I'll explain what I mean. <br><br>We are now having a very innocent little chat. Let's suppose that there is a bomb underneath this table between us. Nothing happens, and then all of a sudden, \"Boom!\" There is an explosion. The public is surprised, but prior to this surprise, it has seen an absolutely ordinary scene, of no special consequence. Now, let us take a suspense situation. The bomb is underneath the table and the public knows it, probably because they have seen the anarchist place it there. The public is aware the bomb is going to explode at one o'clock and there is a clock in the decor. The public can see that it is a quarter to one. In these conditions, the same innocuous conversation becomes fascinating because the public is participating in the scene. The audience is longing to warn the characters on the screen: \"You shouldn't be talking about such trivial matters. There is a bomb beneath you and it is about to explode!\"</i> - Alfred Hitchcock<br><br>Rope (1948) is a fine example of suspense. At the beginning of the film, Brandon and Philip, two young men sharing an apartment in New York, strangle their friend David, whom they consider intellectually inferior, and hide his body in an old chest that is gonna serve as the buffet table for their small soirée. While the audience is well-informed, the unknowing guests start arriving, including David’s father, David’s fiancée and their old teacher Rupert.

That installation went on for two weeks. Marie Fleming wrote about it: <br><br>”At first glance it seemed little more than a huge joke, or at best a sensuous visual playground where one could revel in the translucent light-reflecting surfaces. On second look, however, it began to emerge as a multi-layered satire about a sterilized society where everything, material and immaterial, is packaged or bottled; about cleanliness and isolation; about categorizing, sealing off in separate, transparent containers. Its probing became both psychological and sociological, and it revealed real, violent undertones with suggestions of suffocation and shrouds. Like the theatre of the absurd, it was carried through in such detail, made so preposterous, that its statement gained credence.”<br><br>","work_author":"IAIN BAXTER&","work_title":"Bagged Place / Rebecca’s Bagged Place","work_year":"1966 / 2013"},"-K_G7LJeC6HxW8Ocd5Hk":{"date":1483124860279,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_kp_01.jpg?alt=media&token=3847e9f4-6bfc-4e88-b594-f82e61e762a9","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_kp_02.jpg?alt=media&token=a55c39d3-2d3b-4caa-98c1-49153c1892cf","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_kp_03.jpg?alt=media&token=1331f635-b712-40c1-b666-70c45edce577","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"kenneth-price"},{"text":"dining-room"},{"text":"drawing"},{"text":"1962"},{"text":"1960s"},{"text":"THINGS-THINGS-THINGS"},{"text":"PEOPLE-GET-TOGETHER"}],"text":"Kenneth Price (1935-2012) was an American sculptor and printmaker.

More specifically, Plate 5 shows an informal dinner with a traditional menu and accompanying music. <br><br>More info on the artist and this series <a href=\"http://www.contemporaryartdaily.com/2013/08/ken-price-at-the-drawing-center-3/\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>.","work_author":"Kenneth Price","work_year":"1962"},"-K_Vl2INC5D5WcTlUE38":{"date":1483387188525,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_010.jpg?alt=media&token=71d2745c-96a2-49d0-8d8b-63ff1f37cc16","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"advertising"},{"text":"kitchen"},{"text":"apple"},{"text":"1977"},{"text":"1970s"},{"text":"NEW-TECHNOLOGIES"},{"text":"EVERYDAY-LIFE"}],"work_title":"Introducing Apple II","work_year":"1977"},"-K_hj72GYcQBJF2mtkTC":{"date":1483604787506,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_metafisico_01.jpg?alt=media&token=151838c1-e7e6-44ed-8e5d-c2ff219cd827","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_metafisico_02.jpg?alt=media&token=740e5e51-b4b0-4c37-b0a1-2f1dde25dd0a","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_metafisico_03.jpg?alt=media&token=6fec6098-f2f7-40c0-a06a-7cd2c42c81b2","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_metafisico_04.jpg?alt=media&token=69ddd22d-2b0d-43e2-98dd-c0fdd6fd1778","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_metafisico_05.jpg?alt=media&token=13505cce-2204-4277-ba23-89a7d1f1915a","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_metafisico_06.jpg?alt=media&token=fff767d3-578d-40b8-a829-d9a2763d2a8f","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_metafisico_07.jpg?alt=media&token=d69804d7-963c-49b0-8885-c635a313b8a8","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"giorgio-de-chirico"},{"text":"painting"},{"text":"1917"},{"text":"1910s"},{"text":"OUT-OF-PLACE-OUT-OF-SCALE"},{"text":"THINGS-THINGS-THINGS"},{"text":"IN-AND-OUT"}],"text":"Although a few years earlier he had painted the Metaphysical Town Square series inspired by the architecture of Torino, this series of Metaphysical Interiors had its start around 1917, when Giorgio de Chirico (1888-1978) arrived to Ferrara in the midst of World War I. Mysterious still lifes with sculptural stacks of wood pieces, pictures-within-the-picture and random objects taken out of context, all inside of rooms, define this set of paintings. <br><br>The scuola metafisica was deeply influential in posterior art movements, especially in Surrealism, but de Chirico became abruptly disengaged with modern art from 1919 on, advocating for the return of traditional methods in the art of painting. His latter work never received as much praise as the metaphysical period, and he continued to occasionally produce “self-forgeries” to profit from his earlier success. The works shown here span a period that goes from the early metaphysical years to as late as 1968.","title":"Metaphysical Interiors by Giorgio de Chirico","work_author":""},"-K_pOPrOEOkxZAHBNdW7":{"date":1483733315117,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_022.jpg?alt=media&token=2c6e9ad0-9199-4860-825f-eda551b8d729","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"adolph-menzel"},{"text":"painting"},{"text":"1845"}],"work_author":"Adolph Menzel","work_title":"Balcony room","work_year":"1845"},"-KaajIjGZXUD0ShR0Doy":{"date":1484561137062,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_015.jpg?alt=media&token=e4b33253-1435-4806-a098-50aae19335d4","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"john-baldessari"},{"text":"studio"},{"text":"1988"},{"text":"photography"},{"text":"1980s"},{"text":"PEOPLE-GET-TOGETHER"}],"work_author":"John Baldessari","work_title":"Studio","work_year":"1988"},"-Kai-ix3CpPqvRHgnoh-":{"date":1484683145255,"images":[{"author":"Horst P.

Ozu (1903-1963) was a Japanese film director and screenwriter. While he directed his first film in 1927, his most accomplished works belong to the years after World War II.

Ozu often used these as transition pieces between scenes. In them, Ozu uses a characteristically low point of view, which he named the ‘tatami shot’ after the height of a person seating on a tatami floor. Put together, these images offer a fascinating portrait of the Japanese house in the post-war transition period, from the most traditional typology to the introduction of modern technology and a more globalized style. <br><br>Images from <a href=\"http://www.ozu-teapot.tumblr.com\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>.","title":"Yasujirō Ozu and the Japanese interior"},"-Kbt3eUd19DhDzEf4lwu":{"date":1485942466659,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_018.jpg?alt=media&token=1762f560-38a3-4636-a3c7-cbe345544dde","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"paolo-uccello"},{"text":"painting"},{"text":"1468"},{"text":"GOD-COMPLEX"}],"work_author":"Paolo Uccello","work_title":"L'Ebreo brucia l'Ostia","work_year":"1468"},"-KbvZH7UhMWbaB6bYvcy":{"date":1485984310231,"images":[{"author":"","title":"A Georgian window found in a country parish","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_t-percival_01.jpg?alt=media&token=aed58ecb-9e62-44e3-b45c-230ae35aa90a","year":""},{"author":"","title":"An artist’s studio in late Spring","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_t-percival_02.jpg?alt=media&token=54ad420d-ad1e-4a99-a5d9-2e8474b48b3c","year":""},{"author":"","title":"A Parisian municipal office in daylight","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_t-percival_03.jpg?alt=media&token=7139d3f7-a838-479e-8ab5-458572999360","year":""},{"author":"","title":"Light entering the Victoria Albert museum","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_t-percival_04.jpg?alt=media&token=0d72ba7a-c5bb-4fb0-8f10-7d62cccdab00","year":""},{"author":"","title":"Canvases from an artists personal collection","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_t-percival_05.jpg?alt=media&token=042271f9-0906-48a2-aeab-2a10fb4dfbc4","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"timothy-percival"},{"text":"2016"},{"text":"painting"},{"text":"2010s"}],"text":"<i>\"For the real houses of memory, the houses to which we return in dreams, the houses that are rich in unalterable oneirism, do not readily lend themselves to description.

Built upon architectural scenes, the impact of such environments forms the subject of the work. <br><br>Presenting an ethereal view, the works are both introvert and romanticised; forms are constructed from a haven of deep, personal shadows, and windows burnt in light offer the only anchor to the outside world. <br><br>The work is an intimate view exposing the perception, remembrance, and romanticisation of the environments of the past. <br><br><br>'Where Light Ends' is the inaugural solo exhibition of architectural artist, Timothy Percival.

Later, as she tore down the original walls that had served as the mold for the work, what remained was the empty space turned into matter, standing still in the middle of a street. <br><br><i>House</i> worked in many levels. <br><br>After its completion on October 25th 1993, it created a highly controversial debate between art critics, politicians and the general public about contemporary art: its meaning, its value, its importance. Despite many efforts to the contrary, it was finally demolished on January 11th 1994. <br><br>On a more conceptual level, the work was a thought-provoking take on the idea of “home”.

About this self-portrait he wrote, in his book <i>Beiträge zur Analyse der Empfindungen</i>:<br><br>\n\n<i>“The considerations just advanced, expressed as they have been in an abstract form, will gain in strength and vividness if we consider the concrete facts from which they flow. Thus, I lie upon my sofa. If I close my right eye, the picture represented in the accompanying cut is presented to my left eye. In a frame formed by the ridge of my eyebrow, by my nose, and by my moustache, appears a part of my body, so far as visible, with its environment. My body differs from other human bodies beyond the fact that every intense motor idea is immediately expressed by a movement of it, and that, if it is touched, more striking changes are determined than if other bodies are touched by the circumstance, that it is only seen piecemeal, and, especially, is seen without a head. If I observe an element A within my field of vision, and investigate its connexion with another element B within the same field, I step out of the domain of physics into that of physiology or psychology, provided B, to use the apposite expression of a friend of mine made upon seeing this drawing, passes through my skin. Reflexions like that for the field of vision may be made with regard to the province of touch and the perceptual domains of the other senses.”</i>","work_author":"Ernst Mach","work_title":"Self-Portrait (View from the Left Eye)","work_year":"1886"},"-KlbW63IB9bX8zAC6muX":{"date":1496385352023,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ponti_1.jpg?alt=media&token=982411f0-36dd-4bbc-8ac2-8b3ef47968b1","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ponti_2.jpg?alt=media&token=4852d9bf-090d-4f43-a6fb-4ee90f722419","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"gio-ponti"},{"text":"1934"},{"text":"1930s"},{"text":"drawing"},{"text":"PATTERN"},{"text":"PORTRAIT-OF-THE-INHABITANT(S)"},{"text":"REPRESENTATION-OF-THE-ARCHITECTURAL-PROJECT"}],"work_author":"Gio Ponti","work_title":"Progetto per una piccola casa ideale","work_year":"1934"},"-KluE_WoNx-bI0QbzjSD":{"date":1496699525331,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_053.jpg?alt=media&token=0e8cf119-32d0-4147-802b-94792f963a72","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"hiroshi-hamaya"},{"text":"photography"},{"text":"1956"},{"text":"1950s"},{"text":"PEOPLE-GET-TOGETHER"}],"work_author":"Hiroshi Hamaya","work_title":"Children Singing in a Snow Cave, Niigata Prefecture","work_year":"1956"},"-Km7Zb4wazLPMutWfs_G":{"date":1496939917827,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_054.jpg?alt=media&token=664001b1-efd7-4a0e-af88-4d14055d1859","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"kate-shepherd"},{"text":"bedroom"},{"text":"2006"},{"text":"2000s"},{"text":"collage"},{"text":"MATERIALITY"}],"work_author":"Kate Shepherd","work_title":"Paper Bedroom","work_year":"2006"},"-KmaHApEe4UoHdc8_CCn":{"date":1497438404557,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_055.gif?alt=media&token=57895d0c-89f4-44b4-8a60-2e88a0ca6e6a","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"buster-keaton"},{"text":"1921"},{"text":"1920s"},{"text":"film"},{"text":"cross-section-house"},{"text":"GOD-COMPLEX"}],"work_author":"Buster Keaton","work_title":"The 'High Sign'","work_year":"1921"},"-KmkKvhBQSxOebOI7fY3":{"date":1497607158634,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_056.jpg?alt=media&token=268ac907-e0da-4c9e-aa65-cdbe69ee20f3","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"ettore-sottsass"},{"text":"drawing"},{"text":"1972"},{"text":"1970s"},{"text":"NEW-TECHNOLOGIES"},{"text":"REPRESENTATION-OF-THE-ARCHITECTURAL-PROJECT"},{"text":"AXONOMETRY"}],"text":"In the summer of 1972, MoMA showed the exhibition \"Italy: The New Domestic Landscape\".

architect and painter Arduino Cantafora’s paintings of interiors show spaces that seem to be suspended in time. <br><br>Ivan Quaroni wrote about his work for the <a

until 1978, with a background deeply rooted in the scientific interest for a lucid and rational realistic reproduction, Arduino Cantafora has painted works in which not only the urban architecture, but also the domestic interiors, the objects and the places are described with an impressive rigor and an extraordinary technical precision. <br><br>Architect, professor and writer – among his writings it is worth remembering at least <i>Quindici Stanze Per Una Casa</i>, published by Einaudi – Arduino Cantafora is the author of a clean painting, optically exact, often imbued with melancholy and mercurial moods. His paintings, that range from urban views to architectural allegories, from bourgeois interiors to old steam locomotives, show that at the basis of his modus pingendi there is always a deep humanistic interest in the morphological study of the forms. <br><br>Influenced by Caravaggio and by the Lombard painting of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth centuries, but also by Divisionismo, Purismo and Metafisica, Arduino Cantafora’s figurative language is the outcome of a deeply personal memorial path, that starts from a heartfelt adherence to optical data in order to rebuild the individual and collective historical identity. An attitude, this one, that he later translated in a didactic practice at the École Polytechnique Fédérale in Lausanne and at the Academy Of Architecture in Mendrisio, where he addressed the various issues related to the problem of representation. “I have always hoped, during my years of teaching,” the artist confessed, “to be able to contribute to the pleasure of seeing things, to the wonder of the vision as a factor of inalienable individual freedom, that, in grasping during the arc of the day and of the seasons the chasing of the light, can meet the ever identical to itself joy of being”.</i>","work_author":"Arduino Cantafora","work_title":"Interiors"},"-KwF3Sdj4CWg1D4ydBYl":{"date":1507803126459,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_075.jpg?alt=media&token=b92f233f-3255-45a4-ad44-d506ec978afb","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"alice-sulpis"},{"text":"plan"},{"text":"drawing"},{"text":"1882"},{"text":"1800s"},{"text":"REPRESENTATION-OF-THE-ARCHITECTURAL-PROJECT"},{"text":"PATTERN"}],"work_author":"Alice Sulpis","work_title":"Hôtel au parc Monceaux.

The standing attendants behind each figure are both holding a sword, presumably belonging to these unidentified main figures. It is particularly noteworthy that each prince is positioned on the same level, the figures are the same size, and each is leaning against a bolster of the same proportions.

