This richly illustrated exhibition catalogue explores the poetic and philosophical dialogue between the Portuguese sculptor Rui Chafes (b. 1966) and the iconic Swiss modernist Alberto Giacometti (1901&ndash;1966). While Giacometti&#8217;s process focused on de-materialisation to evoke the invisible, Chafes works with iron to push the boundaries of physical perception. Their shared ambition to capture stillness, silence, and the spiritual essence of form resonates throughout the book. Published alongside the exhibition at Museum Beelden aan Zee in The Hague, and co-organised by the Fondation Giacometti and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, this is the first major presentation of Chafes&#8217; work in the Netherlands. Essays and images together offer an immersive experience into the sensibilities of both artists.<\/p>\n<p>Text in English and Dutch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A poetic dialogue between Rui Chafes and Alberto Giacometti, exploring immateriality, sculpture, and silence through striking visual and philosophical contrasts across time.
