'the giacometti variations' by american conceptual artist john
baldessari is an original installation
made to be featured at the prada foundation in milan,
italy. as the name of the project states,
baldessari took influence from the imagery projected by the swiss
sculptor, alberto giacometti,
and has created nine, oversized female figures stretched to an extremely
slender form.
the 4.5 meter tall sculptures, made out of resin and steel then sprayed
with bronze, were clothed
in garments and objects also designed by baldessari. the result is an
immobile, snapshot of
a fashion show, integrating the ideas of art and fashion on a dramatic,
larger-than-life scale.
'I've always wanted to do tall paintings and sculptures. I suspect it's
because I am quite tall.
I've had little opportunity since most galleries have wall heights that
mirror the wall heights
of collector's homes,' says baldessari.

between the columns and under the exposed arches of the space at the
prada foundation,
the figures are dressed in looks are grounded in archetypes found in the
interrelationship
between film and fashion, such as the hot-pink bow in duchess satin (an
ironic revisiting
of the 1950s hollywood glamour of marilyn monroe), dorothy's ruby
slippers in 'the wizard of oz',
and humphrey bogart's trench coat in 'casablanca'.

the installation will unfold in segments throughout the months, showing a
total of eighteen
different loos in rotation. through this process of transformation,
baldessari aims to underscore
our society's current trend of consumption and the rate at which fashion
is consumed.
