The Arts Arena presents a French conceptual artist Daniel Buren, creator of the Palais Royal’s "Buren’s Columns" and advocate for the maintenance of public art works.
Daniel Buren was born in 1938 in Boulogne-Billancourt, Hauts-de-Seine.
In 1986 he created a 3,000 m² sculpture in the great courtyard of the
Palais Royal, in Paris: "Les Deux Plateaux", more commonly referred to
as the "Colonnes de Buren. This provoked an intense debate over the
integration of contemporary art and historic buildings. Sometimes
classified as an abstract minimalist he is known best for using regular,
contrasting maxi stripes to integrate the visual surface and
architectural space, notably historical, landmark architecture.
This
event will take place on Tuesday, February 23, at 7pm and will be
followed by a cocktail reception.
