Description

Remis Auditorium



Richard Serra: Thinking on Your Feet by Maria Anna Tappeiner (Germany, 2005, 94 min.). An elegant portrait of Richard Serra--the art world's man of steel--whose monumental sculptures are among the defining works of our time. The film focuses on The Matter of Time, a $20 million installation comprised of several forty-ton steel plates commissioned by the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. This sight-specific installation, the biggest sculptural commission ever created for a concrete space, reaches the limits of what is feasible in terms of size, form, and technology. Serra is wonderfully articulate in discussing his early paintings, Brancusi’s influence on him, the historical context in which his work developed, and the public controversies and hostility his art has engendered. In German and English with English subtitles.
