These unusual objects help the artist to create “pictures” which convey a sense of the forgotten forces of an archaic world.\u003c?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" \/\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt\"\u003e\u003cFONT size=2\u003eThis publication accompanies the latest work of the Greco-Italian artist, who has assembled his dynamic installation—titled \u003cI\u003eLabyrinth\u003c\/I\u003e—in the large pavilion at the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin. In the open-plan, seemingly endless hall, Kounellis has used sheets of metal to erect an apparently impenetrable labyrinth. In the various rooms resulting from this maze’s existence, we discover and explore works from the different stages of the artist’s creative development—it is as though we are on a journey through his life.\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt\"\u003e\u003cFONT size=2\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/P\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt\"\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt\"\u003e\u003cFONT size=2\u003eA\u0026nbsp;\u003cSPAN class=838381713-11022008\u003echeck\u003c\/SPAN\u003elist of all works\u0026nbsp;\u003cSPAN class=838381713-11022008\u003ein the \u003c\/SPAN\u003eexhibit\u003cSPAN class=838381713-11022008\u003eion\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u0026nbsp;can be downloaded from our website.\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt\"\u003e\u003cFONT size=2\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/P\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt\"\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003cFONT size=2\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cFONT size=2\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003cFONT size=2 face=TheSans\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt\"\u003e\u003cFONT size=2\u003eExhibition schedule: Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin, November 8, 2007–February 24, 2008\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP\u003e\u003cFONT size=2 face=TheSans\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/P\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\n","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44874832380168,"sku":"9783775721080","price":35.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775721080_0f1231a9-64f5-4975-b324-b7960d1b3e64.jpg?v=1744102201","url":"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/15894-jannis-kounellis","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
