En savoir plus sur le livre

Over the last millennia artists have created paintings and sculptures revealing the many various ideas of beauty in different ages and cultures. These works shows us that beauty can be radiant, harmonic, sober, gracious, elegant, precious, splendid and heroic. But it can also be unfettered, shattering, desperate, dreamlike, fantastic, playful and alluring. To accompany the exhibition „The Appearance of Beauty“ we have published an opulently illustrated book featuring texts and impressive photos of 150 of these artistic treasures which can be found in museums all over the world. A further chapter in the book is dedicated to the multimedia space event „320° Light“, created by the URBANSCREEN artists’ group. The project transforms the entire interior of the Gasometer into a huge multimedia artwork in a previously unseen and unheard fashion. Over a radius of 320 degrees viewers can marvel at fascinating graphic patterns growing and changing along the 100 metre high inner wall of the Gasometer, continually altering its shape in an interplay between reality and virtual reality.
