His 1960s happenings put Antwerp on the global art map, but he is now best known for his spectacular inventions. These constructions--flying carpets, mechanical birds, backpack helicopters--are frequently the result of rigorous experiment and meticulous calculation. Panamarenko is a witty empiricist, invested in the processes of making and experimenting for their own sakes, and a \"workbench visionary,\" as Anders Kreuger calls him in his catalogue essay. \u003ci\u003eUniversum\u003c\/i\u003e surveys Panamarenko's art from its beginnings to the present. Published to accompany a major exhibition at Antwerp's M HKA that brings together objects, drawings, models and editions organized around the three poles of objects, actions and thinking, this beautifully realized volume is a detailed exploration of Panamarenko's mental universe and artistic process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 12 x 9.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 24, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51769679085856,"sku":"9789491819209","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/2f9cdb7aa45ad00b13ec0d35d5bd9da6.webp?v=1780353244","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/panamarenko-universum-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
