Book Hero Magic crafted this summary to help describe this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Summary
Loris Gréaud explores the conceptual artist's diverse body of work, including installations, films, and architecture. Central to the book is Gréaud's long-term project, The Unplayed Notes, which investigates artistic production by giving form to ephemeral phenomena like temperature, light waves, and time. The book delves into the creative process itself, inspired by Karlheinz Stockhausen's idea that a work’s true meaning lies in its unplayed, unheard notes. It also previews Gréaud’s forthcoming project, The Underground Sculpture Park, set in the Oaxaca desert, with insightful essays by curator and theorist Nicolas Bourriaud. Presented bilingually in English and French.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The works by the conceptual artist Loris Gréaud include installations, films, and architecture, as does his long-term project taking place around the world, The Unplayed Notes. Viewers encounter an experimental field of diverse media, all of which attempt to give form to temperature, light waves, or time. Gréaud is interested in the stages of artistic production. The process of searching per se becomes visible in his installations.

This book reveals the development of his art, in accordance with the ideas of Karlheinz Stockhausen, which gave the book its name: the actual meaning of a work lies in its unplayed, unheard notes. It includes as well an introduction to his upcoming project The Underground Sculpture Park that will be inaugurated in the Oaxaca desert and two complementary essays by the artist's long-time collaborator, outstanding theorist, and curator Nicolas Bourriaud.

Bilingual: English and French.
