About this book
Known for its clean and restrained aesthetic, minimalism is often appreciated for its appearance more than its principles. The Art of Less reclaims minimalism as a sensory and intellectual practice. Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen of Copenhagen-based Norm Architects and Sarah Dorweiler, founder of Aesence, a curatorial platform dedicated to contemporary minimalist art and design, profile 20 contemporary artists, designers, and architects whose work demonstrates that reduction is about presence, not emptiness. Organized around the five elements of balance, rhythm, contrast, space, and materiality, the book reveals how restraint creates resonance. It presents minimalism as a way of thinking, feeling, and creating.
