'''Daniel Buren''' (born 25 March 1938, in Boulogne-Billancourt) is a French [[conceptual art]]ist, painter, and sculptor. He has won numerous awards including the Golden Lion for best pavilion at the Venice Biennale (1986), the International Award for best artist in Stuttgart (1991) and the prestigious Premium Imperiale for painting in Tokyo in 2007. He has created several world-famous installations, including "Les Deux Plateaux"(1985) in the Cour d'honneur of the Palais-Royal, and the Observatory of the Light in Fondation Louis Vuitton. He is one of the most active and recognised artists on the international scene, and his work has been welcomed by the most important institutions and sites around the world.

== Work ==
Sometimes classified as a [[Minimalism|Minimalist]], Buren is known best for using regular, contrasting colored stripes in an effort to integrate visual surface and architectural space, notably on historical, landmark architecture.

Among his primary concerns is the "scene of production" as a way of presenting art and highlighting facture (the process of 'making' rather than for example, [[mimesis]] or representation of anything but the work itself). The work is [[Site-specific art|site-specific]] [[Installation art|installation]], having a relation to its setting in contrast to prevailing ideas of an autonomous work of art.

=== Early work ===
He graduated from the [[École nationale supérieure des arts appliqués et des métiers d'art|Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Métiers d'Art]] in Paris, in 1960.<ref>[http://www.tate.org.uk/servlet/ArtistWorks?cgroupid=999999961&artistid=833&page=1&sole=y&collab=y&attr=y&sort=default&tabview=bio Daniel Buren] Tate Collection.</ref> He began painting in the early 1960s. However, by 1965 – a year he spent in the Grapetree Bay Hotel on the Caribbean island of [[Saint Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands|Saint Croix]]<ref>[http://www.phillipsdepury.com/auctions/lot-detail.aspx?sn=NY010710&search=&p=3&order=&lotnum=25# Daniel Buren: ''Peinture émail sur toile de coton'', 1965] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110726092420/http://www.phillipsdepury.com/auctions/lot-detail.aspx?sn=NY010710&search=&p=3&order=&lotnum=25 |date=26 July 2011 }} [[Phillips de Pury & Company]].</ref> where he was contracted to make [[frescoes]] – he had abandoned traditional painting for the 8.7&nbsp;cm-wide vertical stripes, which alternated between white and one color, which have become his signature. Working on-site, he strives to contextualise his artistic practice using the stripe – a popular French fabric motif – as a means of visually relating art to its situation, a form of language in space rather than a space in itself.{{Citation needed|date=October 2016}} Denoting the trademark stripes as a visual instrument or "seeing tool," he invites viewers to take up his critical standpoint challenging traditional ideas about art.{{Citation needed|date=October 2016}}

He began producing unsolicited public art works using striped awning canvas common in France: he started by setting up hundreds of striped [[posters]], so-called ''affichages sauvages'', around Paris and later in more than 100 Metro stations, drawing public attention through these unauthorised bandit-style acts.{{Citation needed|date=October 2016}} In June 1970 he put stripes on the front and back of Los Angeles bus benches without permission. In another controversial gesture he blocked the entrance of the gallery with stripes of his first [[solo exhibition]].{{Citation needed|date=October 2016}} Expanding on this idea, in 1971 he created a six-foot banner, ''Peinture-Sculpture'', to divide the [[Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum]]'s rotunda in New York.{{Citation needed|date=October 2016}} For his first New York City solo show in 1973, Buren suspended a set of nineteen black and white striped squares of canvas on a cable that ran from one end of the John Weber Gallery to the other, out the window to a building on the other side of [[West Broadway]] and back.<ref>Linda Yablonsky (20 March 2005), [https://www.nytimes.com/2005/03/20/arts/design/20yabl.html?pagewanted=all&position= The Guggenheim Outcast Who Laughed Last] ''[[The New York Times]]''.</ref> Nine pieces were inside the gallery and nine outside; a middle piece, which connected the outside and the inside parts of the installation, was placed half-in and half-out in the opening where the window frame had been removed for the duration of the exhibition.<ref>[http://2012.monumenta.com/en/within-and-beyond-the-frame ''Within and Beyond the Frame'', 1973] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150213030705/http://2012.monumenta.com/en/within-and-beyond-the-frame |date=13 February 2015 }}, ''Monumenta 2012'', Paris. Retrieved 2015-02-12.</ref> In 1977 Buren cut up one of his artworks from 1969 and made a new work, designating that the sections should hang in the corners of a wall, whether that wall was empty, had doors or windows, or even had other artworks already hanging on it.<ref>[http://www.moma.org/collection/browse_results.php?criteria=O%3AAD%3AE%3A873&page_number=2&template_id=1&sort_order=1 Daniel Buren: ''One Painting in Four Elements for One Wall'', 1969–77] MoMA.</ref>