However, architecture is not hidden but enhanced, as the carved-like maze of room upon room becomes a treatise on how to get natural light inside a building and how to lit a work of art. <br><br>\nNo architect without an art collection would have built a house like this; no art collector without the knowledge of an architect could have built a house like this. “To study Soane is to be faced with the problem of the expression of personality in architecture, for it is surely possible to find in his work reflections of the edginess and vanity, the persecution complex and the unyielding Old Testament morality, the inner conflicts, uncertainties and introspection, which we know were fundamental to his character.” (Soane and his contemporaries, David Watkin) <br><br>In his search of the “poetry of architecture”, his house is in essence more aesthetic than it is comfortable. It is a museum more than it is a home.</i>","work_author":"Sir John Soane","work_title":"Sir John Soane’s Museum","work_year":"1792-1833"},"-Kz5Zz1A1mTEs4W0e_Vs":{"date":1510865105082,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_hido_01.jpg?alt=media&token=d588ef43-4a1f-4168-ba50-e551100130e6","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_hido_02.jpg?alt=media&token=a69d6607-f600-4a81-b6f7-8243d757d17d","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_hido_03.jpg?alt=media&token=34636294-fc3d-4696-93d5-a45511082ddf","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_hido_04.jpg?alt=media&token=fc9e9e01-74c7-4794-bbdb-233217a4b738","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_hido_05.jpg?alt=media&token=aacf1b3a-4bf7-4263-abff-531d52f594e8","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_hido_06.jpg?alt=media&token=76c09dc7-5a74-4180-a243-924d629cb33b","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_hido_07.jpg?alt=media&token=0a7b509a-865e-4256-a2fe-a65077a1a6c2","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_hido_08.jpg?alt=media&token=29d77526-35ba-4fa2-9438-73ebeb9cdbc6","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_hido_09.jpg?alt=media&token=0c1b1b12-1855-40a6-b2ce-3a2e101d71c8","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_hido_10.jpg?alt=media&token=3db76c80-6448-480f-8f64-4e638fc2f057","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_hido_11.jpg?alt=media&token=f45034fe-b77b-414c-ad05-4b221a876b2c","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_hido_12.jpg?alt=media&token=16878df6-c739-4cc1-bd3a-634e81ddf4c5","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_hido_13.jpg?alt=media&token=9df0f182-ca0a-4905-8f8d-5bcece68a5f1","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_hido_14.jpg?alt=media&token=7a90480b-b9f5-420c-b60c-ea60f980e72a","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_hido_15.jpg?alt=media&token=b01ede55-e5e3-4935-a0f6-5c4ceb01e76e","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_hido_16.jpg?alt=media&token=059f802b-de4d-4441-9324-07e5b0ed4858","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_hido_17.jpg?alt=media&token=2b0d3c9e-8a3a-4ce1-9dab-71b8f15acb4c","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_hido_18.jpg?alt=media&token=a08bea59-748f-4918-98ca-54cd5e8bedc6","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"todd-hido"},{"text":"photography"},{"text":"1996"},{"text":"1990s"},{"text":"PATTERN"},{"text":"ABSTRACT-PORTRAIT"}],"text":"Todd Hido (1968) is an American photographer, well known for his portraits of urban and suburban housing across the United States, and for his use of detail and luminous colour. <br><br>\nThe series <i>Interiors</i>, initiated in 1996, depicts the rooms of foreclosed homes, suspended in time, in a transit between their last inhabitancy and whatever is yet to come. <br><br>\n“I am very much interested in the loss that happens in the spaces.

wedding he encountered: <br><br>\n<i>\"The Jewish wedding. Moors and Jews, at the entry. The two musicians. The violinist; thumb in air, the underside of the other hand very shaded, light behind, the haik around his head transparent in places; white sleeves, shadow behind. The violinist; seated on his heels and on the gelabia. The body of the guitar on the player's knee; very dark near the waist, red vest with brown notes, blue behind the neck. Shirt sleeves turned back up to the bi-ceps; green paneling beside him; a wart on the neck, short nose. Beside the violin, a pretty Jewish woman; vest, sleeves, gold and aramanthine. She is silhouetted partly against the door, partly against the wall. Closer, an older woman with a great deal of white that almost entirely hides her. Shadows full of reflections; white in the shadows. A pillar stands out darkly in front. The women at left arranged like flower pots. White and gold dominate, and their yellow handkerchiefs. Child on the ground in front. Beside the guitarist, the Jew who plays the tambourine. His face is a dark silhouette, hiding part of the hand of the guitarist. The bottom of his head outlined against the wall. A bit of gelabia under the guitarist. In front of him, legs crossed, a young Jew who holds a plate. Gray garment. Leaning on his shoulder a young Jewish child about ten years old. Against the door of the stairway Prisciada; violet neckerchief on her head and under the neck. Jews seated on the steps, partly seen through the door, strong light on the nose, one standing on the stairs; a cast shadow, with reflections, standing out against the wall, light yellow reflection. Above, Jews leaning over. One at left, bareheaded, very dark, silhouetted against the wall lit by the sun. In the corner, the old Moor with his crooked beard: shaggy haik, turban low on his forehead, gray beard against the white. The other Moor, shorter nose, very male, prominent turban.

centuries of kitchens being ignored by architects and designers, Austrian architect Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky projected in 1926 the first efficiently designed built-in kitchen for Ernst May’s social housing project “New Frankfurt”. \n<br><br>\nThe shortage of housing in Germany after World War I propelled the construction of large apartment buildings for working class families that were tight both in space and budget. The architects sought to find standardized designs that would help cut costs and preserve, at the same time, a maximum degree of comfort.\n<br><br>\nRationalising the cooking space served two purposes for Schütte-Lihotzky: saving space in the house as a whole, thus reducing the cost of the building; and optimising workflow for the housewife in charge of cooking, therefore cutting the working time and allowing women to pursue other interests or (economically) productive work.\n<br><br>\nThe “Frankfurt kitchen” became the model for modern kitchens worldwide, and its influence has come to be recognized both in its historic importance and its architectural approach. Original pieces have been relocated to museums and careful reconstructions show contemporary viewers how its innovative design changed the conception of the cooking space forever.\n<br><br><br>In this

her series of collages “Off the Map”, artist Zsofia Schweger explores the concept of a journey that is at once limited by the physical walls of her own room, and at the same time capable of spanning the entirety of the world.\n<br><br>\nPairing a room (reduced to a series of shapes) with maps (which are, in the end, an abstraction of places turned into lines and words), Schweger creates postcard-sized collages infused with the vibrant colours of places known and unknown.\n <br><br>\nEach of the three series repeats a particular point of view, but each of the individual works depicts a different journey and a different story.\n<br><br>\n\nIn her own words:\n<br>\n<i>“Believing that being at home was newsworthy, I set out to create postcards made of old historical world maps. (…) Despite the collages’ modest size, with fractions of the maps clearly preserved and readable, I aimed to indicate scale, distance, and depth: an image of a room could contain the whole

visiting a swimming pool in the summer 1952 and concluding it was just too hot to stay there, Matisse decided to bring the feeling of diving into a swimming pool into his own home, covering the walls of the dining room of his studio in Hotel Régina in Cimiez, Nice (where he lived from 1938 to 1943, and from 1949 until his death in 1954) with cut-out figures of swimmers and sea creatures painted in blue gouache. <br><br>\n\nThe “drawn with scissors” figures were pinned into the wall over the height of Matisse’s head, giving the impression to the visitors of the room that they were underwater with bathers swimming around you.<br><br>\n\nThe site-specific piece was sold to MoMA in 1975 and first exhibited in 1977. From the press release: <br><br>\n\n<i>“Cutting colored papers permits me to draw in color” Matisse stated in the early 1950s, during the final stage of his career. “For me it is a matter of simplification. Instead of establishing a contour, and then filling it with color –the one modifying the other- I draw directly in color… This guarantees a precise union of the two processes; they become one.” Owing to ill health toward the end of his life, he was unable to paint at his easel, and so he shaped his material by cutting his own hand-painted paper. With the aid of assistants, who pinned each colored section to the wall according to his instructions, the artist composed an extraordinary group of decoration that included thematic compositions, designs for stained glass windows, wall ceramics, church vestments, and the celebrated Blue Nude series of which the environmental mural The Swimming Pool is the most important.</i><br><br>\n\nIn 1993 the work was taken out of display for fear of irreversible damage. A video on the work and the exhaustive restoration that took place before being exhibited again for a Matisse retrospective in 2014 can be seen <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rke7RmxwfY\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>","work_author":"Henri Matisse","work_title":"The Swimming Pool","work_year":"1952"},"-L9puSg9Fe4zj6KG9FIt":{"date":1523470424911,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_126.jpg?alt=media&token=addd1b4e-c431-46f2-825e-d804e5a47559","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"buckminster-fuller"},{"text":"plan"},{"text":"REPRESENTATION-OF-THE-ARCHITECTURAL-PROJECT"},{"text":"PATTERN"},{"text":"COLOR"}],"work_author":"R.

Barragán once inhabited himself: to the materiality of the volumes and to its walls, painted in bright colours and bathed in natural light. <br><br>\nOriginally built in 1948, the house underwent many changes, as it functioned as a laboratory of ideas for the architect, inspired by vernacular Mexican constructions and Arabic gardens, in a quest for an architecture that would be serene but joyful,

Almost all these works are painted in acrylic, which dries quickly and cannot be scraped off the canvas, thus demanding a greater degree of planning and meticulous application. This process, with its greater capacity for scrutiny and observation, meant that Hockney could work from photographic studies to sketch out overall compositions but he chose to paint his figures from

<i>Forma Urbis Romae</i> or Severan Marble Plan was a large map of the city of Rome carved on marble. In a scale of approximately 1:240, it measured 18m wide by 13m high and was divided into 150 marble slabs that were mounted on an interior wall of the Templum Pacis at around 203-211 A.D.\n<br><br>\nWith all of its walls and columns precisely incised on the stone, the plan represents mass and void, and the city is understood as a sum of interconnected spaces: from public to private, interior or exterior, big or small… All of them represented in the same way, no difference is made between the domestic room and the public temple.\n<br><br>\nThe plan is believed to have collapsed after the metal clamps that fixed it to the wall were stolen, or just dismounted and converted into construction material for new buildings. The first recovered pieces were found in 1562 and were kept in the hands of private collectors until 1741, when the city of Rome acquired them. Many scholars have studied the fragments, in the effort of learning about the original map and the city it represented. Piranesi drew them in a series of engravings from 1756 included in the first volume of <i>Antichità Romane</i>. Some new pieces have occasionally emerged, and it is believed that the 1186 fragments found so far amount to around 10-15% of the original plan.\n<br><br>\n<a href=\"http://formaurbis.stanford.edu\" target=\"_blank\">Stanford University</a> has an ongoing project to digitally reconstruct the map, and their site is an enormous source of information on the subject.\n<br><br>\nEven if the original purpose of <i>Forma Urbis Romae</i> is not yet understood, as it is not clear if it had a functional use or it was just decorative, the found fragments represent a source of knowledge on the architecture of the Rome of the antiquity, showing the organization of the city and its buildings, from the larger public structures to the common housing.","title":"Forma Urbis Romae, from antiquity

artist Charles works move with ease between disciplines that include painting, photography, printmaking or film. \n<br><br>\nHis series of photographs from the 1910s, including those of the eighteenth-century Doylestown farmhouse (1917) show an interest to explore the representation of the domestic setting in an abstract way, following the example of the avant-garde painters he had encountered in Paris, and in a quest to pursue photography as a means of artistic expression. \n<br><br>\nHis series of American Interiors paintings from the 1930s portray conventional interiors from a sometimes forced, unreal, point of view, extracting the essence of the patterns and objects and arranging them in a seemingly off-balanced manner.\n<br><br>\nIn a brief note on <a

Since his first experiments during the early 1960s, Walther’s work has occupied a unique position in the development of post-World War II avant-garde practice, as he radically abandoned conventional modes of painting and sculpture in order to examine the process of art rather than its product. Walther’s distinctive approach to thinking through the problems visual artists traditionally face –those of form, materials, space, and subject- led him to conceiving objects and images that challenged the beholder to act. In acknowledging the impact of viewers’ presence and actions in real time and space, Walther attempts to suspend the sense of isolation and self-absorption that is often associated with viewing

Rather than using a wide angle to photograph the whole space all at once, Aden has created an intricate process in which he “scans” the whole space by meticulously photographing the room by parts, following a grid, and later stitching the stills together. \n<br><br>\n“The lines of the outline again focus the patterns that determine our lives. They also give the viewer a structure that makes the images flattened and more abstract. The space they enclose is important because it shows the restriction and limitation of the (square) spaces we have to life in and that we have to dispose. It reflects our living in boxes.”\n<br><br>\nWith their precise geometry, the resulting images have an unreal, almost rendered aesthetic; but at the same time they have the ability of precisely capturing a moment in time, one that is defined by the particular (and temporary) way in which the inhabitant’s things are arranged.\n<br><br>\nThe artist's <a href=\"http://mennoaden.com\"

the early 1970s, Sottsass went through ‘’a period of emptiness and introvert meditation. Of purification and release from everything that constituted the laws, customs and vocabulary of rationalist culture.’’ His relationship with Catalan artist Eulàlia Grau had him leading a nomadic life between his home and studio base in Milano and extended journeys around Spain. In deep contact with the landscape and its nature, they created a series of small, ephemeral constructions of a fragile appearance and built with poor, rather precarious materials. \n<br><br>\n‘’I felt a deep necessity to visit deserted places, mountains; to re-establish a physical relationship with the cosmos, which is the only real environment, precisely because it can’t be measured, foreseen, controlled or known… it seemed to me that if anything was to be regained we would have to begin by regaining microscopic gestures and elementary actions, the sense of one’s own position…’’\n<br><br>\nThe photographs of the interventions, taken by Sottsass himself, reveal a very particular point of view, in equal parts poetry and irony, both playful and grounded. They are an experimental reflection on the nomadic lifestyle and a reacquaintance with the essence of architecture: its language and its relation to the human body.\n<br><br>\nMost (and more) images

