Open publication - Free publishing - More Tanis
This series of photographs is the result of a six month residency of Dutch artist Aram Tanis in Beijing. (Tanis was born in South Korea.) Wandering along the streets of China’s ever expanding capital, along the vast construction sites, the dirty sweatshops, the shopping malls, the markets and the provisional dwellings of migrants in the cellars of enormous apartment blocks, Aram Tanis focuses on aspects of daily urban life that often escape the eye. Aram Tanis graduated from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy and did his two year residency at De Ateliers in Amsterdam where he was guided by Marlene Dumas, Steve McQueen and Fiona Tan among others. He exhibits his work around the world.
In the course of refurbishment works ART+COM was commissioned to create a signature art installation for the Departure-Check-in hall of Terminal 1 at Singapore Airport. “Kinetic Rain” is composed of two parts, each consisting of 608 rain droplets made of lightweight aluminum covered with copper. Suspended from thin steel ropes above the two opposing escalators, each droplet is moved precisely and seemingly floating by a computer-controlled motor hidden in the halls ceiling. The drops follow a 15-minute, computationally designed choreography where the two parts move together in unison, sometimes mirroring, sometimes complementing, and sometimes responding to each other.
