The Black-Body Radiation

The Black-Body Radiation Laurent Grasso - The Black-Body Radiation
Conceived by the artist, an exhaustive monograph on Laurent Grasso's body of work, that resumes in the graphic design and models in the approach of scientific manuals while bringing back to the surface the documents, pictures, and informations that served as hidden scripts in the artwork. The monograph catalogues all the projects from 1999 up to now, with 300 color illustrations.
Laurent Grasso (born 1972 in Mulhouse, France) is an artist who lives and works between Paris and New York. Drawing on the visual possibilities of electromagnetic energy, radio waves, and natural phenomena, he explores their effect on our perception via immersive videos, sculptures, paintings, and drawings that resort to images or techniques borrowed from cinema or art history. He won the Marcel Duchamp Prize in 2008.
Edited by Laurent Grasso.
Texts by Elie During, Christophe Kihm, Marc-Olivier Wahler, interview with Laurent Grasso, Claire Staebler and Christophe Kihm.