As a conceptual artist, Buren was regarded as visually and spatially audacious, objecting to traditional ways of presenting art through the museum-gallery system while at the same time growing in hot demand to show via the same system. In the late 1960s he connected to the ideas of space and presentation arising through [[Deconstructionism|deconstructionist philosophies]] that had as their background the [[May 1968 events in France|May 1968 student demonstrations in France]]. Between 1966 and 1967, he joined forces with fellow artists [[Olivier Mosset]], Michel Parmentier, and [[Niele Toroni]] to form the [[BMPT (art group)|BMPT]], whose intention was to reduce paintings to the most basic physical and visual elements through the systematic repetition of [[motif (visual arts)|motif]]s.{{Citation needed|date=October 2016}}

Often referred to as "the stripe guy," Buren also expresses his theme in paint, [[Laser cutting|laser cut]] fabric, [[light box]]es, transparent fabrics and [[Ceramic art|ceramic cup sets]].{{Citation needed|date=October 2016}} His stripes are displayed in private homes, public places, and museums worldwide. Since the 1950s he has amassed some 400,000 of what he calls ''photos-souvenirs'', documenting his work and travels around the globe.{{Citation needed|date=October 2016}}

=== Installations ===
From 1960 on, Buren designed a number of permanent site-specific installations in the United States, Belgium, France, and Germany. In 1986 he created a 3,000-square-meter sculpture in the great [[courtyard]] of the [[Palais Royal]], in Paris: ''[[Les Deux Plateaux]]'', more commonly referred to as the ''Colonnes de Buren'' ("Buren's Columns").{{Citation needed|date=October 2016}} This provoked an intense debate over the integration of [[contemporary art]] and historic buildings.{{Citation needed|date=October 2016}} In 1993, Buren was [[commission (art)|commission]]ed to design the work in situ, ''Poser/Déposer/Exposer,'' for the Café Richelieu at the [[Louvre]] in collaboration with Jean-Pierre Raynaud.

Since the 1990s, Buren's work has become more architectural. He creates new spaces within existing environments such as city centers (''A Colored Square in the Sky'', 2007), public parks (''La Cabane Éclatée aux 4 Salles'', 2005), entire museums (''The Eye of the Storm'', 2005), and even beaches (''{{lang|fr|Le Vent soufle où il veut}}'', 2009).<ref>[http://www.crownpoint.com/artists/91/biographical-summary Daniel Buren] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110928235717/http://www.crownpoint.com/artists/91/biographical-summary |date=28 September 2011 }} Crown Point Press, San Francisco.</ref> For ''Green and White Fence'' (1999/2001) Buren installed a functional fence sculpture, consisting of fence posts at four-meter intervals, painted green and white 87-millimeter stripes along a single ridge line: Since the first part's installation, the artist's theme has been extended until, over time, it will become the only form of fence on [[Alan Gibbs|Gibbs Farm]] in New Zealand.<ref>[http://www.gibbsfarm.org.nz/buren.php Daniel Buren] Gibbs Farm.</ref> In 2004, for the occasion of the opening of the French cultural year in China, Buren exhibited in his [[in situ]] installation ''De l'azur au Temple du Ciel'' (From the sky to Temple of Heaven) at [[Temple of Heaven]] in Beijing.<ref>[http://www.chengxindong.com/index.php?option=com_xdcsection&sectionid=4&task=artists1&catid=40&artid=12&Itemid=41&lang=en Daniel Buren] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111029071516/http://www.chengxindong.com/index.php?option=com_xdcsection&sectionid=4&task=artists1&catid=40&artid=12&Itemid=41&lang=en |date=29 October 2011 }} Xin Dong Cheng Space for Contemporary Art, Beijing.</ref> ''A Rainbow in the Sky'' (2009) consisted of thousands of colorful pennant flags hovering over a busy pedestrian square in [[Pasadena, California]] for two months.<ref>[http://www.flaxfoundation.com/rainbow_in_the_sky ''A Rainbow in the Sky'', an outdoor installation by Daniel Buren, 8 August – 15 November 2009] Flax Foundation, Pasadena.</ref>

