Cheng's genre-defying practice challenges our perceptions of environmental change and the role of technology in society
Published with The Contemporary Austin.
Carl Cheng (born 1942) first developed his art practice in Southern California in the 1960s amid a booming postwar aerospace industry, political unrest and an interdisciplinary art scene. In 1966 he incorporated his studio as John Doe Co., and from then on created sculptural "products" that reflect his conception of technology as an artistic tool. Originally recognized for his photographic sculptures, his inventive lexicon includes "art tools" employed in the production of ephemeral artworks, "nature machines" that anticipate an artificial world shaped by humans, kinetic installations and public art intended to reach broad audiences and question the relevance of art institutions.
Nature Never Loses surveys six decades of Cheng’s prescient, genre-defying work and accompanies the eponymous traveling exhibition organized by the Contemporary Austin. It is the definitive guide to Cheng’s career, including a detailed overview of his most impressive works and an abundance of never-before-seen archival material.

About the Author
En 1966, il a commencé à travailler sous le nom de John Doe Co. et a dès lors créé des « produits » sculpturaux qui reflètent sa conception de la technologie comme outil artistique. Reconnu à l'origine pour ses sculptures photographiques, son lexique inventif comprend des « outils artistiques » utilisés dans la production d'œuvres d'art éphémères, des « machines naturelles » qui anticipent un monde artificiel façonné par les humains, des installations cinétiques et des œuvres d'art public destinées à toucher le plus grand nombre.
Carl Cheng (né en 1942 à San Francisco) a commencé à développer sa pratique artistique dans le sud de la Californie dans les années 1960, dans un contexte marqué par des troubles politiques, une scène artistique interdisciplinaire, l'essor de l'industrie aérospatiale d'après-guerre et une transformation rapide du paysage. Ayant étudié à la fois les beaux-arts et le design industriel, il aborde dans son œuvre en constante évolution les changements environnementaux, la pertinence des institutions artistiques pour leur public et le rôle de la technologie dans la société.