Rousse’s pieces work in two different stages. The first one involves the creation of a site-specific intervention in a particular space, normally an abandoned building. The second one is the photograph of said space, taken from a very precise point of view, in which the three-dimensional intervention becomes an abstract two-dimensional composition that hides the complexity of its construction. He is a photographer, but also a painter and a sculptor.\n<br><br>\nComing from a scientific background (he was studying medicine when he became interested in photography), it was the discovery of both land art and Malevich’s Suprematism that pushed him to realize his first works in the field. Their influence is apparent in the powerful simplicity of the part of the work that remains, the resulting image. While his interventions are often ephemeral, the photographs are not, and so the viewer only gets to see a defined optical illusion, and not the effort behind it.\n<br><br>\nFrom a fragment of the biography in his <a href=\"http://www.georgesrousse.com/en/biography/\" target=\"_blank\">website</a>: \n<br><br>\n<i>“His raw material is Space: the space of deserted buildings. Taking his inspiration from a site's architectonic quality and the light he finds there, he quickly chooses a « fragment » and creates a mise-en-scène, keeping in mind his ultimate goal, creating a photographic image. In these empty spaces, Georges Rousse constructs a kind of utopia that projects his vision of the world - his imaginary universe.”</i>","work_author":"Georges Rousse","work_title":"Anamorphoses"},"-LOhNMKkZWKW1LrIZ_dv":{"date":1539433395638,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_158.jpg?alt=media&token=eae203d6-1eea-4f18-a1b7-2e897e40d96a","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"yury-matveyevich-felten"},{"text":"1777"},{"text":"1700s"},{"text":"plan"},{"text":"REPRESENTATION-OF-THE-ARCHITECTURAL-PROJECT"}],"work_author":"Yury Matveyevich Felten","work_title":"Chesemenskiy Palace","work_year":"1777"},"-LPNd3qO61uLu9bzefWO":{"date":1540159196634,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ortega_01.jpg?alt=media&token=d324b744-0c20-4b68-9a67-8046f1c10269","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ortega_02.jpg?alt=media&token=6e7f6761-2380-41f1-bc60-a2f95caddb3d","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ortega_03.jpg?alt=media&token=c24c6d98-3551-4114-bab5-4a0917b43944","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ortega_04.jpg?alt=media&token=c6c239fd-7369-49a1-9a59-adb02abb387f","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ortega_05.jpg?alt=media&token=bde252f1-bda5-47ee-80de-e9e09c1d976a","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ortega_06.jpg?alt=media&token=6eb64a73-917e-452f-ba98-15f937ecb2f0","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ortega_07.jpg?alt=media&token=93837077-e3c7-47e3-bca1-bd020d44da8f","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ortega_08.jpg?alt=media&token=babe48e4-f7bd-4397-b183-7cf9486bd748","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ortega_09.jpg?alt=media&token=51d16a82-1cf3-43d0-8632-04d37759bc8a","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ortega_10.jpg?alt=media&token=f5f3a3ab-5f89-4c41-ba9c-94829a04fe58","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ortega_11.jpg?alt=media&token=b8f82231-46a6-4135-bbd9-a63bdee8c045","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"damian-ortega"},{"text":"sculpture"},{"text":"installation"},{"text":"2014"},{"text":"2010s"},{"text":"OUT-OF-PLACE-OUT-OF-SCALE"},{"text":"THINGS-THINGS-THINGS"},{"text":"EVERYDAY-LIFE"}],"text":"Damián Ortega first came to the international spotlight with Cosmic Thing (2002), a work in which he disassembled a Volkswagen Beetle and made all of its components, from the small mechanisms to its external bodywork pieces, hang from invisible threads and float in the space. Ever since, his work has been interested in the transformation and re-contextualization of objects we take for granted, with the erection of large-scale works that hide their complex construction and, like a magic trick, appear deceitfully simple at first sight.\n<br><br>\nIn “Cosmogonía Doméstica”, his made to measure work for the urban space in front of the Jumex Foundation in his hometown of Ciudad de Mexico, he turned everyday objects that he owned (chairs, a table, kitchenware) into a constellation of floating elements in a never-ending dance. Like planets, each element is attached to one of five circular platforms and rotates both on itself and around a table that is set on the centre of the piece. The five platforms are clad in the same stone masonry as that of the public square, and so the urban space integrates the art piece in a subtle but surreal way.<br><br>\nOrtega has defined the ideas behind this work as a schizophrenic carousel or a homemade solar system, but when building it, he realized the structure it most resembled was that of a clock. The objects, exposed to the weather conditions, degrade in front of the eyes of people passing by and bring the human scale of domesticity to the urban space of one of the largest cities in the world.","work_author":"Damián Ortega","work_title":"Cosmogonía Doméstica","work_year":"2014"},"-LPbSIiy3t7QPzqvJtpT":{"date":1540407770131,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_161.jpg?alt=media&token=55587a1e-1194-4e13-9f9a-7dcfbaf9fb92","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"hieronymus-bosch"},{"text":"painting"},{"text":"dining-room"},{"text":"1500s"},{"text":"PEOPLE-GET-TOGETHER"}],"work_author":"Hieronymus Bosch (attributed to)","work_title":"The Marriage Feast at Cana","work_year":"16th century"},"-LQ9hKBHQuFQovA8I2qD":{"date":1540999172948,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_bed-in_01.jpg?alt=media&token=dc4e4384-838a-416e-a9bf-82f570d0649f","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_bed-in_02.jpg?alt=media&token=2da85f38-d0a2-4324-a7bb-c4b9e6f477eb","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_bed-in_03.jpg?alt=media&token=433e4bb6-a0fc-4295-b18b-f285ee4a5ff4","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_bed-in_04.jpg?alt=media&token=ddbc4044-b574-4604-a3d6-3a2f808dda7e","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_bed-in_05.jpg?alt=media&token=65db7cf0-ff33-4a7a-8b47-fadaeaf4edef","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_bed-in_06.jpg?alt=media&token=9adfae2f-a4c8-496b-96ac-ef4760d8ec85","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_bed-in_07.jpg?alt=media&token=c6add16c-61d4-4f78-b1ba-d67e469fbc7d","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_bed-in_08.jpg?alt=media&token=86758a74-2328-4d33-a60c-02d064d6c6eb","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_bed-in_09.jpg?alt=media&token=ae5b0394-0a1b-456b-96a9-1958b16d5069","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_bed-in_10.jpg?alt=media&token=5f5d000f-7677-4d20-a595-e10c498976d3","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_bed-in_11.jpg?alt=media&token=9144248c-0331-45a5-8b5d-444a8e8b3ce9","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_bed-in_12.jpg?alt=media&token=8b775164-4051-4062-b453-9d5af80a3dbf","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_bed-in_13.jpg?alt=media&token=ea55f8c3-deb4-433a-8742-4897aa2600c5","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_bed-in_14.jpg?alt=media&token=b6a034f9-73bf-4274-a266-134d909c7776","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_bed-in_15.jpg?alt=media&token=dbe5af0e-99ee-4386-876b-9f40b6013b47","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"john-lennon"},{"text":"yoko-ono"},{"text":"bedroom"},{"text":"performance"},{"text":"1969"},{"text":"1960s"},{"text":"PORTRAIT-OF-THE-INHABITANT(S)"},{"text":"REPETITION"},{"text":"IN-AND-OUT"},{"text":"RADICAL-DOMESTICITIES"}],"text":"After a private wedding ceremony in Gibraltar, John Lennon and Yoko Ono converted their honeymoon into a very public art performance.

It is no good trying to put a fence around it. So instead of all the cameras just being outside looking in, you’ve also got the cameras inside looking out. The things Yoko and I are doing are really that: projecting, bouncing back as fast as we can what happens to us from the outside. We put ourselves there in the fish bowls. And now, that we’re in that position—we use it for peace. And that’s the only thing to do, really. Because it’s no good working for money. And there is nothing else to do but work. So working for peace is an objective.” </i>(John Lennon interviewed in the Washington Post a few months later)<br><br>\n\nThe photographs of the carefully staged scene of a bed against the window light, occupied by John and Yoko in their pyjamas, surrounded by handwritten peace statements, were published in newspapers all around the world, further establishing their image as both pop icons and peace activists.<br><br>\n\nIn a highly recommended opinion piece, <a href=\"https://work-body-leisure.hetnieuweinstituut.nl/247-bed\" target=\"_blank\">Beatriz Colomina writes about this</a>:<br><br>\n \n<i>“The Bed-In received unprecedented media coverage all over the world.

In the biggest possible expansion of the big glass windows that typically expose the domestic interior of Dutch houses, or even Amsterdam’s red-light district and its famous inversion of public and private with sex workers displaying their wares to the passersby (…) A kind of privacy was constructed in the middle of massive exposure.

A series of rooms and courtyards create a particular universe in perpetual change, as both arson and the expected expiration of its core materials make its constant renovation imperative. <br><br>\n\nFrom “The visual performative of Senegalese Sufism” by Allen F. Roberts and Mary Nooter Roberts:<br><br>\n\n<i>“A final study was of Serigne Sy’s astonishing environment built on the outskirts of Djourbel that gives tangible form to the power of writing as understood by Senegalese Sufis. In creating a compound entirely from reeds, straw, and sticks in recognition with the stylus with which one writes the Word of God, the hardy community has found a way to live within a text so mystical that few can hope to read its letters and phrases, yet all can benefit from its blessings. Two conflagrations and the need for constant replacement of weathered or termite-damaged straw have proven that the processes and performances are more significant than any completed productions. “Trust in Gog”, as the place is now known, is also hauntingly beautiful, as builder-residents are very prepared to state in compelling aesthetic terms. What is seen in the exaltations of triangles and other features is lived by Serigne Sy and his community, as visual achievements merge with devotion.”</i><br><br><br>\nMore information on Murid

On almost every subject, he provides multiple examples of each design type. The section on “case e palazzi”, for example, features sixty-eight plans for four types of houses and palaces. This exaggerated display emphasizes the infinite number of possible design solutions, and shows how, through drawing, the architect might experiment with different forms and develop new ideas. The Trattato images, however, are conceptual illustrations, not definitive plans. Francesco’s illustrations do not include dimensions, have few labels, and are not consistent in scale. Developed with an eye toward reproduction, the clear, unequivocal models were ideal for workshop study and reference. \n<br><br>\n\n(…)The Trattato di architettura, therefore, was a didactic text, a manual for the working architect to refer to as his training progressed. Its efficacy as such may be traced in its great popularity among architects. In the sixteenth century, copies of the Trattato were ubiquitous. Preeminent artist-architects, including Leonardo da Vinci, Fra Giocondo, Baldassare Peruzzi, Jacopo da Vignola, Vincenzo Scamozzi, and Philibert del’Orme, carefully studied the Trattato and incorporated Francesco’s ideas into their built and written works.”\n<br><br>\nExcerpt from the essay <a href=\"https://www.researchgate.net/publication/307777191_The_Trattato_as_Textbook_Francesco_di_Giorgio's_Vision_for_the_Renaissance_Architect\" target=\"_blank\">“The Trattato as Textbook: Francesco di Giorgio’s Vision for the Renaissance Architect” by Elizabeth M.

the works of Giotto di Bondone (painted between 1295 and 1305) to Picasso’s Guernica (1937), in his series “Espacios Ocultos” (“Concealed Spaces”) Ballester erases all of the characters and signs of activity of classic paintings in order to focus the attention on the background, the stage where said life has ceased to exist.\n<br><br>\nThe series, which started as a collaboration with Museo del Prado in Madrid that has since been extended to other museums, consists of digitally altered photographs of the original paintings, mimicking the style of the painter. The intervened works are then printed to the paintings’ exact dimensions, and have often been placed side by side with the original in exhibitions. However, by choosing classical, instantly recognizable pieces, the works stand on their own as a collection of dehumanized void architectures and natural landscapes.\n<br><br>\nAs Ballester himself has explained, even if the method is always the same, each of the resulting images ends up having its own significance, given by the context and intentions of the original painting, and the contemporary reading of it. When the model and the artist disappear from Vermeer’s “The Art of Painting” (1666) the natural light coming in from a hidden window on the left side of the painting becomes the main character. The painting still appears rich in texture and detail. On the other hand, there is Goya’s “The Third of May” (1814), which portrays a shooting in a war between the Spanish and Napoleon’s armies, and which is a painting that revolutionized the style and intention of war-based art, depicting the horror it inflicts more than an epic, grandiloquent character. Ballester’s interpretation of the piece has the setting of the massacre as an empty, rather banal space, with the only presence of a lantern and a stain of blood as a symbol of what has happened. Even if the narrative has disappeared, its consequences endure, as does the feeling of apprehension in the viewer. The message of the original painting is not lost.","work_author":"José Manuel Ballester","work_title":"Espacios

the six sculpted women that serve as columns in the southern porch of the Erechtheion temple in the Acropolis were simply inspired by young women dancing to goddess Artemis, by the supposed beauty and strength of the women of the city of Karyae or if, quite to the contrary, they represented the punishment to the women of said city, condemned to slavery after Karyae fell on the wrong side of a war, is a mystery that has fascinated many in the 2500 years since the building was erected.\n<br><br>\nAfter enduring countless wars and the pillage of one of its columns (among many other marbles of the temple), what finally took the sculpted pieces out of their original location was the air pollution of modern-day Athens. Between 1979 and 1987, the temple was thoroughly restored and many of the pieces were moved to a museum and replaced by copies. Despite that, the porched room is still captivating in its proportioned beauty and the strangeness of its concept.","work_title":"Caryatides in the Erechtheion","work_year":"ca. 408 B.C."},"-LXx7cJO17rBqH9ZJda5":{"date":1549361382748,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_184.jpg?alt=media&token=4059f18f-262c-4b6c-8167-52f749018a27","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"marie-joseph-peyre"},{"text":"1765"},{"text":"1700s"},{"text":"plan"},{"text":"REPRESENTATION-OF-THE-ARCHITECTURAL-PROJECT"}],"work_author":"Marie-Joseph Peyre","work_title":"Plan du bâtiment qui contendroit les Académies, published in Oeuvres d’architecture","work_year":"1765"},"-LYBfy5N4NMnlHEPHSxq":{"date":1549622305767,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_frohlich_01.jpg?alt=media&token=b11f8f08-012c-4249-9834-90b7d30d27ca","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_frohlich_02.jpg?alt=media&token=41af9a85-53a9-48bc-8aaf-7951c8097cdd","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_frohlich_03.jpg?alt=media&token=31896fe5-e0d2-426b-ab4f-ddc4aab7fdad","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_frohlich_04.jpg?alt=media&token=39f24658-d0e6-4bd5-9682-8aa5206cd09f","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_frohlich_05.jpg?alt=media&token=2f115841-8f56-407c-8f69-ec81658553ad","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_frohlich_06.jpg?alt=media&token=599c087b-625c-4c97-8957-571e0a9aae2b","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_frohlich_07.jpg?alt=media&token=4150eff1-a8e0-433d-b6eb-d9a0aec36fb3","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_frohlich_08.jpg?alt=media&token=8d8b93d3-a6a9-4efe-95f6-3d7107b3d6fa","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_frohlich_09.jpg?alt=media&token=4b595553-7fba-4c4c-8871-1260919bf8ed","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_frohlich_10.jpg?alt=media&token=5137c274-302d-4510-be9c-9a73c1221856","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_frohlich_11.jpg?alt=media&token=8862b80f-b549-4aa6-b52a-fc9a436813c2","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_frohlich_12.jpg?alt=media&token=96face6f-7cc1-4720-b76d-5a7270cc11c7","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_frohlich_13.jpg?alt=media&token=5efa415a-ab13-4086-9324-6f86410d1570","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_frohlich_14.jpg?alt=media&token=5364b560-6c75-4567-924c-e4835a406fd0","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"margarethe-fröhlich"},{"text":"drawing"},{"text":"1930s"},{"text":"living-room"},{"text":"dining-room"},{"text":"bedroom"},{"text":"PATTERN"},{"text":"COLOR"},{"text":"REPRESENTATION-OF-THE-ARCHITECTURAL-PROJECT"},{"text":"AXONOMETRY"}],"text":"Artist Margarethe Fröhlich first became interested in architecture when she moved to Frankfurt in 1929 and witnessed the construction of the “Neues Frankfurt”, a major public housing project by architect Ernst May (in which <a href=\"https://aseriesofrooms.com/#/asset/-L2SKA1qQ3TT-ox1fOUB\" target=\"_blank\">Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky also collaborated with her revolutionary rethinking of the modern kitchen</a>).\n<br><br>\nFröhlich went on to study architecture with Franz Schuster, focusing on architecture for “society’s less advantaged”, and moved to Prague, where she became an interior designer for Siedlungen interiors.

