2021 - Vancouver - 217.5 Arcs X 13 by Bernar Venet
2021 - Vancouver - 217.5 Arcs X 13 by Bernar Venet

Explore 23 April, 2021.

This Sunset Beach sculpture "217.5 Arc x 13" by French artist Bernar Venet is in the permanent collection of Vancouver's Biennale exhibitions.

On this day it was double purposed as a hammock hanger.

Vancouver Biennale was founded by Barrie Mowatt in 2002. The first bienniale ran from 2005-2007. It featured 24 public works of art from 11 countries.

The Vancouver Biennale Legacy Foundation is a Biennale component, committed to leaving a legacy of public art in the city by acquiring major pieces of sculpture from each exhibition and offering them to Vancouver and the surrounding area for long-term display.

The legacy programme ensures the city benefits from a legacy of internationally acclaimed works of art for generations to come.

ABOUT 217.5 Arc x 13:
The sculpture consists of 13 corten steel arcs and weighs 12,125 lbs. Each arc is the same size.

Bernar Venet’s work is part of his Arc series of sculptures illustrating the beauty, balance, and malleability of raw steel.

The name of this artwork is a precise description of its mathematical composition. All of the beams in the sculpture are nested and curved to the same angle providing a sense of balance and grace.

Venet employs mathematical manipulations of this industrial material to explore the interconnected relationships amongst nature, humanity, and the universe.

The repetitive thirteen curves give a resting yet rhythmic sense of movement and fluidity. The raw red-brown rust colour of the unpainted surfaces of the corten steel, an authentic surface upon which Venet insists, facilitates an interaction with the natural elements.

“Increasing levels of abstraction and complexity frighten those for whom art is a means to attain a comfortable expression of calm, luxury, and delight.” – Bernar Venet
