Panamarenko's extraordinary sculptures--flying machines, submarines, and cars--blend science and art, technology and fantasy, the mechanical and the organic. For over thirty years this Belgian artist, who adopted the pseudonym Panamarenko in the 1960s, has obsessively explored movement, flight, space, energy and the force of gravity in his work. This new catalogue documents a major exhibition of his sculptures and drawings in London--an astounding spectacle that includes a giant flying saucer and his renowned Aeromodeller, an airship that fills an entire gallery. Panamarenko is in a sense one of the most original and visionary artists of the postwar period: his works are aesthetic inventions rather than representations; they resonate with the poetic and fantastical dimensions of the different forms of earthly and extra-terrestrial motion--like hovering, floating, and flying--as well as his fascination with systems of energy, magnetic fields, and the cosmos. This lavishly illustrated book has been written and designed by the artist himself.
