Arne Quinze (born December 15, 1971, Belgium) is a conceptual artist, futurologist, visionary and businessman, best known for his unconventional and controversial public art installations.
[edit] Installation artAs an artist, Quinze is best known for his trademark sculptures made out of wooden planks. In 2006, he burned Uchronia: A message from the future, a 30m high and 60m wide wooden sculpture at the Burning Man festival in Black Rock City, Nevada, US. In 2006, he also creates Light, speed & innovation, a series of installations for Lexus in the United States. For Austrian luxury brand Swarovski, Quinze creates Dreamsaver (2007), a 12m long tunnel installation featuring 5,5km of Swarovski crystals. Cityscape (2007) and The Sequence (2008) are two of his giant wooden public art installations in the centre of Brussels, Belgium. In Munich, Germany, he built Traveller (2008) for French luxury fashion and leather goods brand Louis Vuitton.[1] Other public art installations by Arne Quinze have recently been revealed in the centre of Paris (Rebirth, 2008)[2], Beirut, Libanon (The Visitor, 2009)[3], Shenzhen, China (Shenzhen Sound Field, 2009) and Louisville, Kentucky (Big Four Bridge, ongoing)[4] [edit] Work Quinze's artwork is mainly about contrasts, contradiction, speed and time, frequently based on various adaptations of "Bidonvilles" and "Stilthouses", broadening further on his studies of livability in today's context. They are considered to be houses for the future as a parody on the way how people are living now and tranquilize or accelerate the living process intentionally, provoking open communication in a society of human interaction.[5] In 2007 he designs "Magna" and "Skytracer" futuristic studies for transport, considered as his vision on the new (conceptual) Lamborghini for 2100, an hommage to his favorite car brand. This science-fiction vehicles are listed among a series of other sculptures by the hand of Quinze that were presented for the first at his 2007 Mutagenesis solo-exhibition in Verona, Italy.[6] Studio Arne Quinze (SAQ) is a Belgium based conceptual architecture and design agency, and a creative cell for research, urbanology and communication. SAQ completed creative projects all over the world, including projects ranging from architecture, interiors, furniture, lighting, transport, footwear, visual arts, video and music to art installations. Quinze is co-founder (1999) and art-director of Quinze & Milan, a small cult design label, furniture company and creative platform which has facilities in Belgium and the US. Quinze & Milan is frequently commissioned by external international architecture and design firms, and collaborated on projects, such as the Seattle Central Library (2004), Utrecht University Library (2004), Wyly Theatre in Dallas, TX (2009) and Korean Air Lounges, Seoul (2008).[7][8] As an industrial designer, he is perhaps best known for his Primary Pouf, a simple and colorful seating object and sidetable solution, and developer of QMFoam, the material and coating technique in which most of the company's first furniture collections were made of. Quinze designed furniture for a broad range of projects for leading architects and many of his designs have been popular among Hollywood celebrities, such as Brad Pitt and Oprah Winfrey.[citation needed] In 2009, Quinze was commissioned art director of American singer Lenny Kravitz.[9][10] [edit] PersonalArne Quinze married his wife Barbara Feltus at their Miami waterfront home on 9 September 2009.