The strict hierarchy of the Mughal court is represented by the placement of the figures in relation to the ruler. Shah Alam is seated on a golden throne, with a small parasol above and a nimbus, or halo, encircling his head. These are all symbols of his royal status.

But when Jeff starts suspecting that one of his neighbours across the courtyard might have killed his wife, they are quickly on-board, however far-fetched the idea might seem at first. As the three of them become entangled on a plan to expose the neighbour’s crime, they go from “observer-narrators” to “participant-narrators”, setting in motion the film’s final act and putting themselves in the centre of the action of the courtyard’s crime story.\n<br><br>\nBeyond the crime and the romance, Hitchcock’s film has the ability to portray the daily life of shared domesticity in a dense urban fabric, in which strangers coexist in close proximity.","work_author":"Alfred Hitchcock","work_title":"Rear

He mastered the art of ikebana, was a great connoisseur of everything that was involved in the tea ceremony, and, most importantly, his 26-volume survey on the history of the Japanese garden (<i>Nihon Teienshi Zukan</i> or “Illustrated Book on the History of the Japanese Garden”, published between 1936 and 1939) turned him into one of the most important authorities on the subject.\n<br><br>\nShigemori was, however, quite critical of the lack of evolution in garden-making after the middle of the Edo period. He believed there were three paths one could follow as a garden designer (or an architect) in Japan: that of the traditionalists that imitated the old forms without a critical approach, that of the modernists who dismissed tradition and favoured a Western style in touch with the international avant-garde, and finally, the reformists, who rooted their work on the tradition but sought to transform the Japanese garden. He aligned himself with this last group, in the middle between the two extremes, and dedicated his extensive garden-making career to creating works that both related to the past and to the future.\n<br><br>\nOne of these examples is the garden he designed for the Kishiwada Castle, in which he introduced strong, permanent lines made of stone that represent the walls of an old castle into a <i>karesansui</i> (dry landscape) style garden. The groups of large stones symbolized “the eight-fold battle camp formation adopted by Zhuge Liang”, a famed Chinese engineer and military strategist. About this project, he wrote:\n<br><br>\n<i>“As you can see on the plan, the garden is composed of three stone lines, which are angling back and forth. I used the old layout of the fortress as a reference and transferred it into a modern artistic expression.

the Dogme 95 set of rules he himself had helped create, which included “shooting must be done on location”, “special lighting is not acceptable”, or “the sound must never be produced apart from the images”, Lars von Trier filmed the totality of Dogville (a tragic story in a small town in Colorado in the 1930s) in a sound stage in Sweden. The town set is reduced to a bare minimum, with the layout of its houses and streets stencilled on the floor, white on black, while a few pieces of furniture and wall parts are scattered around.\n<br><br>\nThis kind of stage is obviously best seen from an aerial point of view, and von Trier employs those often during the duration of the film, in combination with the close-ups most identifiable with the first part of his career. While a scene takes place in one of the houses or outdoor spaces, we as an audience are aware of what the rest of characters are doing, and, as the film advances, of what they are ignoring, deliberately or not.","work_author":"Lars von

a long series of paintings he started over a decade ago, Scottish artist Barry McGlashan recreates the studios of famous artists, often with the artist in the middle of an iconic creation. In doing so, he researches and reimagines the environment in which the works of art are created, both as a physical space that is the result of a particular historical moment, but also as a way into the artist’s psyche in the form of objects, ways of working and the general state of chaos vs. tidiness.\n<br><br>\nIn his own words:\n<br><br>\n<i>“I don’t intend the paintings as documents, I leave that to historians. These are my creative musings on what has come before; the stories, intentions and motivations of those artists and their methodologies. How the work is made, why and where it is made and what it leads on to. It’s like an imagined line through history whereby one artist influences another, a constant reimagining of ideas, patterns and variety.”</i>","work_author":"Barry McGlashan","work_title":"Artists’ Studios","work_year":"2010s"},"-L_vPKpQQ2jf1I8xsL3F":{"date":1552553696660,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_192_.jpg?alt=media&token=3f90546a-96ec-4844-85a6-e554ca6e933f","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"masolino-da-panicale"},{"text":"painting"},{"text":"1431"},{"text":"1400s"},{"text":"courtyard"},{"text":"COLOR"}],"text":"Painted in the interior of the basilica of San Clemente in Rome","work_author":"Masolino da Panicale","work_title":"Santa Caterina d’Alessandria e il miracolo della ruota","work_year":"1425-31"},"-La9midv7tu2pVBdbz0t":{"date":1552811746162,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_191_01.jpg?alt=media&token=b4ddfa70-2f95-4c92-b42e-147e6e445da7","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_191_02.jpg?alt=media&token=b7b86260-069d-428f-8eff-f3b6329aed81","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_191_03.jpg?alt=media&token=953a6640-2895-424e-b5a9-81ed243fc7e8","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_191_04.jpg?alt=media&token=448cee76-c172-4a56-8d22-638d3e7fcbb4","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"alvaro-siza"},{"text":"1980s"},{"text":"architecture-project"},{"text":"plan"},{"text":"REPRESENTATION-OF-THE-ARCHITECTURAL-PROJECT"}],"work_author":"Álvaro Siza","work_title":"J.

The engineers placed the diagrammatic-codes over photographs of the lunar surface, and Solt abstracted the diagrams without any photographic reference. Using the codes, she transformed the result into a sonnet, with the codes appearing in “exactly fourteen “lines” with five “accents, a Petrarchan or Italianate sonnet”</i>\n<br><br>\nWelsh art critic Gareth Leaman wrote about it:\n<br><br>\n<i>“Though ostensibly a sonnet, Solt’s work does not initially seem to resemble the form – or even poetry – in any traditional sense, largely in that it does not have any linguistic content, and instead comprises an appropriation of ‘symbols (“accents”) superimposed by scientists to mark off the lunar surface.’ However, a more nuanced analysis would reveal that the work’s lack of linguistic content is the very means through which it can convey meaning. As such, the poem still has a communicative function despite containing no semantic content. The use of the word ‘symbols’ in the commentary is not inconsequential: they are indeed symbolic, in that they signify something beyond themselves. The symbols of which the work is constructed are thus a form of ‘pseudo-language’: it is not anti-language or a non-language; rather it functions as if it were a language. These symbols convey meaning in the same way that a conventional, semantic poem would – in fact, it is these symbols themselves that signify the work’s meaning, namely the inadequacy of the linguistic formulations that they have replaced (and are imitative of) to address the subject matter of the poem.\n<br><br>\nIn the case of ‘Moon Shot Sonnet’, the pseudo-linguistic symbols Solt appropriates serve to exhibit how the exponential increase of scientific knowledge and technological progress has changed the way in which conventional poetic subjects can be addressed. As the poem’s commentary notes, ‘the moon had relinquished its romantic aura to become a scientific object. The twentieth-century poet cannot address the moon as Sir Philip Sidney did in 1582. Thus by the mid-twentieth century Solt’s work is a more pertinent way of addressing the moon, which is now an object of scientific investigation rather than a subject for romantic lyric poetry. There is no ‘truth’ to Sidney’s words in the present: his work is nothing more than a historic artefact and an aesthetic curiosity, which cannot speak to or for the modern condition of life and culture.”</i>\n<br><br>\nAnd so this is not, as one might have thought at first sight, the floor plan of a series of equally sized rooms put together in a grid, connected in enfilade. The fact that it resembles just that reflects the giant leap that abstraction as a mode of representation took during the 20th century. A poem about the moon would not have been written like this centuries ago, but neither would have a plan been drawn in such a conceptual manner. The rigid frontiers between disciplines apparently so far apart blur.\n<br><br><br>\nFull article by Gareth Leaman <a

the early 70s, Swiss architect Daniel Grataloup imagined a neighbourhood made out towers that he called <i>Habitat Urbain</i>. Spaceship-like prefabricated modules in different sizes and for different needs were projected to be attached to a central structure containing stairs and elevators. \n<br><br>\n\nThe futuristic modules were conceived under the most advanced technological possibilities available at the moment. Their interiors discarded the canonical stereotypes of the domestic space and favoured an unconventional organicist layout that mixed complex robotics and integrated furniture within curved rooms with round windows.\n<br><br>\n\nHis project of a <i>Sculpture Habitable</i> in Anières, built a few years later, reformulates the formal research of <i>Habitat Urbain</i>, transforming it into a detached suburban house. With its more traditional materiality and down-to-earth setting, the interior of the house feels more primitive than avant-garde. It resembles more a cave carved into a mountain than a modern spaceship.\n<br><br><br>\nMore images and info in the architect’s <a href=\"https://gratalouparchitecte.ch\" target=\"_blank\">website</a>

painter F.C.B. Cadell studied in Paris in the turn of the century and lived in Munich for a few years before returning to Edinburgh. During those years he came in contact with the pictorial avant-gardes that defined European art and was particularly fascinated with impressionism and fauvism. During the early 1910s, his work was defined by landscapes painted in creamy colours, but after the war his compositions <i>“became more geometric, his paint application more controlled and his colours increasingly acidic… all shadow and volume is suppressed to create a hard-edged pattern of colour which embodies the Art Deco style” </i>(A. Strang).\n<br><br>\nIn the 1920s he produced a series of tightly framed compositions, boldly coloured, depicting the rooms and things at his home in 6 Ainslie Place: its black shiny floor, its walls painted in lavender, and its colourful pieces of furniture, with a particularly iconic red-lacquered chair often finding its place as a bright focal point, a repeated presence that unifies the ensemble.","work_author":"Francis Campbell Boileau Cadell","work_title":"6 Ainslie

appointed architect of the state of Middle Franconia during a prosperous and expansive epoch, Steingruber built many public buildings in a style influenced by the French baroque, including churches, schools, town halls, and hospitals. Among the few books he wrote theorizing on type and style, the Architektonisches Alphabeth stands out for its originality and ambition. In it, Steingruber imagines buildings shaped after the restrictive forms of letters, and projects them not only in plan, but also in elevation.\n<br><br>\nIn the January 2019 issue of Casabella, the article “Abecedari Architettonici” includes a reference to this project. The author, Sergio Polano, writes about it:\n<br><br>\n“The result of many years of effort, his Architektonisches Alphabeth is a deft attempt to regulate the arbitrary character of alphabetical forms, under the aegis of an experimental agudeza.

The first is a series of photographs of the before and the after of a carefully set banquet in the middle of nowhere. In the first pictures, a dinner table loaded with food and wine and a set of old chairs surrounding it seems to be expecting the arrival of guests for a special occasion, despite the cold and uninviting surroundings. The last pictures show the destructed aftermath, with chairs broken, bottles fallen, and the rests of the food here and there.\n<br><br>\nThe second part of the work is a video, filmed from a fixed, central point of view that recalls classical paintings, particularly the ones depicting the Last Supper. The video shows what happened in the artist’s absence: a savage feast for vultures that is tantalizing to watch for the similitudes and differences that it establishes with human’s

Weisbecker studied Decorative Arts in Paris, was a graphic designer in Tunisia, later moved to New York where he worked as an interior designer for some time, before starting to get commissions to do illustrations for magazines and newspapers such as Esquire, The New York Times or The Village Voice. While doing his own uncommissioned work, he was first attracted to painting, but in the late 1990s he went back to pencils, rulers, paper, and the pleasure of drawing. He has created a very particular style of seemingly rigid straight lines that create distorted perspectives filled with simple colours.\n<br><br>\nA summer spent with her aunt, an antiques dealer, as a teenager made him want to become a decorator, instead of going for a career in science as he had always intended to. Weekends spent in local antique shops and rural homes in Pennsylvania during the eighties brought him the discovery of the simple furniture of Early American settlers, made with anything available at hand and with a great economy of means. Inspired by this discoveries Weisbecker has extensively studied, drawn, and built furniture in the last few decades, and his work reveals a fascination with the construction of everyday objects, with how things are made.","work_author":"Philippe Weisbecker","work_title":"Drawings","work_year":"1998-2014"},"-Le5vXMkHKFVcSIxzXIU":{"date":1557041915433,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_roomba_01.jpg?alt=media&token=ed4b54d9-a25f-4b8c-ac96-40c9bd3dec53","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_roomba_02.jpg?alt=media&token=38a97e0e-a599-4247-adc3-da0d1c758134","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_roomba_03.jpg?alt=media&token=a71e35d1-7a82-4b22-9314-7a05c71beecf","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_roomba_04.jpg?alt=media&token=3576b261-27b0-42d0-8b91-73733314de31","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_roomba_05.jpg?alt=media&token=97667cff-3a8a-44bb-9385-2418d455bb9e","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_roomba_06.jpg?alt=media&token=4ce4fa97-253b-47e9-8bfc-04ab0b1cf5c9","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_roomba_07.jpg?alt=media&token=f7ffbe7a-abd2-4c11-a3da-e5eef5c37be4","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_roomba_08.jpg?alt=media&token=8ead78a3-5c0b-4229-ac65-7e2cee28859b","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_roomba_09.jpg?alt=media&token=2f3a6dd4-931f-4c2b-918c-bba65db89407","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"irobot"},{"text":"plan"},{"text":"2018"},{"text":"2010s"},{"text":"REPRESENTATION-OF-THE-ARCHITECTURAL-PROJECT"},{"text":"A-PARTICULAR-POINT-OF-VIEW"},{"text":"NEW-TECHNOLOGIES"},{"text":"DEFINITION-OF-A-ROOM"}],"text":"In 2018, American company iRobot presented its latest Roomba model: a vacuum cleaner that is able to create a map of your home as it is cleaning it. \n<br><br>\nAs a form of surveying the domestic space, the method used by the Roomba sensors is more similar to how the NASA robots are exploring and documenting the surface of Mars than the way in which architecture has been traditionally measured in a more linear manner. The resulting plans, visible to the users via an especially made app, do not show the construction of its architecture or its rooms clearly defined, but rather the empty floor space, walls and furniture removed.\n<br><br>\nThe announcement of this new model raised many concerns about privacy and consent. By turning on the machine, users are legally agreeing to share their home information with iRobot, which stores it securely in their own servers, accessible to authorized personnel. By linking it to the company’s app, users can connect their Roomba to smart home devices, thus granting access to the data to third-party companies.\n<br><br>\nColin Angle, chief executive of iRobot Corp, declared: “There’s an entire ecosystem of things and services that the smart home can deliver once you have a rich map of the home that the user has allowed to be shared”. Stock share prices for the company have soared in the last year, prompting many to question whether the company is more interested in collecting data than dirt. And while it is too soon to know what the company can potentially do with all the information it is storing, the fact is that at some point of some cloud there is a virtual map with the floor plan layouts of millions of homes around the globe.","work_author":"iRobot","work_title":"Roomba i7+","work_year":"2018"},"-LeGQE9e3-Joa1H6xLb_":{"date":1557217997511,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_201.jpeg?alt=media&token=4c5a8f8a-3d1a-46a9-b1a0-6b55d052dd39","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"cornelis-meijer"},{"text":"1696"},{"text":"1600s"},{"text":"dining-room"},{"text":"PEOPLE-GET-TOGETHER"}],"work_author":"Cornelis Meijer","work_title":"Modo di rompere un bichiero mediante la voce, è la simpatia dell' instrumento","work_year":"1696"},"-LeQX2V907u3zEvZbNCW":{"date":1557387556956,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_199.jpg?alt=media&token=92af0994-5eec-453f-bd35-42ada934c729","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"james-harrill"},{"text":"painting"},{"text":"1986"},{"text":"1980s"},{"text":"IN-AND-OUT"}],"work_author":"James Harrill","work_title":"Autumn Sunlight","work_year":"1986"},"-LekaFivCJ2OXsdHVCfP":{"date":1557740981230,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_202_1.jpg?alt=media&token=e996f710-e783-4f55-9b23-9cfabf6a5166","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_202_2.jpg?alt=media&token=6579f143-e04a-4b70-9b63-598d8a2f0a1d","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"studio-mumbai"},{"text":"plan"},{"text":"2014"},{"text":"2010s"},{"text":"REPRESENTATION-OF-THE-ARCHITECTURAL-PROJECT"},{"text":"A-PARTICULAR-POINT-OF-VIEW"}],"work_author":"Studio Mumbai","work_title":"Light studies for Saat Rasta Houses","work_year":"2010-2014"},"-Lf-0MoGpdDZZ8WBawDR":{"date":1557999746344,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_203_1.jpg?alt=media&token=c09b0609-0ccc-4b91-8010-1d3596105938","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_203_2.jpg?alt=media&token=2d2a677b-f7b4-4a7f-9d92-3dc7626b05cc","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"gustave-caillebotte"},{"text":"1875"},{"text":"1870s"},{"text":"painting"},{"text":"MATERIALITY"}],"text":"One of the first representations of the urban worker, Caillebotte’s original “Floor Scrapers”, painted in 1875, was deemed by the jurors of the Salon de Paris to be too vulgar to be exhibited in its 1875 edition.

