Pablo Reinoso will be presenting his new monograph edited by the publishing house 5 Continents, at Art Curial this thursday 23 March.

This 280-page work is a collection of the artist’s most important pieces, in addition to never-before-seen archive images. Including texts by Michel Serres, Gérard Wacjman and completed by an interview with Pablo Reinoso by the art critic Henri-François Debailleux.

Through the text entitled Géodésiques, Michel Serres, philosopher and epistemologist, commits himself to analyzing the artist’s fundamental rapport with space, volume and movement.

As Gérard Wacjman introduces his involvement, ‘Pablo Reinoso makes objects that disconcert the theorists. Disconcerting objects make us think. And that’s good. With a bold imagination, the writer and psychoanalyst moves freely throughout the vast repertoire of the artist’s work.

Finally, the monograph includes the re-transcription of the interview between Pablo Reinoso and Henri-François Debailleux: a first-person account retracing the sculptor’s career path.

About Pablo Reinoso

Pablo Reinoso (born 1955, Argentina) is a Franco-Argentinean sculptor. He has lived and worked in Paris since 1978.

He has worked in series since the 1970s, always rethinking his rapport with material, object and space. Pablo Reinoso tricks logic through his seemingly living works, giving his pieces a life of their own, widening the possibilities of reality.

The installation, "Ashes to Ashes", presented in Madrid (2002), marked a turning point in his research. Through his series, "Thoneteando", and the diversion of the chair Thonet n°14, a symbol of industrial design, Pablo Reinoso captured the object and reinvented it through new functions, modifying its DNA. The creation of the "Spaghetti Bench" (2006) propelled him to international recognition. Pablo Reinoso seeks to reconsider the role of the object through his lively and audacious works. The development of "Garabatos" (2010) and "Poutrelles" (2011) in steel, allowed the artist to develop his work in public spaces on a monumental scale.
