allora & calzadilla - entelechy

Titled Entelechy, the present exhibition is the first mid-career survey of the artistic duo and a unique opportunity to experience some of their most celebrated works. The concept of “entelechy", entails a sense of self-realized potential and vital force driving the development of every being; but it can also refer, in common language, to the unattainable perfection of an idea. This notion reflects the poetic and philosophical complexity of Allora & Calzadilla ongoing practice while it directly points at one of their most ambitious productions to date: a monumental coal sculpture cast from a tree struck by lightning. The works in this exhibition highlight the interdisciplinary and collaborative nature of the artists' practice, as well as themes that run throughout their entire oeuvre.