the late 1950s, as TV was increasingly becoming the centre of the household and technological advances were taking architecture towards the efficiency of modular repetition and the use of modern heating systems, artist and artisan Valentine Schlegel started sculpting fireplaces in white plaster over a structure of wire frame in the homes of friends and acquaintances. By then an accomplished ceramist, Schlegel first came to the idea of building fireplaces in order to create adequate spaces for her vases. In a documentary in 1962, she said:\n<br><br>\n“My first fireplace was built so I had a spot to lay my flower vase. A fireplace basically presents the same problem as a flower vase. The latter is built around a void, and a fireplace is built around a hollow. Once you’ve removed its traditional envelope, you are facing a black hearth, a hollow. What I tried to do around that hollow was to stretch out the walls and make them into shelves on which to set my vases and other objects, or make them into spaces to stock the wood, or make them into benches. What I love in this technique of extending and energizing walls is its built-in, integrated aspect that creates a whole with the rest of the house, which has an eternal side.”\n<br><br>\nFrom 1959 to 2002, Schlegel sculpted around 100 fireplaces. Her work remained relatively unknown CAC Brétigny honoured her in 2017 with an exhibition and catalogue/monograph that collected the research artist Hélène Bertin had been gathering for five years.\n<br><br>\nMore on the exhibition <a href=\"https://www.cacbretigny.com/fr/file/file/34/inline/CACBretigny_Cette-femme-pourrait-dormir-dans-l-eau_DP-FR.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">here</a><br>\nAn

The Khamsa (Quintet) was an influential work in Islamic literature, and richly illustrated manuscripts were commissioned by the most powerful rulers of the time.\n<br><br>\nThis edition produced between 1524 and 1525 in the city of Herat, illustrated by Shaikh Zada, has been said to be “one of the most sumptuous manuscripts ever produced in Persia”. Its depictions of the architecture settings where the poems take place are particularly detailed, with special emphasis put in the fourth poem, Haft Paykar (Seven Portraits): the story of a week in the life of Iranian monarch Bahram Gur, who spends each of the seven days of the week in one of his seven palaces (each one in a different colour), along one of his seven wives, each a princess of one of the seven regions of the world. \n<br><br>\nWhereas normally this story would have only one illustration, there are in this edition seven full-page illustrations depicting each one of the seven ornamented palaces. Written verses on its architecture reference the colour of each of them. Even if Bahram Gur lived in the 400s and the poem dates back to the 12th century, the illustrations portray the architecture and objects that would have been found in 16th century Iran, at the beginning of the Safavid dynasty.\n<br><br>\nOther illustrations in the manuscript reveal moments described in other poems, such as the marriage of Khusrau and Shirin, and the tragic love story of Layla and Majnun.\n<br><br>\nThis manuscript is part of the <a href=\"https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection\" target=\"_blank\">Met Collection</a>","work_author":"Shaikh-Zada","work_title":"Miniatures for an edition of Nizami’s Khamsa (Quintet)","work_year":"ca. 1524-25"},"-Lfxn-UWGh2SUtuAwNl1":{"date":1559036168215,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_mepris_01.jpg?alt=media&token=cbbab8c0-36c8-4b62-97d1-78f2f4e5bb04","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_mepris_02.jpg?alt=media&token=d0aace89-43d7-4766-96d8-dc5eae8e90ef","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_mepris_03.jpg?alt=media&token=23cb1484-9f84-49f2-9386-cdcdadfd99b3","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_mepris_04.jpg?alt=media&token=7988ff35-7c11-4498-b629-6098922d81c2","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_mepris_05.jpg?alt=media&token=eb136c74-2967-44b8-851b-37accd2de8c2","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_mepris_06.jpg?alt=media&token=4b45c49c-66c0-4394-9ad6-c0f6233f653b","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_mepris_07.jpg?alt=media&token=956b9edd-7daa-42da-acbb-1d0ebec60c97","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_mepris_08.jpg?alt=media&token=901c4cda-4719-4fd0-9c2e-06d093d5dbda","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_mepris_09.jpg?alt=media&token=40b23ce3-b876-4124-987d-17e3d0f66e86","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_mepris_10.jpg?alt=media&token=91c7d89c-8994-4e36-8ad5-a6655bab7aa9","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_mepris_11.jpg?alt=media&token=d608266f-bbb0-4cd4-8fa3-fbae94e9e682","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_mepris_12.jpg?alt=media&token=9cf8d9b4-82be-4bdf-89e2-c4480d040c62","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_mepris_13.jpg?alt=media&token=6eb0efcb-6863-4717-a5bf-f1658a8a7c0f","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_mepris_14.jpg?alt=media&token=efbffd63-e763-4232-97d1-826d65e1d05b","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_mepris_15.jpg?alt=media&token=db9b3800-8886-4edd-a5c0-9897f208eae7","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_mepris_16.jpg?alt=media&token=93b129ea-f158-45eb-ac41-029e2052d6c2","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"jean-luc-godard"},{"text":"film"},{"text":"1963"},{"text":"1960s"},{"text":"living-room"},{"text":"COLOR"},{"text":"IN-AND-OUT"}],"text":"For the final act of “Le mépris”, Godard transports the action of the film from Rome to Capri.

In spite of their lack of “adequate” proportions, the models’ detailing offers a source of technical knowledge on the construction of the domestic architecture of the time (one that no longer exists): the types of roof line, the organization of the spaces or the decoration on the walls.\n<br><br>\nMore information <a href=\"https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/armod/hd_armod.htm\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>","work_title":"Nayarit House Models","work_year":"200 BC to 300 AD"},"-LgX8w2YIhZcb9_88RE2":{"date":1559646159112,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_207.jpg?alt=media&token=596845c7-acf6-46b0-810b-45d5e8fe5f54","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"emanuel-de-witte"},{"text":"1670"},{"text":"1600s"},{"text":"painting"},{"text":"EVERYDAY-LIFE"}],"work_author":"Emanuel de Witte","work_title":"Interior with a Woman at Virginal","work_year":"1665-1670"},"-Lgg80zxUUmGXFPgLgiN":{"date":1559813693497,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_seel_01.jpg?alt=media&token=d705c8e2-24c9-4265-9e8c-39ca7cd8da11","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_seel_02.jpg?alt=media&token=a2ac37bd-0a67-497e-9657-3bd76dc247d4","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_seel_03.jpg?alt=media&token=10668b75-73c3-4084-9223-c0b9a5983a1c","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_seel_04.jpg?alt=media&token=80163b66-82b6-44bd-9dc0-0ba63845b2f4","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_seel_05.jpg?alt=media&token=8f5ac5c6-f794-4b62-8b35-64ac6e7a820d","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_seel_06.jpg?alt=media&token=858e4839-6b87-48ee-bef3-50e40bbf7379","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_seel_07.jpg?alt=media&token=a276c94a-a689-4aa8-a693-9f3a70b538f7","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"adolf-seel"},{"text":"painting"},{"text":"1870s"},{"text":"PATTERN"},{"text":"EVERYDAY-LIFE"},{"text":"IN-AND-OUT"},{"text":"EXTERIOR-ROOM"}],"text":"During the 1860s and 1870s, German painter Adolf Seel travelled extensively throughout the south of Europe and Northern Africa, where he became enthralled with Arabic and Moorish architecture.

conceived No-Stop City as a theoretical project that reimagined urban fabric as a shapeless and non-figurative continuum created by a structural grid placed over the natural landscape. They defined it as a city without architecture, a “wandering fog bank”.\n<br><br>\nOver the years, Archizoom formalized the project in different ways, adapting the core principles of its theory to different purposes, thus producing a myriad of proposals and an immense quantity of graphical documentation, going from conceptual diagrams to highly detailed models.\n<br><br>\nIn an apparent contradiction, the project is both a Marxist political statement and a reading of contemporary Pop culture (which is in itself an apology of consumerism).\n<br><br>\nIn 1969, they wrote about their then incipient project: \n<br><br>\n<i>“Until now, the depth of buildings and typologies remained anchored to the limits imposed by spontaneous equilibrium: natural lighting and ventilation, and surface per-capita are the result of an image of income and balanced life with general economic conditions that, definitely, needs to be blown to pieces. But the problem is not imagining new working-class neighbourhoods linked to better typologies, but rather imagining amorphous or monomorphic structures, whose utopian content is performed only in quantitative terms, not imagining the organization of a different society, better and fairer, with more beautiful houses. At the moment, we are only interested in them being much larger”</i>\n\n<br><br>\nFounding member of Archizoom Andrea Branzi later wrote:\n<br><br>\n<i>“No-Stop City proposed a totally de-dramatized vision of history, restored to its lay dimensions, and completely devoid of metaphysics. An extreme vision of industrial civilization as the producer of a decorative-repetitive and horizontal system, and one thus devoid of cathedrals. A system based on the repetition of signs, at once diffuse and fluid, within which architecture and nature, like so many exceptions and incidents, dissolved and disappeared into the amniotic space of metropolises.”\n<br><br>\n“The metropolis was envisioned as a vast interior: a single space, climate-controlled and artificially lit like a huge factory or department store, organisms completely in tune with the standardizing logic of the market, impassive containers within which the possibilities are endless.”\n<br><br>\n“This introverted space, this hybrid, yet generic, and totally immoral metropolis, constituted a sort of \"second Nature\", a high­tech Amazon basin, within which functional zoning is conflated only then to be dissolved, and all the received ideas concerning lighting and the natural parcelling of plots evaporated, as did the archetypal constraints which prevent a city from outgrowing a time-worn organic form –that couples together technology and Nature–. The idea of No-Stop City was to free the urban fabric from architecture, so that technology and Nature were not to harmonize, but be fused together - a city without architecture, precisely because it is freed from the need to play the role of mediator between inside and out, between technology and nature that architecture had hitherto granted.”</i>\n<br><br><br>\nThe book “No-Stop City: Archizoom

the last instalment of his series of films <i>Comédies et proverbs</i>, Rohmer returns to Cergy-Pontoise, the <i>ville nouvelle</i> he had portrayed in the documentary <i>Enfance d’une ville </i>(1975). Twelve years later he sets the action of his new film in its public buildings, its private spaces, and its central park. Its young inhabitants study, work, and live there. They go up to the lake for water sports and meet each other in the café in the city’s main square, although they don’t quite agree on which one of the squares is actually the main one. The city and its architecture become a stage that provides an atmosphere of its own. \n<br><br>\nBlanche, the main character, lives in Ricardo Bofill’s monumental Belvédère Saint-Christophe, the newly finished housing building. In the moment of filming, the grass is still not planted and some of its apartments remain unoccupied. Her newly acquainted friend Léa already has a strong opinion about it, as can be seen in a conversation they have about it:\n<br><br>\n<i>L:  Where do you live?</i><br>\nB:  In Saint-Christophe, in the Belvédère<br>\n<i>L:  Ah, in that huge thing?</i><br>\nB:  Yes<br>\n<i>L:  Do you like it there?</i><br>\nB:  Yes, a lot<br>\n<i>L:  I don’t like it, it looks like a military quarter.</i><br>\nB:  I would say more like a palace<br>\n<i>L:  A palace in the outside… but inside?</i><br>\nB:  Have you visited it?<br>\n<i>L:  No. But I imagine it.</i><br>\nB:  Well no.

In his work for Kunsthalle Bern, Asher puts the museum’s heating system in the spotlight, as he repositions all of the museum’s radiators to the building’s foyer. \n<br><br>\nThe result is a sculptural arrangement from which a network of dozens of pipes emerge. The tubes are led to their original location through the different rooms, traversing walls and stairwells, reconnecting with the existing installation and enclosing the system.\n<br><br>\nBeyond the conceptual disruption of the context in which it operates, and the sophisticated composition of its system, the installation operates in terms of climatic comfort as well. The foyer becomes an overheated space, the hearth of the building, and radiates heat into its immediate surroundings. But as one walks away, the exhibition rooms that had been until recently comfortable and well-adjusted become colder and colder.\n<br><br><br>\nMore about this work <a

Bourgeois’ series of paintings and prints Femme-Maison, produced between 1946 and 1947, present women naked, their identities concealed behind houses that hide their faces.\n<br><br>\nBourgeois, then mainly a housewife and mother of three operating on the fringes of the art society and not the powerful juggernaut she is considered to be today, always viewed the process of making art as “giving tangible form, and thus exorcising, gripping subconscious states of being”.\n<br><br>\nIn these works, she is portraying her frustration over women’s (and her own) place in society as nothing more than the domestic housewife: a body to be disposed of (hence the visible genitalia) with no identity of her own beyond that of the house she occupies. The idea of “home” is seen both as a place to hide and as a prison. On one hand, it takes away the need to present oneself to the world as an individual mind.

