Homage to Brâncuși
One day someone challenged him to build a violin. Brâncuși took the slats of an orange crate, dipped them in boiling water, bent them, cut them and made a violin. Then someone played it with music and songs. This event won the sympathy of a wealthy client who became his protector.
LUME Studios brings 'HOMAGE' to NYC to showcase Accelerate Art & Art Bees Gallery's tribute exhibition to Constantin Brancusi. Featuring 47 digital artworks made in conversation with Brancusi's legacy, curated by Claire Silver & NONE32X32.
This work was curated by Claire Silver for Homage, an exhibition organised by Art Bees in partnership with Accelerate Art.
The act of homage—of creation, in conversation with the work of another artist—reminds us that art is a living thing. Even Pleistocene cave art and the megaliths of Stonehenge still inspire; it is only natural that some of the world’s most innovative digital artists have joined together to celebrate the work of Constantin Brancusi with their own original creations.
Organised by Art Bees in partnership with Accelerate Art and hosted by the Constantin Brancusi Center of the Craiova Museum, HOMAGE will feature works from forty-eight digital artists, taking inspiration from Brancusi’s work and life.
The curators for this exhibition were NONE32X32 and Claire Silver with NONE32X32 curating the 18 featured artists and Claire Silver, the 30 artists who responded to an Accelerate Art open call thread on Twitter.
