Richard Serra. To see is to think
Description
Famous for sculptures that combine fluidity with monolithic bulk, Richard Serra favors two basic materials: compressed steel, which he manipulates in a factory setting, and the natural spaces found at his installation sites. This program takes viewers inside Serra's creative process while documenting his work at locations across the globe. Featuring detailed interviews with the artist-and with longtime associates, including composer Philip Glass and master rigger Ernst Fuchs-the film supports visual analysis of The Matter of Time at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao as well as pieces installed in Berlin, Hamburg, New York, San Francisco, and many other cities. Brief portions are in French and German with English subtitles.
