÿs to frustrate efforts by the Belgian authorities to meddle in his life. It was only years later that he turned it into his artistic pseudonym.〔Kevin Conley (May 10, 2011), (A Dangerous Mind: Francis Alÿs at MoMA ) ''Vogue''.〕
