‎I. M. Pei Life Is Architecture‎

‎The story of internationally renowned architect I. M. Pei's life and work, including such instantly recognisable buildings as the glass pyramid at the Louvre, Paris, and the National Gallery of Art's extension in Washington, D.C. When Chinese-American architect I. M. Pei died in 2019, the New York writer and critic Paul Goldberger said it was 'the end of an architectural era'. And yet Pei - one of the most prominent architects of the 20th century whose instantly recognisable buildings include the glass pyramid at the Louvre, Paris; the extension to the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; the Museum of Islamic Art, Doha, Qatar; and the Bank of China tower, Hong Kong - remains a remote figure in the architectural canon. By exploring the architect's iconic and lesser-known projects through new photography, a series of specially commissioned essays and previously unpublished archival material, I. M. Pei: Life is Architecture uncovers revelations about power, politics, race and transcultural identity that resonate ever more strongly in today's complex, transglobal world. I. M. Pei (1917-2019) was born in Ghougnzhou, raised in Shanghai and educated at Harvard. Unlike most architectural monographs, I. M. Pei: Life is Architecture goes beyond the usual building-by-building mix of building photographs and plans. Instead, the book is organized around six thematic chapters that deal with issues such as urban renewal, art and civic form, material and structural innovation, and power, politics and patronage. This book also explores transcultural identity - a significant issue that characterized Pei's unique practice and that continues to resonate with the complexity and diversity that define architectural practice today. Through a narrative of hitherto unpublished archival material, new photography, specially commissioned essays, and brief commentaries by scholars, influential practitioners and Pei's closest collaborators, this book presents the unknown Pei and tells the story of a master whose buildings dazzle the world.‎

‎Pei-Hsuan Wang I've Left My Body to Occupy Others‎

‎, Posture Editions Nr 57, 2024 softcover, 64 pages, 21 cm 29.7 cm Illustrated. ISBN 9789491262623.‎

‎Pei-Hsuan Wang?s practice is rooted in ways of engaging with her identity, much of which is shaped by the artist and her family's diasporic migration from Taiwan to the US. Folklore, family history, bio(mythos)graphical narratives and geopolitical musings are interwoven in her work, which primarily takes the form of sculpture, installation, drawing, and video. The artist?s recent projects are tributes and prayers to her kinship. Her niece Iris, a first-generation Taiwanese American, has inspired a body of work that imagines racial and cultural hybridity alongside various archetypes in nature and myths. Animal presences become a kind of guardian and portal, giving form to the inner experience. "The intergenerational transformations in Wang?s works range from spiritual beings and mythological creatures to humans, plants, fruits, pop culture characters such as Mulan, or animals. They underscore the more-than-human politics that hide behind the story of the women in her family, as well as behind those of other persons in the world. The self-fictionalization and hybridity she conveys through sculptures and drawings, connect experiences of being multiple, of being part of a cosmic world, of being in touch with ancestors and future generations to come." - May the Earth Spirits Guard Your Seedbeds, Zeynep Kubat The book is produced on the occasion of the Kortrijk Triennial (29.06-06.10.2024) where Pei-Hsuan Wang will have a solo presentation in Rhizome's space. ‎

‎Het werk van Pei-Hsuan Wang is geworteld in manieren om zich te verdiepen in haar identiteit, die voor een groot deel is gevormd door de diaspora-emigratie van de kunstenaar en haar familie van Taiwan naar de VS. Folklore, familiegeschiedenis, bio(mytho)grafische verhalen en geopolitieke overpeinzingen zijn verweven in haar werk, dat voornamelijk de vorm aanneemt van sculpturen, installaties, tekeningen en video. De recente projecten van de kunstenares zijn hommages en gebeden aan haar verwantschappen. Haar nicht Iris, een Taiwanese Amerikaanse van de eerste generatie, heeft haar ge nspireerd tot een oeuvre waarin ze zich raciale en culturele hybriditeit voorstelt naast verschillende archetypes uit de natuur en de mythen. De aanwezigheid van dieren wordt een soort bewaker en toegangspoort, vorm gevend aan de innerlijke ervaring. Wang heeft werk tentoongesteld in onder andere het Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Hong-Gah Museum, Taipei en de National Gallery of Indonesia.‎
