Using Darwin’s original endeavor and On the Origin of Species as a starting point, Laurent Grasso and his studio have been engaged for several years in a process of examining the evolution, mutation, and transformation of the natural world, researching the irremediable transformation of nature by humankind and the inseparable intertwining of the natural and cultural worlds. Based on this enormous survey, the artist has composed a new film for the Musée d’Orsay, while a series of paintings and sculptures have been presented at Perrotin Shanghai.
The artist duo Elmgreen & Dragset’s fantastical inverted cityscape is inspired by iconic buildings in New York City and cities around the world, which the artists have woven into architectural designs of their own invention. Choosing to title the work The Hive, the artists suggest a link between natural and human-made structures, akin to the complex and evolving architecture of a hive. With technological precision, the imaginary city captures the multiplicity and synergy of the world’s metropolises.
