THE LAW OF GRAVITY

When something doesn’t change the history of art, is it even art? Bernar Venet, 80, says no. One of France’s greatest living artists and creator of the tallest public artwork in the world, Bernar talks to Y-JEAN MUN-DELSALLE about his latest exhibition at the Louvre-Lens Museum and his obsession with gravity, disorder and unpredictability.

Bernar Venet has always proclaimed, “It’s not art if it doesn’t change the history. From his foundation – a constant work-in-progress and representation of his ties with famous artists, such as Arman, Cesar, Man Ray and Christo – and a 6ha sculpture park to his Chateau de Versailles exhibition in 2011 and Arc Majeur, the world’s tallest public artwork (60m), every project he has created in his 60-year career has been an adventure and an accomplishment.

At 80, he is defying the effects of time, as neither physical nor mental ageing has affected him. It is still in his character to remain persistent and perfect, which means he’s always moving forward and innovating.

Size Matters

From one gargantuan work to another, Bernar’s visually recognisable bars of Corten steel will be on display at the Louvre Museum until January next year. He describes this ultimate recognition: “More than any other museum in the world, the Louvre embodies the idealised image of this paradise, where all the greatest artists in history meet forever. It is the image of a dream, and to enter it is the fulfilment of that dream.”