Buren collaborated with [[Hermès]] on a number of occasions. The artist inaugurated Hermès' contemporary art gallery La Verrière in [[Brussels]] in 2000 by transforming its walls with bold graphics, colours and his trademark stripes, and later opened the Atelier Hermès in [[Dosan Park]], Seoul with his ''Filtres colorés'', coloured panels that diffused the light to dramatic effect.<ref>Malaika Byng, [http://www.wallpaper.com/fashion/herm232s-scarves-by-daniel-buren/4914 Hermès scarves by Daniel Buren] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101024043608/http://www.wallpaper.com/fashion/herm232s-scarves-by-daniel-buren/4914 |date=24 October 2010 }} ''[[Wallpaper (magazine)|Wallpaper Magazine]]''.</ref> In 2010, he created "Photo souvenirs au carré", a 365 limited-edition line of scarves decorated with silk-printed photographs.<ref>Marta Casadei (20 October 2010), [http://www.vogue.it/en/magazine/daily-news/2010/10/hermes-365-foulard-d-arte Hermès, 365 foulards become objects of art] ''[[Vogue Italia]]''.</ref>

In 2009 Buren collaborated with the collective Ensemble(s) La Ligne created by [[RCP Design Global]] agency, with, among others, Louis Dandrel and [[Roger Tallon]] to create ''Curseur'' (2009–2013). It is a work in situ – for [[Tours#Transport|Tours Tram]] – three black and white stripes vertically, which will join the same horizontal marking on the ground, both at right angles to the doors' opening. Trainsets shaped cursor with "[[mirror]] effect" identified in black and white [[wikt:stripe|stripe]]s.<ref>{{in lang|fr}} [http://www.ville-rail-transports.com/content/le-mod%C3%A8le-%C2%AB-curseur-%C2%BB-retenu-pour-le-tram-de-tours-1 ''Le modèle « curseur » retenu pour le tram de Tours''].

[[Railway Gazette International]], 09-2010.</ref>

In 2014, the rooftop of Modernist architect Le Corbusier's Cité Radieuse building in Marseilles hosted an installation of mirrors and coloured glass by Buren. ''Défini, Fini, Infini'' (2014) was an installation for the Marseilles Modulor (MaMo), led by French designer Ora-Ïto, who in 2013 transformed the iconic rooftop into an international arts space.<ref>de zeen magazine (16 July 2014), [http://www.dezeen.com/2014/07/16/daniel-buren-installation-mirrors-coloured-glass-le-corbusier-cite-radieuse-rooftop/].</ref>

In 2017, Buren completed his first permanent installation in the United Kingdom, 'Diamonds and Circles' permanent works 'in situ', a work for [[Art on the Underground]] on the walls of the expanded ticket hall at [[Tottenham Court Road tube station|Tottenham Court Road]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://art.tfl.gov.uk/projects/permanent-commission-by-daniel-buren/|title = 'Diamonds and Circles', works 'in situ'}}</ref>

