The Conrad’s Wheel

Conrad Shawcross’ Patterns of Absence characterises this suite, and, indeed, Conrad is a very important figure in the Magic Megève project. His work is spread across the entire chalet, from the doors, to the lights in the spa and the skiroom. Conrad’s sculptures explore subjects that lie on the borders of geometry and philosophy, physics and metaphysics.

Attracted by failed quests for knowledge in the past, he often appropriates redundant theories and methodologies to create ambitious structural and mechanical montages, using a wide variety of materials and media, and often working on an epic scale. This has been combined with artworks by Jorge Pardo, and Hania Farrell’s My Aura in the Sun.
