wow, very productiv. It all looks really good, but isnt it a little much with the vitrines and the structure together? I for example cant see myself there in the moment, means that I wonder how I could integrate in such a structure.
in the moment i only have ideas for the walls. Still think it could be nice to have david with vitrines in the space ( means somewhere on the floor/ground) and me just working on the walls.
Im thinking of sort of wallpaintings/ asamblages / collages. One on the right, one left, and one on the back. i have some loose sketches yet, i will post tomorrow, to give you an image.
thats also what I ment in my last mail.
talk tomorrow

Heres my proposal for a kind of semi-transparent wall. Idea is it will function in several ways:
- divide the space so as to provide a compromise between individual works (ie what we talked about does a group show highlight difference or things in common)
- Become a structure that can have works hung on it so parts of the backs of works can also be seen.
- be a another piece of architecture that actually fits inside the space (unlike the house at front) maybe I can even look at the floor plans of the house to help design it?
- Echo the semi transparency/ and half finished nature of my vitrine works
- develop suggested pathways for viewers whilst they are still able to cross ambiguous dividing points.
It would be made out of standard construction timber (pine). Parts of it may extend to the walls and be attached. It could be rotated abit too so its not square on. One 3m section would be made of lots of thinner piece of wood; exactly like my wall at home. (see earlier post) It would be 3metres high, long sections 5metres and the back section 4 metres high. It could also be quite improvised when we build it - so it retains a sculptural quality rather than being just a practical device that we define our space with. Maybe title of whole show could be from old work of mine living with abstraction? (which was a quote from sven luettigen.... or must look up again)

two Vitrine rope works
Hi again, Here's two full scale mockups of vitrine works. The ropes will be painted and shaped etc.
The first is a regular one, 200cm x 200cm x 65cm. the Second is the same except it's been opened out to turn it into a kind of see through wall.
I have not been able to stop thinking about this video of soldiers taking over the museum in cairo during the protests:

I guess i'm interested in the way this and these vitrine works relate to a transparent kind of architecture we could create in the space. (see next post) also the way this transparency might relate to the process based work christian is talking about. Maybe this transparency hints at the failing of things, the degradation of rule when something is not fully stated using the entire language of conventions that we familiar with?

Hi all, funny that you mentioned that i might like to design a wall (in your last email christian) becuas eover the last few days I've been thinking about the wall I built at home. I've always wanted to hang some works on it. It's semi transparency, means it's half screen, half wall. It divides, slices, chops, makes skinny shapes. I've been thinking it could be good to reproduce. kind of personal too- because its a wall I built for Aura (so she doesn't fall over the 2mtr drop below.
familiar architecture
Perhaps the greatest architect ever, Sir Ken Adam is little known compared to the images of his work.
Being the creator of the “war-room” scenography from Dr. Stranglove and virtually all James Bond sets from Dr. No up untill the late 70’s (including the pinacle of bond-villain-lairs in “The spy who loved me”) , his work has been and continues to be an awsome resource of inspiration for architectural creation all over the world.