=== Performance ===
From 1966 to '67, Buren and the other BMPT artists staged a series of performances they called ''manifestations'', in which the group made or exhibited their work in public as a critical encounter with audiences.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.artcritical.com/2016/03/06/saul-ostrow-on-bmpt/|title=BMPT at Hunter College: All There Is To It|date=2016-03-06|website=artcritical|access-date=2016-10-12}}</ref>

''Voile/Toile – Toile/Voile'', a piece consisting of boat races followed by museum displays of sail-canvasses, was originally created for a regatta on the [[Wannsee]], Berlin, in 1975 and later produced in Geneva (1979), Lucerne (1980), Villeneuve-d'Ascq (1983), Lyon-Villeurbanne (1998), Tel Aviv (1999), Sevilla (2004), and Grasmere (2005). This work always has two separate parts. In the first, nine [[Optimist (dinghy)|Optimists]] are fitted with striped canvas sails (white with red, blue, yellow, green or brown stripes). The two white stripes at the edges are covered with white paint. The boats then race in a regatta. In the second part, after the race, the sails are exhibited in a museum in the city where the regatta was held. They are presented in the order they crossed the finishing line, from one to nine and from left to right, as befits the exhibition area.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120514051118/http://www.monumenta.com/en/sail-canvas ''Voile/Toile – Toile/Voile'', 1975] Monumenta Paris.</ref> In 1973 and 1974 Daniel Buren, performs with [[Jannis Kounellis]], [[Wolf Vostell]] and other artists in Berlin at the ''ADA – Aktionen der Avantgarde''.<ref>[http://www.medienkunstnetz.de/works/ada/images/2/ ADA 1 y 2]</ref>

Initially presented in [[Genazzano]] in 1982, as part of a group project called ''La zattera di Babele'' ("The Raft of [[Tower of Babel|Babel]]"), ''Couleurs superposées (Layered colours)'' is an hour-long [[Performance art|public performance]], during which paper is pasted up and then torn down. For forty minutes, five actors paste striped colored paper on the wall, according to the artist's instructions. The white stripes must be exactly aligned. The spectators see colours and shapes appearing and disappearing as successive layers are added. Then for the remaining twenty minutes, the actors, still directed by the artist, tear off the freshly pasted papers to reveal fragments of the previous layers. The spectators watch the evolution of work on a picture that is never finished and whose successive stages are recorded only in their memory. After the performance, the piece is destroyed.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120513183213/http://www.monumenta.com/en/superimposed-colours ''Couleurs superposées'', 1982] Monumenta Paris.</ref> The piece was later performed in Tokyo, Bern, Eindhoven, Venice, Villeneuve d'Ascq, New York (2005), and Paris (2005).<ref>[http://www.praemiumimperiale.org/en/laureate/music/item/36-buren 2007: Daniel Buren] [[Praemium Imperiale]].</ref> In 2009, Buren directed ''Couleurs superposées'' at the {{Lang|fr|[[Opéra-Théâtre de Metz Métropole]]|italic=no}} on the occasion of the opening of the [[Centre Pompidou-Metz]].<ref>[http://www.centrepompidou-metz.fr/site/?-daniel-buren,3182- Daniel Buren: Echos, Work in situ, 8 May – 9 September 2011]{{Dead link|date=September 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} Centre Pompidou-Metz.</ref>

=== Writing ===
That writing is an important activity for Buren is made particularly clear in his collected texts'' Les Écrits'', published in 1991 and then in 2012.