These rooms were classically organized into a processional, spatial system with circulation on both the axis and cross axis. Reference to the sequential planning of traditional museum spaces was intentional, but the size was proportionately reduced to signify the scale of a gallery.<br><br>\n“Once seen, the little drawing of the space seems almost inevitable.  How could any other drawing record so perfectly the syncopated series of spaces?  The simplicity of the drawings, the minimal means – black ink and Zipatone – make this sheet so clear and precise it seems almost surreal, a quality greatly enhanced by the seemingly diminutive scale and random placement of openings.  How mysterious a world is created with such economy.  This is the kind of drawing that transcends its function of describing a space and justifies the exhibition of architectural drawings in a museum of fine arts.” — Bob Bruegmann, Inland Architect, May 1983</i>","work_author":"Tigerman-McCurry","work_title":"Van Straaten Gallery","work_year":"1983"},"-Ll0j2dlyjDAqyNPzLTS":{"date":1564470950568,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_weisbecker2_01.jpg?alt=media&token=765a549b-0e78-4bb8-ac05-cee61dd8fe39","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_weisbecker2_02.jpg?alt=media&token=7f0d1580-f3b4-41cb-bfcf-5fd693061ab8","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_weisbecker2_03.jpg?alt=media&token=e037f4e4-6acd-4f52-92e2-8ac7f9830687","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_weisbecker2_04.jpg?alt=media&token=4de368e8-7749-465b-95b7-0e10fe35e95e","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_weisbecker2_05.jpg?alt=media&token=5cf0cd12-6ee0-4f26-b086-e23460d717d6","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_weisbecker2_06.jpg?alt=media&token=75cd8e61-1a9d-4fb5-b15b-2e8a9caea2c2","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_weisbecker2_07.jpg?alt=media&token=70b5470f-b29f-4b8a-8d1d-0302376cd7ec","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_weisbecker2_08.jpg?alt=media&token=0366d2d4-8f4e-4ade-bb1b-9f0c67491ba6","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_weisbecker2_09.jpg?alt=media&token=74994ad5-6a1f-4992-9d3b-42e7eeaf9648","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_weisbecker2_10.jpg?alt=media&token=53d7a4a7-9f38-4706-9dfa-0383f338eff9","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_weisbecker2_11.jpg?alt=media&token=14215a79-ce34-4e73-88e6-4b11d3f96b0e","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_weisbecker2_12.jpg?alt=media&token=1b9c8cfa-d65a-4354-bb2d-346339236f25","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_weisbecker2_13.jpg?alt=media&token=dfc08c6c-f9ac-4f70-a763-f7ffb99c49b7","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"philippe-weisbecker"},{"text":"drawing"},{"text":"2000s"},{"text":"REPETITION"}],"text":"Philippe Weisbecker studied Decorative Arts in Paris, was a graphic designer in Tunisia, later moved to New York where he worked as an interior designer for some time, before starting to get commissions to do illustrations for magazines and newspapers such as Esquire, The New York Times or The Village Voice. While doing his own uncommissioned work, he was first attracted to painting, but in the late 1990s he went back to pencils, rulers, paper, and the pleasure of drawing. He has created a very particular style of seemingly rigid straight lines that create distorted perspectives filled with simple colours.\n<br><br>\nDespite never having gone camping, when a friend of his recommended looking into camping equipment, he dived into it:\n<br><br>\n“I went to stores, looked at catalogs and, sure enough, found what inspired me: Inflatable mattresses, folding tents, collapsible tables, pan-size gas burners, and all sorts of different equipment corresponding to my taste for simple things.

Schäfer produced art installations and site-specific interventions before developing an interest in the more \"archaic\" medium of painting.\n<br><br>\nFor the series \"Interieurs\", he built a model of his own studio and started observing and portraying what he saw. The resulting works offer a vast display of approaches, as the model is sometimes seen as an object or still life, while other times it becomes a container of spaces, where he studies the effect of light in the fabricated walls, floors and ceilings.\n<br><br>\nBy focusing his attention on the model instead of the identical, 1:1 space that surrounds it, Schäfer's paintings have an abstract quality that is detached from the grainy detail of the human scale, even when in later paintings, Schäfer introduces a few objects scattered around the spaces: a table, boards leaning against the walls, or some rubbish on the floor.\n<br><br><br>\nAn interesting analysis on these works, written by Dorothea Zwirner for the catalogue of the exhibition held in 2018, can be read <a

by both the Situationists and Jenny Holzer, Robert Montgomery's works operate in an urban scale in various forms: from street ads covered with poems (guerrilla-style) to large installations of led-lit words. He uses the most literal form of communication, text, as the means to convey ideas, but more often than not, their true meaning is left open.\n<br><br>\nThe work \"All Palaces Are Temporary Palaces\" has been installed in several cities since 2011, gaining new significances within every new context of place and time. It is mostly associated its installation in a former DDR-era East Berlin swimming pool, but it has temporarily been exhibited in Paris, Venice, Lyon, or Cardiff. In the British city it was placed in 2016 on top of a brutalist parking building from the seventies that was going to be demolished. In an interview on the occasion of the Cardiff opening he said:\n<br><br>\n<i>\"It gives it a kind of pathos when you see parts of the city, big chunks of the cities, being torn down and rebuilt to certain new development ideals. (...) The piece \"All Palaces Are Temporary Palaces\", it works really well in civic architecture, somehow, in buildings of a period that is gone. (...) It is about the temporariness of place, and also about the temporariness of privilege in a sense.\"</i>\n<br><br><br>\nFull video with the interview <a href=\"https://vimeo.com/188632362\"

of Homes was envisioned by SITE (Sculpture In The Environment) as a model of a city within a city: a structural building frame to be sold by lots to potential dwellers who wanted to live in city centres without renouncing to some of the aspects that made suburbia an appealing option, such as a garden and the choice to define the functional and aesthetic aspects of your own home using a catalogue of components. Every floor would have interior streets, and there would be spaces for shops, offices, and other facilities on the lower floors.\n<br><br>\nArtist James Wines, a founding member of SITE, talked about the project in a recent interview:\n<br><br>\n<i>“I think the main value of this project is its statement of anti-formalism. The point is to construct a basic matrix –as the only contribution of the architect/engineer– and then allow the urban dwellers to determine their own choices of residential style and uses of the real estate parcels. Like Duchamp’s notion of “canned chance”, the Highrise of Homes was an idea based on an orchestration of indeterminate elements.”\n<br><br>\n“As far as a future for this proposal is concerned, all I know is that it has inspired many imitators over the years. Unfortunately, most of the subsequent interpretations have missed the point entirely. These modified versions project a similar appearance of random aesthetic elements; but in reality, they are simply the same formalist orchestrations of the architects’ own sculptural and stylistic concerns. My idea was to establish a fundamental support structure and encourage occupants to fill in the spaces as an unpredictable collage of choice, chance, and change.”</i>\n<br><br><br>\nFull interview

Neighbors project began when I inherited a long-focus lens and started photographing the occupants of the glass-walled apartment building across the street from my Manhattan studio. I was transfixed by the divergent narratives, obstructed by reflections and the patina of dust on glass, that were created in the segmented windows. <br>\n(...)<br>\nI was stringent about not revealing the identities of the subjects because I was not photographing these people as specific, identifiable personages, but more as representations of human kind, of us. I only reveal the turn of the head, the back against a window, the legs under a table. These tiny scenarios and actions reveal a humanness that is unconsciously truthful and tender.”</i>\n<br><br>\nIn his project \"The Neighbors\", photographer Arne Svenson constructs a series of quasi-abstract compositions that expose the inner life of a glazed building in TriBeCa behind the grid structure of the window frames.\n<br><br>\nThe portrayals are intimate in that they reveal everyday moments up close and without artifice, but at the same time they keep the observer detached by concealing the inhabitants' faces. In opposition to Hitchcock's Rear Window, where James Stewart plays a photographer who becomes obsessed with his neighbours’ activities and misdemeanours, Svenson's photographs do not intend to judge or reveal secrets of other people's lives, but rather seem to use them as parts of a still life.\n<br><br>\nNot surprisingly, the people depicted in the photographs were not pleased with the invasion of their privacy, and sued the photographer, but their claims were dismissed in two separate occasions on First Amendment grounds.","work_author":"Arne Svenson","work_title":"The Neighbors","work_year":"2013"},"-Lpgz1HRfXGr1LXAcb3Q":{"date":1569491526886,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_2468_01.jpg?alt=media&token=6884f7ce-d15d-4397-b598-ccd4f0aa19de","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_2468_01__.jpg?alt=media&token=f58531af-3cd7-4db2-8269-b2df495af754","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_2468_01___.jpg?alt=media&token=6efcc29c-c6f0-4ef9-a85d-94514f33da31","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_2468_02.jpg?alt=media&token=7d4f7e2d-ee6d-4a94-ab02-1466d5c3bfd3","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_2468_02_.jpg?alt=media&token=df69fdad-b376-486a-90ec-fa7f20ebe0a9","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_2468_03.jpg?alt=media&token=2fc1b85e-c15e-4cd2-9df0-c199cefdbbf3","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_2468_04.jpg?alt=media&token=a7066069-8d9c-4842-8fc8-bf87360243db","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_2468_05.jpg?alt=media&token=d01877be-0350-4b0f-bdeb-7416e2e1b463","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_2468_06.jpg?alt=media&token=18b7db9b-f03d-4b1d-9888-994bc20deb4b","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_2468_07.jpg?alt=media&token=251ccc28-3d99-4aa6-945a-7f7ea2461af7","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_2468_08.jpg?alt=media&token=df165374-850d-4f09-a050-6b20870546ad","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_2468_09.jpg?alt=media&token=26faecf8-8bd1-46bc-ae1f-847286e5cc92","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_2468_10.jpg?alt=media&token=1e823c3f-f030-460c-a809-094bbb8ccd43","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"morphosis"},{"text":"1978"},{"text":"1970s"},{"text":"drawing"},{"text":"DEFINITION-OF-A-ROOM"},{"text":"MATERIALITY"},{"text":"REPRESENTATION-OF-THE-ARCHITECTURAL-PROJECT"},{"text":"AXONOMETRY"}],"text":"<i>\"Our client, who served as the builder of this project, desired a room for privacy and meditation which could function for a broad range of activities. This studio was to be added onto a 1920's beach bungalow.<br><br>\nBecause we wished to communicate with the client and were interested in the formal terms of the design of the house, we created a “Revell-like“ kit. This kit documented the project in a familiar format that could be understood by a layperson and could help to alleviate some of the fear and confusion inherent in undertaking such a formidable task. The kit contained two posters, which catalogued the building materials and described a basic step-by-step construction assembly. A pocket-sized set of working drawings served as the major means of communication with the client.<br><br>\nThe primary design objective was to develop a simple, straightforward building that reflected the client's values. In order to reinforce the aspect of retreat, the studio was conceived of as a one-volume detached house placed over a two-car garage behind the existing residence. There are modest provisions for kitchen and bath. The house is of conventional wood balloon frame and is covered with asphalt shingles.<br><br>\nThe windows were designed to reinforce the centrality of the space, while offering a differentiated perception of the external milieu. The building is neither heated nor cooled mechanically, it depends on the one “conventional“ window for environmental control. The sunlight is controlled through external servo-operated blinds. The space is naturally ventilated by manually operated vents, which project as lintels on three sides. Hot water is provided by solar collector panels.

1994, photojournalist Peter Menzel invited families around the world to be photographed in the company of all of their possessions for the book \"Material World\". After the success of that book, in 2005 he teamed up with writer Faith D'Aluisio in a similar project, though this time the focus was on the food that 24 families around the globe consumed in any given week.\n<br><br>\nThe portrayals of the families show the cultural disparities between the ways of living in different parts of the world in terms not only of the food displayed, but also on the people's clothes and the spaces they inhabit. Moreover, and to the surprise of probably no one, they reveal that the more \"advanced\" the country, the less sustainable their lifestyle is, and the more indistinguishable it becomes from the rest of \"advanced\" countries.","work_author":"Peter Menzel and Faith D'Aluisio","work_title":"Hungry Planet: What the World Eats","work_year":"2005"},"-LqAmWCjV3JzA93j7hR-":{"date":1570008339351,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_sansour_01.jpg?alt=media&token=ae7b56d4-d9e9-4c9c-be91-5ed736db81c7","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_sansour_02.jpg?alt=media&token=7a6a9c84-35f0-4298-b4d0-9b15b6b01a0a","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_sansour_03.jpg?alt=media&token=618971d8-d792-4caa-b66f-253fb51c53a0","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_sansour_04.jpg?alt=media&token=e01f2503-adf6-467f-9e87-41e45d9a0092","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_sansour_05.jpg?alt=media&token=5d577c5a-800b-4e40-99f2-8ba7c8fc1c93","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_sansour_06.jpg?alt=media&token=675b7042-3406-482b-9059-743f8b582a9f","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_sansour_07.jpg?alt=media&token=564a35c0-5673-4a03-842a-74e8f4647027","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_sansour_08.jpg?alt=media&token=edb085ec-67f6-4c3b-acdf-3f8184a0fd16","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_sansour_09.jpg?alt=media&token=8611641f-0815-4035-89b5-da339701e7c7","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_sansour_10.jpg?alt=media&token=0e0de881-8916-43cc-8bee-611e06d9e57f","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_sansour_11.jpg?alt=media&token=99c8653f-b503-4a23-b1a1-9c0a95d4c94a","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_sansour_12.jpg?alt=media&token=c745e79b-0798-4422-8267-18c0017b6fd2","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"larissa-sansour"},{"text":"film"},{"text":"2019"},{"text":"2010s"},{"text":"MATERIALITY"},{"text":"RADICAL-WAYS-OF-LIVING"}],"text":"Danish-Palestinian artist Larissa Sansour’s film “In Vitro”, commissioned by the Danish Pavilion for the Biennale di Venezia, explores the life of the survivors of an eco-disaster in an underground bunker beneath the city of Bethlehem.\n<br><br>\nAfter the apocalypse, the survivors converted an abandoned nuclear reactor into their home and planted an orchard that could eventually be transported and replanted to the soil above. Decades after, two scientists engage in a conversation that delves on the topics of nostalgia, exile, and collective memory. The older is the dying founder of the subterranean orchard; her successor is a young woman born underground as part of a cloning program, who is destined to bring life back to a town she has never seen.\n<br><br>\nThe huge spaces built in concrete and the absence of a relationship between interior and exterior propose an idea of domesticity that is very far away from our understanding of what \"home\" is. But for its younger inhabitants, it's all they have ever seen.\n<br><br>\nArtist's website <a href=\"https://www.larissasansour.com\" target=\"_blank\">here</a><br>\nMore info and full trailer <a

anonymous simplicity of Shaker furniture has been praised well outside the small community of people who developed it for 200 years. Based on what they called the Three P's (plainness, practicality, and pride), the influence of its delicate craftsmanship, \"unembellished by any superfluities which add nothing to its goodness or durability\", has been acknowledged by designers such as Charles Eames and George Nakashima.\n<br><br>\nAt its height during the 19th century, the United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing, commonly known as Shakers for the entranced dancing in their rituals, included more than 6000 members living in 19 villages spread around the north-eastern United States. They were celibate, anti-slavery and believed in equal rights for men and women. Their community is regarded as the longest-lived American utopian experiment, in spite of its members not having any children. \n<br><br>\nThe architecture of their villages reflects the importance they placed on hard work (which also made them prosperous farmers). The interiors of their homes and workshops is instantly recognizable for the particular style of their furniture, which was dictated by the Mother Colony in New York, and changed only minimally over the years.\n<br><br><br>\nMost images shown here are scanned from the book \"The Shakers: Hands to Work, Hearts to God\" by Amy Stechler Burns and Ken Burns, based on a <a

