{"title":"Dennis Oppenheim","description":"\u003cp\u003eDennis Oppenheim (1938–2011) was an American conceptual artist whose practice moved across Land Art, Body Art, performance, and large-scale sculptural installation. A central figure in the post-Minimalist and Conceptual movements of the late 1960s and 1970s, Oppenheim consistently tested the limits of the art object — using his own body, the landscape, industrial materials, and architectural space as primary media.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter early works that engaged directly with the earth and the body as sites of intervention, Oppenheim shifted in the late 1970s toward increasingly theatrical environments: machine structures, light projections, and spatial constructions that combined industrial fabrication with performative and psychological dimensions. His exhibitions at venues including ARC Paris, Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, placed him within the international circuit of experimental contemporary art during this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection brings together exhibition ephemera, invitation cards, catalogues, and printed matter connected to Oppenheim's practice and institutional presentations.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"oppenheim-arc-paris-projects-78-79-inv-1979","title":"Dennis Oppenheim — Projects 78\/79, ARC Paris, 1979–1980","description":"\u003cp\u003eExhibition invitation card\u003cbr\u003eOffset print on folded card stock\u003cbr\u003e16 × 11.5 cm\u003cbr\u003eOriginal, 1979\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginal invitation for Dennis Oppenheim's \u003cem\u003eProjects 78\/79\u003c\/em\u003e exhibition at ARC Paris, Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, opening 14 December 1979 and running through 20 January 1980.
