Ashnest sculpture by Anton Ginzburg
3647, Calle Bollani, Venezia, Italy
Situ Fabrication assisted the artist Anton Ginzburg in realizing a major show entitled At the Back of the North Wind, currently on view at the 2011 Venice Biennale. The centerpiece of the show is a sculpture that stands over 14 feet tall in the main hall of the Palazzo Bollani. 3D micro-CT scans of human bone previously used in a Situ Fabrication research project were re-purposed and modified to create the sinuous Ashnest. The core’s high density foam was milled on a 4-axis CNC router and reinforced by internal steel pins for strength and precise assembly. The painted foam segments are supported on metal posts that rise out of a gravel, ash and tar pit. The installation also includes seven relief sculptures–five of which represent the terrain of important sites for the project, abstracted and modified from maps and geographical data.
