| dbo:abstract | James Lee Byars (* 10. April 1932 in Detroit; † 23. Mai 1997 in Kairo) war ein US-amerikanischer Künstler. (de) James Lee Byars (April 10, 1932, Detroit, Michigan – May 23, 1997, Cairo, Egypt) was an American conceptual artist and performance artist specializing in installations and sculptures, as well as a self-considered mystic. He was best known for his use of personal esoteric motifs, and his creative persona that has been described as 'half dandified trickster and half minimalist seer'. Byars' notable performance works include The Death of James Lee Byars and The Perfect Smile, and in terms of multiple sculptures, the many letters he wrote that were composed as decorated sculptures. (en) James Lee Byars (Detroit, 10 april 1932 - Caïro, 23 mei 1997) was een Amerikaanse beeldhouwer en performance kunstenaar. Byars studeerde kunst, psychologie en filosofie in zijn geboortestad. Eind jaren 50 verhuisde hij naar Kioto in Japan. In de jaren 70 bereikte hij vooral in Europa bekendheid met zijn performances, objecten, beelden en installaties. In 1974 was hij te gast in het atelier van de Deutsche Akademische Austausch Dienst (DAAD) in Berlijn, waar hij de Gouden Toren (Golden Tower) bedacht die hij in verschillende versies en op meerdere plaatsen tentoonstelde, zoals op de documenta 7 (1982), in Kassel. Andere documenta's waaraan hij deelnam waren de documenta 5 (in 1972), en de documenta 8 (in 1987). In 1994 ontving hij als Magier der Stille de eerste . Het Museum Ludwig in Keulen schonk hij daarvoor The Perfect Smile, dat als het eerste immateriële kunstwerk in een museum genoemd wordt. Museum Slot Moyland in Bedburg-Hau bezit van hem het beeld The Spinning Oracle, dat opgesteld staat in de slotgracht en bestaat uit een goudkleurige amfora, die op het water lijkt te drijven. Byars schreef gedurende zijn leven als een vorm van mail art vele bijzondere brieven aan Joseph Beuys. Hij gebruikte daarvoor speciale papiersoorten, grote langgerekte papierformaten en een heel eigen decoratief handschrift. De brieven werden door de ontvanger nooit per post beantwoord, wel verbond hen een langdurige vriendschap. (nl) |

| dbp:quote | "The room you dare not enter is golden and gleaming, both sunset and sunrise. I like the fact that the current incarnation is dated right there on the wall label as 1994 – 2004. Is Byars, who supposedly died of cancer in Cairo in 1997, still alive? Or are some mysterious death-bed instructions being followed? Is someone channeling him? You thought art was about life. Wrong. In a sense, every artist’s every artwork is a memorial." (en) |