== Exhibitions ==
Buren had his first important solo exhibition at the Galleria Apollinaire in Milan in 1968, where he blocked the only entrance to the gallery, a glass door, with a striped support. He has since presented his environmental installations worldwide. By the 1970s and 1980s he was exhibiting in Europe, America and Japan. Buren wished to take part in [[Harald Szeemann]]'s exhibition "When Attitudes Become Form", in [[Bern]] in 1969, without being invited. Two of the contributing artists offered him space, but he instead set about covering billboards in the city with his stripes. He was [[arrested]] and had to leave Switzerland.<ref>[[Adrian Searle]] (15 November 2006), [https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2006/nov/15/art Through the square windows]''[[The Guardian]]''.</ref> In 1971, Buren devised a banner, 20 by 10 metres, with white and blue stripes on both sides to be hung at the [[Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum|Guggenheim Museum]] in New York in a big international group show, conceived to encourage artists to exploit the building's space. Other artists, including [[Dan Flavin]] and [[Donald Judd]], protested that the banner blocked views across the rotunda, compromising their works. Buren, in turn, said Flavin's fluorescent lights colored his banner. The night before the opening, the banner was removed.<ref>[[Michael Kimmelman]] (25 March 2005), [https://www.nytimes.com/2005/03/25/arts/design/25KIMM.html Tall French Visitor Takes Up Residence in the Guggenheim]''[[The New York Times]]''.</ref> Buren was later invited to participate in the [[Documenta]]s 5 through 7 (1972–1982).

In 1986, when [[François Mitterrand]] was president of France, Buren attained leading artist status after he created ''Les Deux Plateaux'' (1985–86), a work in situ for the [[Cour d'honneur]] at the [[Palais-Royal|Palais Royal]] in Paris. That same year, he represented France at the [[Venice Biennale]] and won the [[Golden Lion Award]] for best pavilion. Buren had major solo exhibitions at the Touko Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo, in 1989, at the [[Centre Georges Pompidou]] in Paris in 2002,<ref>[http://www.guggenheim.org/new-york/press-room/releases/press-release-archive/2004/627-december-2-the-eye-of-the-storm-works-in-situ-by-daniel-buren The Eye of the Storm: Works in situ by Daniel Buren, 25 March – 8 June 2005] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150908083515/http://www.guggenheim.org/new-york/press-room/releases/press-release-archive/2004/627-december-2-the-eye-of-the-storm-works-in-situ-by-daniel-buren |date=8 September 2015 }} Guggenheim Museum.</ref> at the Guggenheim Museum in New York in 2005, at [[Modern Art Oxford]] in 2006, and at the [[Kunsthalle Baden-Baden]] in 2011. In December 2006 Buren won the competition to make ''Arcos Rojos/Arku Gorriaka'', a new major project for the iconic Puente de La Salve bridge next to the [[Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao]] while, in February 2007, the [[Musée Fabre]] in Montpellier re-opened with a new permanent commission. For the 52nd Venice Biennale, Buren created a new site-specific work for the [[Giardini]] of the Italian Pavilion, and was curator of [[Sophie Calle]]'s contribution to the French Pavilion.<ref>[http://www.lissongallery.com/#/exhibitions/2007-05-18_daniel-buren/ Daniel Buren, 18 May – 23 June 2007] Lisson Gallery, London.</ref> In 2011, he decided to cancel an exhibition at the [[Ullens Center for Contemporary Art]] in Beijing in "solidarity" with detained artist [[Ai Weiwei]].<ref>[https://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5hmEUrD4rwvh9UNnbLOwJX-vFW7qg?docId=CNG.ded665ce519942066fc596f3278101ce.4e1 French artist cancels China show over Ai detention] [[Agence France-Presse|AFP]].</ref> The fifth artist ever to fill the space of the [[Grand Palais]] on the occasion of the Monumenta exhibition, Buren conceived ''Excentrique(s)'' in 2012, a giant cluster of colored, transparent plastic discs, which overlap to form a colourful [[Canopy (building)|canopy]].<ref>Emma O'Kelly (11 May 2012), [http://www.wallpaper.com/art/excentriques-by-daniel-buren-for-monumenta-at-the-grand-palais-paris/5791 'Excentrique(s)' by Daniel Buren for Monumenta at the Grand Palais, Paris] ''[[Wallpaper (magazine)|Wallpaper Magazine]]''.</ref>