artist Jan Dibbets turned to photography in the late sixties as a way to document outdoor installations he was doing after giving up on painting. Ever since, his body of work has been focused on distorting the notion that photography captures reality, and experimenting with the medium in order to create works that delve on the 'how' instead of the 'what'.<br><br>\n<i>\"Every photograph is a lie. It doesn’t represent anything. Therefore it is both real and abstract. Photography is very easy and very complicated at the same time. It’s tricky and in this trick the fascination lies. You need a key and if you are lucky enough to find one it’s like opening Pandora’s Box; tricky and fascinating and dangerous. It’s a wonderful world, photography. It’s the new painting.\"</i><br><br>\nFor his series \"Perspective Corrections\", started in 1967, he drew trapezoids that would become squares when photographed from a particular point of view. The real trapezoids are long gone, and so it is the photography, an illusion of what reality was, that remains.<br><br>\nIn 1970 he portrayed his living room in \"Shortest Day at My House in Amsterdam\", initiating a new series that focused on the passage of time. He photographed the same spot of the house every six minutes for a whole day, capturing the changes of light, and displayed the resulting images in a grid. Seen from afar, the details of the room disappear and the composition reveals a quasi-abstract quality of lightness and shadow. Similarly, he experimented also with the possibilities of the camera shutter and the amount of light that arrives to the film.<br><br>\nIn the 80s, his series of portrayals of architectural spaces are made with a collage of pictures, assembled in circular geometry, which often incorporate hand-drawing and painting.<br><br>\nIn a lot essay from <a href=\"https://www.christies.com/lotfinder/drawings-watercolors/jan-dibbets-guggenheim-i-5619930-details.aspx?from=searchresults&intObjectID=5619930&sid=9e23eb09-5fcb-4318-971a-a1a37ca027a9\" target=\"_blank\">Christie's</a>:<br><br>\n\n<i>\"In Dibbet's oeuvre, the concepts of space and time are placed under scrutiny and applied in new and more conceptual means, distancing himself from the Renaissance notion of perspective and the modern way of depicting a three dimensional space on a two dimensional plane.\"</i><br><br><br>\n\nAn interview with Jan Dibbets in <a href=\"http://thisistomorrow.info/articles/an-interview-with-jan-dibbets\" target=\"_blank\">This is Tomorrow</a><br>\nMore information on the artist and the different phases of his work from an exhibition in <a href=\"https://www.castellodirivoli.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/dibbets.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Castello di Rivoli</a>","work_author":"Jan Dibbets","work_year":"1967-2004"},"-Lrx6nsVeWhVrZBsxTAV":{"date":1571909746280,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_michals_01.jpg?alt=media&token=86bdd1d5-f6c8-49b7-b039-79f68fa226b4","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_michals_02.jpg?alt=media&token=f6865beb-757f-4263-807e-99d8958bb9a4","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_michals_03.jpg?alt=media&token=7ce27b60-a786-4442-bd16-f0df96df590a","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_michals_04.jpg?alt=media&token=e5ef1708-6734-4033-9ab2-cb35e12af418","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_michals_05.jpg?alt=media&token=1d67dea0-d201-4088-bd8b-aa9346a0d896","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_michals_06.jpg?alt=media&token=987fd4df-ce8e-4a06-b53c-63630aa2cc83","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_michals_07.jpg?alt=media&token=b3d3eab4-23a8-4651-9c90-8fa583cbe131","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_michals_08.jpg?alt=media&token=2ade6d6a-d5b1-4b86-a2a9-112249baff7b","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_michals_09.jpg?alt=media&token=3b9e7b1b-905c-4429-8b71-327a0f6c7b47","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"duane-michals"},{"text":"photography"},{"text":"1973"},{"text":"1970s"},{"text":"OUT-OF-PLACE-OUT-OF-SCALE"},{"text":"A-PARTICULAR-POINT-OF-VIEW"},{"text":"IN-AND-OUT"}],"text":"The nine photographs that compose this series can be understood individually or as a part of a circular narrative in which every picture of them is connected to the one that precedes it and the one that follows it. \n<br><br>\nA picture of a bathroom is revealed to be out of scale with the presence of a man's feet.

Book of Perspective”, published simultaneously in French, Latin, Dutch and German, is one of the most celebrated works by painter turned architect Hans Vredeman de Vries. Intended both as a manual and as a collectable item, Vredeman de Vries proclaimed the book to be <i>“for all painters, engravers, sculptors, metalworkers architects, designers, masons, cabinetmakers, carpenters, and all the lovers of the arts who wish to apply themselves to this art with greater pleasure and less pain”</i>. A series of increasingly complex engravings illustrate the book and acknowledge the influence of architectural masters Vitruviuis, Sebastiano Serlio and Jacques Androuet du Cerceau.\n<br><br>\nCollector Mark J. Millard wrote about the work:\n<br><br>\n<i>“What makes this book so visually compelling is Vredeman's geometric emphasis and restraint, which results in an almost eerie sequence of unpopulated rooms and courtyards displaying his flair for compositional forms.

As with the Homeric horse, the pilgrim enters the body of the saint as he would a tower or a wagon steered by a knowing technician. After he mounts the exterior stair of the pedestal, the steep ascent through the interior of the body reveals the structure of the work and the welded seams of the huge pieces of sheet metal. Finally, he arrives at the interior-exterior of the head; from the eyes of the saint, a view of the lake acquires infinite contours, as if one were gazing from a celestial observatory.

The old town of Gibellina was destroyed to the point to which it was deemed irreparable and a new town was built a few kilometres away.\n<br><br>\nA group of artists and architects were invited to contribute their work to Nuova Gibellina. After seeing the devastation of the old town of Gibellina in his visit in 1981, with the ruins of the old homes still there 20 years later, he proposed to build a piece of land art in the heart of the disaster instead. It would become a memorial of the devastating effects of the earthquake, while establishing a connection with the artist’s own work. \n<br><br>\nDuring the late 60s and early 70s, Burri had produced a series of paintings called Cretti inspired by the pattern of the naturally cracked soil of the desert of Death Valley, in California.\n<br><br>\n<i>“Comprising solely of a monochrome surface of thickly encrusted paint that has been encouraged to crack and breakup into an assisted natural pattern, they are, like most of Burri's works, seemingly authorless and self-defining entities that elegantly articulate their own inherent material nature as a pictorial surface. As such, these fascinating and often surprisingly beautiful works are also startling graphic portraits of the unpredictable forces of nature operating within the logic and the structure of 'painting'.” </i> (Extract from a <a href=\"https://www.christies.com/lotfinder/Lot/alberto-burri-1915-1995-cretto-5652394-details.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Christie’s lot essay</a>)\n<br><br>\nThe large-scale Cretto he projected for Gibellina became an acknowledgement of those unpredictable forces of nature. The homes of hundreds, reduced to piles of rubble no one had bothered to remove, became the filling of large blocks of white concrete. The cracks, in this case, had the size of narrow streets and its disposition responded to the situation on which the ruins had been found.\n<br><br>\nConstruction started in 1985, but was interrupted in 1989, with around two thirds of the installation built. In 2015, on the centenary of Burri’s birth, the work was completed.","work_author":"Alberto Burri","work_title":"Grande

Magritte's vast repertoire of works, certain elements appear over and over again. They are taken out of context, or out of scale, and they are placed together in what the artist called \"elective affinities\". Windows and doors, in particular, for their condition of the in-between, offer numerous possibilities to the distortion of perception. Doors are sometimes part of a landscape, their condition of threshold lost in the space. Other times they are carved, offering a distinction between the inside and the outside. Shattered glass on the floor of a room does not reflect the inside of the room, but the outside that can be seen framed by the window where the glass came from. Painted canvases merge with the landscape they portray. Fascinated by the enigmatic presence and non-materiality of clouds, these are everywhere: in the skies on the back or floating ethereally in the nearest space. Curtains are turned into recognizable shapes that sometimes lose their fabric materiality to reveal, rather than conceal.","work_author":"René Magritte","work_title":"Doors, and Windows, and Clouds, and Curtains"},"-LuayEbRWcV6qtUCAe-T":{"date":1574759365148,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_242.jpg?alt=media&token=c94e5aad-f0a6-45cd-ae02-1f2498c794af","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"francesco-del-cossa"},{"text":"1400s"},{"text":"painting"},{"text":"PEOPLE-GET-TOGETHER"},{"text":"FRONTAL-PERSPECTIVE"},{"text":"EXTERIOR-ROOM"}],"work_author":"Francesco del Cossa","work_title":"The Meeting of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba","work_year":"1400s"},"-LukrHG5kLF7C7utr-Bg":{"date":1574925313161,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_241.JPG?alt=media&token=e00c6c0a-0d5d-4332-8fc1-4c450b62375d","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"madelon-vriesendorp"},{"text":"drawing"},{"text":"1991"},{"text":"1990s"},{"text":"OUT-OF-PLACE-OUT-OF-SCALE"},{"text":"HOMAGE"}],"work_author":"Madelon Vriesendorp","work_title":"Sketch for Dalíing Around (Portrait Rem Koolhaas)","work_year":"1991"},"-Luqdq6T58dT72dguO7N":{"date":1575022453282,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_jbonner_01.jpg?alt=media&token=78f66873-3a3d-4c2d-a241-5eac2a2a2ba8","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_jbonner_02.jpg?alt=media&token=a97f6341-0a06-489b-ba28-b9f8a8d74ac7","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_jbonner_03.jpg?alt=media&token=8e69afec-3b48-47b7-ac41-313594dad7f2","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_jbonner_04.jpg?alt=media&token=092d4a5f-16e6-4528-adfd-bae2109b8505","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_jbonner_05.jpg?alt=media&token=8ed22426-302f-457b-952d-ad3f00f76061","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_jbonner_06.jpg?alt=media&token=ba916622-ddde-436c-8a9b-aad0e737755a","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_jbonner_07.jpg?alt=media&token=76dbc9e9-eecc-41b1-8972-2af85f207dee","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_jbonner_08.jpg?alt=media&token=03d5b132-536d-4959-b8e6-1738698d22ca","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_jbonner_09.jpg?alt=media&token=8587c8db-3c02-4fe3-a5b4-5feec4b194e3","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_jbonner_10.jpg?alt=media&token=93d76766-1a36-4d24-80f6-59fc72570e66","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_jbonner_11.jpg?alt=media&token=804b693f-c0cd-48af-a3d1-1382bdabe2bf","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_jbonner_12.jpg?alt=media&token=6be00de1-05d7-434d-af70-c01d726e43cc","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"jennifer-bonner"},{"text":"model"},{"text":"2010s"},{"text":"OUT-OF-PLACE-OUT-OF-SCALE"},{"text":"COLOR"}],"text":"In 2014, architect Jennifer Bonner produced a series of large massing models representing repetitive roof typologies found in suburban Atlanta. With the name of Domestic Hats, these models depicted “copy-paste forms that not only populate the housing stock, but represent house figures and house shapes widely accepted by the public”.\n<br><br>\nThree years later, in The Dollhaus, Bonner explored the possibilities of the interior life inside a dwelling such as that. The roof shapes inform the weird disposition of its walls and the resulting geometry of its domestic spaces.\n<br><br>\nThe model is built in a scale of 1:12 in plywood and with faux-finishing materials that take on the tradition of southerners not being able to afford the real thing and thus faking it. In the photographs of the model, the neon lighting offers yet another layer of pop to the representation of the house, with the addition of artificial colour that further contributes to the unrealness

1977 and 1985, photographer Jim Goldberg portrayed some of the wealthiest and the most impoverished people in the city of San Francisco. He shot the pictures in the intimacy of their homes and then asked those portrayed to comment on what they saw.\n<br><br>\n\"When tackling a topic as loaded as poverty, questions of ownership and representation abound. But in offering the subjects the chance to review their image and add a dimension of their own to the work, Goldberg gives them a stake in the narrative. Here, the text and images work as cumulative data, gathered over the course of eight years - historical testaments to lives as much as they are photographs.\" (extract from an <a href=\"https://www.magnumphotos.com/newsroom/society/jim-goldberg-rich-and-poor/\" target=\"_blank\">article in Magnum Photos</a>)\n<br><br>\nAmong the subjects' responses, they vary from hopeful, apathetic, humorous, despairing, or over-confident. They are raw and they are sincere. The book that compiles them all, with the unambiguous title \"Rich and Poor\", is a harrowing portrait of the social division of the America of the late seventies and early eighties, one that is particularly poignant when compared to the situation of inequality prevailing nowadays, particularly in cities like San Francisco.","work_author":"Jim Goldberg","work_title":"Rich and

Ray's paintings frame fragments of real spaces and establish connections between the different elements in the composition. As some of her most recent series reveal, she is particularly interested in the relationship past artists (some more recent, others going back as far as centuries: from Donald Judd to Fra Angelico) have established with the space in which their works were placed. By portraying those pieces in context, often without showing them entirely, Ray adds one more layer of interpretation: that of the viewer observing the artwork in a particular moment in time, with a particular light.\n<br><br><br>\nFrom an article by Kyle Chayka in The Paris Review:\n<br><br>\n\"In Marfa, Texas, three hours into the desert from El Paso, the artist Donald Judd installed a hundred geometric sculptures in two disused artillery sheds. Arrayed in a grid are boxes made of milled aluminium, all the same size but each uniquely composed with different patterns of segmented space. Through the sheds’ massive windows, sun and blue sky and yellowed scrub reflect on the aluminium at shifting angles. As you walk through the space, it becomes hard to tell whether you’re looking at a solid sheet of metal or only the illusion of one, created by light.\n<br><br>\nPhotography is banned in the Marfa installation; only a few sanctioned images exist. Photos could never capture the experience of being surrounded by the boxes because pictures flatten the experience, turning it into a shallow singular impression—the Instagram version—rather than the active process of perception that Judd sought. Instead of photos, the young Brooklyn-based artist Eleanor Ray has depicted the boxes in a series of hardcover-book-size paintings that preserve the ambiguity. In Ray’s luminous oils, the walls, windows, and metal alike dissolve into thin brushstrokes that hover between landscape and abstraction. It’s up to the viewer to decide what’s what.\" \n<br><br><br>\nFrom John Yau's article \"Eleanor Ray's Sacred Spaces\" in Hyperallergic:\n<br><br>\n\"The way she uses the architectural elements to section off her rectangular formats owe something to the asymmetrical compositions of Piet Mondrian, an artist she has evoked in some of her earlier paintings. The views she picks are never casual. When she depicts the inside or outside of a building, she is highly attuned to the way the underlying geometry merges with the landscape –the sky, field, and mountain.\"\n<br><br><br>\nA compilation

his series of “Small Worlds”, Frank Kunert constructs and photographs detailed miniature reproductions of seemingly ordinary places that reveal a turn for the absurd on a closer look.\n<br><br>\n<i>“On the surface, these photographs confront us with all of the hollow words, catchphrases and banalities we encounter in our daily lives. The stereotypical and senseless aspects of human communication cannot be unveiled more convincingly than in their literal conversion into a visual medium. Kunert deliberately oscillates between humor, wit, scurrility and the grotesque. (…) On a deeper level, these \"Small Worlds\" are linked by a reoccurring motif: our deep human desire for security and our fear of loss, as well as our anxiety regarding the transitory nature of life. It is no accident that, despite all of the foliage depicted, there is not a single photograph in this collection that evokes a feeling of summer. In addition, Kunert does not portray secluded suburbia as a neat row of townhouses with carports, but rather as buildings that stem from the early post-war period. Melancholy and dejection pervade these images.”</i> (Part of an article by Dr Christine Donat about Kunert's work)\n<br><br>\nMore info in the artist's <a href=\"https://www.frank-kunert.de/en/info/\" target=\"_blank\">website</a>","work_author":"Frank Kunert","work_title":"Kleinen Welten","work_year":"2010s"},"-Lw82eedOzsf4iW0-mdt":{"date":1576404953838,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_245.jpg?alt=media&token=46135144-7190-4284-a466-b739cba9db94","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"mir'ali-katib"},{"text":"shaybanid-bukhara"},{"text":"painting"},{"text":"FRONTAL-PERSPECTIVE"},{"text":"COLOR"},{"text":"EXTERIOR-ROOM"},{"text":"IN-AND-OUT"}],"work_author":"Mir 'Ali Katib, Shaybanid Bukhara","work_title":"Page from a Persian manuscript","work_year":"ca. 1535"},"-Lw83LqK0iHJNebbcRwF":{"date":1576405134809,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_246.jpg?alt=media&token=0086b22b-d336-414e-98bb-ecc55c7aac3a","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"toyo-ito"},{"text":"collage"},{"text":"1980s"},{"text":"REPRESENTATION-OF-THE-ARCHITECTURAL-PROJECT"},{"text":"EVERYDAY-LIFE"}],"text":"In the early 1980s, Toyo Ito sought to move towards non-formal architecture.

