Riding Modern Art / Available at www.draw-down.com / This volume brings together a collection of 50 black-and-white photographs of people #skateboarding on #sculptures in #publicspaces / French artist Raphaël Zarka, a historian of skateboarding, studied the process of appropriation and reuse of these works of art in the public realm—challenging skateboarders to test their limits with new maneuvers and tricks—and thereby shifting the approach to a work of art in a way that underlines the dynamism of modern urban sculpture. The idea of movement in these often abstract and geometric pieces is made visible by the skateboarders, translated into pure physics and raw energy. With works by #Picasso Oteiza, Volten, and more. The volume includes intentionally blank pages for the artists who did not want to have their work featured. Published by B42 #RidingModernArt
