Made from quotidian materials, Kingelez's sculptures evoke visionary architectures

The sculptures of Bodys Isek Kingelez (1948-2015) are imagined architectural propositions and improbable structures for a fairytale urban landscape. Comprised of paper, commercial packaging and the stuff of everyday life, his "extreme maquettes" transform these materials into fantastic visions that encompass civic buildings, public monuments and private pavilions. Born in the Belgian Congo, Kingelez gained international renown following his participation in the landmark 1989 exhibition Magiciens de la Terre at Centre Georges Pompidou and the Grande Halle of the Parc de la Villette, and since that time, his work has been included in numerous global surveys and in several solo presentations. Published to accompany the first retrospective of his work, this volume traces the span of Kingelez's three decade career, from never-before-exhibited early works to sculptures that launched his career in 1989 and the complex and multifaceted cities of later decades, bringing his rarely seen, distinctive oeuvre to international audiences. Featuring stunning new photography of his work, this serves as the most comprehensive volume on the artist to date.

The exhibition and the volume present works displayed in four rooms of the museum (Salone di Mariano Rossi, Sala di Apollo e Daphne, Sala degli Imperatori and Sala di Enea e Anchise) and the adjacent gardens, describing an osmotic flow between organic matter and the inner rooms as well as between the bronze works and the botanical wealth of the garden.Penone's projects are not works arranged to embellish a place, but rather to present a question about sculpture, its historical evolution and its character of unchanged vitality. This research is a central element in the artist's work, the first and simplest idea of vitality, culture, sculpture and, at the same time, it renews the linguistic articulation between landscape and sculpture already present in ancient statuary and the Galleria Borghese, a place unique worldwide.
