equatorjournal: Otto Piene, Berlin Superstar, 1984. Lone Pine. “Otto Piene was a romantic idealist, a pioneer of multimedia art, and, working in close cooperation with scientists, a mentor of a generation of artists today who work and do research scientifically, ecologically, and technologically. Without Otto Piene and the ZERO group he founded with Günther Uecker and Heinz Mack, the sensational projects of Olafur Eliasson and Thomas Sarraceno would surely be viewed differently today. In his work, Piene also anticipated the idea of the “collective,” of producing and experiencing art together with others, which is so relevant for today’s artistic practice. Like the art of ZERO, Piene’s work breaks down borders, ideologies, and nationalities.”https://www.instagram.com/p/CWq9OCctpVL/?utm_medium=tumblr -- source link