the early 80s, German artist Hannjörg Voth built himself a temporary home on the sea. A wooden pyramid of 12m of height stood on a platform of 14x14m raised 3,5m above the sea level. Nine pillars attached it to the earth below the water. The construction could only be reached by boat, and a metallic staircase led the visitors in.\n<br><br>\nInside de pyramid, a series of private rooms and services surrounded one larger, 8x8 meters square shaped space in the middle. In that space stood a piece of stone measuring 70x100x400cm. The artist spent one whole year living inside the pyramid, chiselling a boat out of the stone. Once a month, he would invite guests for a meal. They cooked all together and ate in a U-shaped table next to the boat-in-progress.\n<br><br>\nPhotographer Ingrid Amslinger, who is also Voth's wife, captured the whole process, from its construction to the intimacy of the daily life. The resulting images, along with plans, drawings and texts were published in a monographic book in 1983.\n<br><br>\nHelmut Schneider then wrote: <i>\"The pyramid with the stone boat, in its proportions of Cartesian clarity, radiated something that can best be described as Franciscan. The work heralded the possibility of a life in which it is not the having but the being that determines.\"</i><br><br><br>\nImages of the book taken from <a href=\"http://theartofmemory.blogspot.com/2011/09/voth-boot-aus-stein.html\" target=\"_blank\">The Art of Memory\"</a><br>\nSee more in the artist's website <a href=\"http://www.hannsjoerg-voth.de/03_boot_aus_stein.html\" target=\"_blank\">website</a>","work_author":"Hannsjörg Voth","work_title":"Voot aus Stein","work_year":"1978-81"},"-LyhlgNV6c52a7QiRGV0":{"date":1579168482942,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_253.jpg?alt=media&token=5188ff4e-aa50-4835-81f9-e0dbf027bf53","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"johannes-jelgerhuis"},{"text":"painting"},{"text":"1820"},{"text":"1800s"},{"text":"IN-AND-OUT"}],"work_author":"Johannes Jelgerhuis","work_title":"The Shop of the Bookdealer Pieter Meijer Warnars on the Vijgendam in Amsterdam","work_year":"1820"},"-Lyhm6rzwFKFP79zBwu6":{"date":1579168595570,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_255.jpg?alt=media&token=590d95a8-fa11-41c1-b4c9-1f3da3642ffb","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"angela-dallinger"},{"text":"2011"},{"text":"2010s"},{"text":"illustration"},{"text":"cross-section-house"}],"work_author":"Angela Dalinger","work_year":"2011"},"-LyhmoB0KU1Sm22XFzjo":{"date":1579168777050,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_258.jpg?alt=media&token=e41eec0d-cb1a-4162-8129-28889758af2d","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"steven-holl"},{"text":"drawing"},{"text":"plan"},{"text":"1986"},{"text":"1980s"},{"text":"REPRESENTATION-OF-THE-ARCHITECTURAL-PROJECT"},{"text":"FRONTAL-PERSPECTIVE"}],"work_author":"Steven Holl","work_title":"Porta Vittoria, project, Milan, Italy, View at elliptical passage, perspective and plan","work_year":"1986"},"-Lyhpe-FTNr33Hg9FSgT":{"date":1579169521803,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fanalogies.jpg?alt=media&token=82e03691-0491-4de7-9dca-ab4d26a99357","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"-ANALOGIES-"}],"text":"Throughout history, the domestic space has been painted, drawn, sculpted, photographed, and written about.

the city–, and the universal stories of \"the masses of faceless migrants who underpin our globalised economy\". \n<br><br>\nThe chaotic appearance of the stacked chairs contrasts with the flatness of

In other occasions, they chaotically occupy labyrinthine arrangements of corridors and rooms, in an apparent effort to exhaust all the possibilities of conceivable placements of the objects (and people) in space.\n<br><br>\n<i>\"These works express the absurdity of contemporary society, that sort of daily madness necessary for everything to look normal.\"</i> Ferrari defended the need of art to be disruptive. His political views forced him to an exile in Sao Paulo in 1976, at the beginning of the Videla dictatorship that would continue until 1983.\n<br><br>\nIn the series Heliographies, the inhabitants of these imagined structures, masses of people undistinguishable one from another, are seemingly imprisoned in their day-to-day lives. They represent the many people whose ambivalence in the sight of injustice allowed the status quo to reign with terror.","work_author":"León Ferrari","work_title":"Heliographies","work_year":"1980s"},"-LzfE2RwJ25EgnEecR22":{"date":1580199589757,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_261.jpg?alt=media&token=9282f5ce-1367-45f4-a6b3-e569d27fa456","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"caruso-st-john"},{"text":"thomas-demand"},{"text":"installation"},{"text":"2010"},{"text":"2010s"},{"text":"OUT-OF-PLACE-OUT-OF-SCALE"}],"work_author":"Caruso St John + Thomas Demand","work_title":"Nagelhaus in the Venice Biennale","work_year":"2010"},"-LzfETfIxuhdH2BAF7un":{"date":1580199701269,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_laroche_01.jpg?alt=media&token=abaf174e-9957-4175-b090-dfce62b341ed","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_laroche_02.jpg?alt=media&token=a7dd9c67-f1bb-4894-8199-80d1951164a1","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_laroche_03.jpg?alt=media&token=e7911a06-a4c0-4407-a41f-193d2c3bf742","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_laroche_04.jpg?alt=media&token=f3b24a6b-018e-4893-9aae-7b77907fe9db","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_laroche_05.jpg?alt=media&token=80367681-efee-442e-aad0-2b8e754de1bc","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_laroche_06.jpg?alt=media&token=23496ef6-9ae1-46db-803d-776ff31022d1","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_laroche_07.jpg?alt=media&token=447b26c4-b9cd-49dd-a721-d42808f9576d","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_laroche_08.jpg?alt=media&token=ccad80bd-82a9-458b-9a9d-202d0b46914e","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_laroche_09.jpg?alt=media&token=649781a8-fefd-47d4-a590-4d769aab70f0","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_laroche_10.jpg?alt=media&token=16f237e8-bea2-44e6-9140-5b8242f1c7aa","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_laroche_11.jpg?alt=media&token=6cdc7cd6-7c63-4bf4-9968-8fd01ec7d0ee","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_laroche_12.jpg?alt=media&token=acce7bac-f4d3-4b7c-a28a-784b36b85fb9","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_laroche_13.jpg?alt=media&token=6109babe-bb2b-4312-833a-e5b048fc646a","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_laroche_14.jpg?alt=media&token=fa7615b0-3456-411e-b728-e8594942dd42","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_laroche_15.jpg?alt=media&token=d08407a2-8f7f-4061-bdc4-25abf5dbde3f","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_laroche_16.jpg?alt=media&token=8e53e2b8-a0f8-419c-9cb8-2b660fa584a4","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_laroche_17.jpg?alt=media&token=a6464e0a-10d4-41cb-8c5c-8b9ee8a5c129","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_laroche_18.jpg?alt=media&token=8971c1e6-1c04-49ff-9d63-89697bbdef4e","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"pia-melissa-laroche"},{"text":"2010s"},{"text":"drawing"},{"text":"ABSTRACT-CONSTRUCTION"},{"text":"AXONOMETRY"},{"text":"EXTERIOR-ROOM"}],"text":"Pia-Mélissa Laroche’s graphite illustrations portray open-air rooms carved on non-descript land.

About Les Hyper Demeures, Laroche has said:\n<br><br>\n<i>“Like the crypts of Christian Churches or Nabatean’s tombs, those architectural structures are directly carved in the ground. They impose themselves by subtraction to become indestructible and more than ever-steady. With an extreme durability, the ‘Hyper Demeures’ (Hyper-Residences) defies time and space. In an open-pit, arranged with furniture that is eternally anchored on the ground, they lend the viewers bizarre clues to the function of those enigmatic spaces.”</i>\n<br><br><br>\nPia-Mélissa Laroche’s <a href=\"https://piamelissalaroche.fr\" target=\"_blank\">website</a><br>\nMore on <a href=\"http://socks-studio.com/2017/12/27/pia-melissa-laroche-hyper-demeures-and-other-graphite-drawings/\" target=\"_blank\">Socks</a>","work_author":"Pia-Mélissa Laroche","work_title":"Drawings","work_year":"2010s"},"-LzpaDNeNuQ5rO8cve7J":{"date":1580373436010,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy002_00.jpg?alt=media&token=007b4d3c-8793-4670-817f-8545ae183650","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy002_01.jpg?alt=media&token=5689d738-a2b8-42de-8a54-37fbbd0fe24e","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy002_02.jpg?alt=media&token=fcf88938-51f9-459e-b3da-bf5906dc9489","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy002_03.jpg?alt=media&token=88ddb7fd-1a51-4e81-9334-d7dd3ccca0ae","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy002_04.jpg?alt=media&token=cbf77f12-0bda-4d51-a38b-01b918154b91","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy002_05.jpg?alt=media&token=8a394c00-4029-4ce9-8a3e-150096440156","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy002_06.jpg?alt=media&token=3a55aafb-31db-4135-ac0c-27675399b5e4","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy002_07.jpg?alt=media&token=f5fa6bbb-4742-4906-94fa-7e9c9f5c1bd6","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy002_08.jpg?alt=media&token=51017f1f-8588-4955-b6ae-dc5c0ded11a8","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy002_09.jpg?alt=media&token=439f5553-2c35-4a23-9f53-683a8f71f970","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy002_10.jpg?alt=media&token=d0f4213c-d443-4773-bb72-f862375d0c89","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy002_11.jpg?alt=media&token=3d4e5627-d67a-4a71-82eb-3a2ddcbc11e7","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy002_12.jpg?alt=media&token=7ffbbd21-2946-417c-a566-17d975981932","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy002_13.jpg?alt=media&token=f27861c2-136a-4a0f-a19d-c88a194ca8ab","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy002_14.jpg?alt=media&token=ad653088-2a18-4275-b7c0-b096cbc17350","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy002_15.jpg?alt=media&token=d191af32-700f-4971-af28-f101f16f1c9d","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy002_16.jpg?alt=media&token=b805110c-04c9-4ee9-b1aa-ce81ece48cbd","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy002_17.jpg?alt=media&token=68e5b1ef-8880-4370-ae8a-06950ec442aa","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"-ANALOGIES-"},{"text":"georges-perec"},{"text":"olafur-eliasson"},{"text":"DEFINITION-OF-A-ROOM"},{"text":"MATERIALITY"},{"text":"A-PARTICULAR-POINT-OF-VIEW"}],"text":"<a href=\"https://aseriesofrooms.com/#/asset/-KhhAjqYU4M2931FCPGj\" target=\"_blank\">Georges Perec, La Vie mode d’emploi, 1978 </a> +  <a href=\"https://aseriesofrooms.com/#/asset/-L5hTXmMDAlo7GnbjzmJ\" target=\"_blank\">Olafur Eliasson, Your House, 2006</a>\n<br><br>\nIn 1978, Georges Perec published “La Vie mode d’emploi”, a novel in which every room of a Parisian apartment block is meticulously described. With one room per chapter, and as many chapters in the book as rooms in the house, Georges Perec creates a puzzle (in more ways than one), a game of sorts, in which the house is cut through with (literary) analytical precision. \n<br><br>\nIn 2006, Olafur Eliasson 3d-scanned his house in Copenhagen and turned it into a 908-pages book. At a scale of 1:85, each one of the 454 leaves represents a 2,2 cm cut of the actual house. Each of the rooms is cut out of the paper, while the construction methods that sustain it and the immediate surroundings of the house are left blank. The resulting piece works as a combination of traditionally constructed models and drawn plans.\n<br><br>\nEven if their ways of surveying the domestic space are quite different –in one case the detail is in the precision of the dimensions of the rooms, in the other it’s about the atmosphere conveyed by the life of their users and their belongings–, with every turn of a page, a little more of each of the houses is discovered.","title":"Analogy

S. Harsha, We Come, We Eat, We Sleep, 2000  -  Hans Dieter Schaal, Bed Landscape, 1970s\n<br><br>\nA series of beds, put one next to the other in an orderly fashion, and in various states of disarray, define both works presented here. These fields of beds placed in a grid have a strong visual impact that defines the overall composition, and yet the similarities between the works stop there.\n<br><br>\nIn N. S. Harsha's case, the painting is part of the triptych \"We Come, We Eat, We Sleep\", in which the artist depicts an undetermined number of people going on with daily activities. The focus here is put on the people sleeping. Their faces are visible and reveal age and gender, each one of them is clothed differently, even when all are dressed in white. Personal objects appear here and there. They are all covered in one continuous, translucent piece of fabric, which turns around when reaches the end of a row. We are not shown this, but it is clear that reaching one of the central beds would imply stepping on others, as they are all together. \n<br><br>\nHans Dieter Schaal’s work has to be framed within the context of a series of drawings the architect/designer/writer/artist produced in the 1970s , in which he proposes an approximation to his research on the idea of continuous space. Much more conceptual than the work of Harsha, the focus is put on the stripes of beds, separated by narrow corridors. The sleepers are only intuited under heavy, individual duvets. On one side and the other, there is no ending in sight; the stripes could go on forever.\n<br><br>\nSchaal has said that he is “into abstract images that pose more questions and puzzles that they provide answers”. On the other side, Harsha’s paintings delve into what unite us as human beings.","title":"Analogy 003"},"-M071aNHs5SE4hVBwu_J":{"date":1581756606040,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_264.jpg?alt=media&token=94f878cc-e8d0-4954-a0ed-02ea09c3288a","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"olof-rudbeck"},{"text":"woodcut"},{"text":"1679"},{"text":"1600s"},{"text":"cross-section-house"},{"text":"FRONTAL-PERSPECTIVE"}],"text":"Illustration from Atland eller Manheim (Atlantica)","work_author":"Olof Rudbeck the Elder","work_title":"The Anatomical Theatre in Gustavianum","work_year":"1679"},"-M0HU1DVYa3IVS6x1jZq":{"date":1581931832301,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_263.jpg?alt=media&token=5616bb7d-fe67-4062-bd71-61d8a2a448b3","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"advertising"},{"text":"2005"},{"text":"2000s"},{"text":"photography"},{"text":"HOMAGE"},{"text":"PEOPLE-GET-TOGETHER"}],"text":"Probably no other work of art has been a greater source of inspiration than Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper. The biblical scene of Jesus' last meal was a common theme in classical painting, but none of the other iterations achieved the iconic status of da Vinci's.\n<br><br>\nAnd of all of the copies, parodies, and homages, Marithé + François Girbaud's image for its 2005 campaign proved to be the post controversial. The company stated it was a tribute to women, judges ruled it was “a gratuitous and aggressive act of intrusion of people’s innermost beliefs”, and the ad was subsequently banned from billboards in Milan, home to the fresco, and then also in Paris.\n<br><br>\nOne of the main issues seemed to be that all but one of the characters of the scene were women. This was inspired by Dan Brown’s the “The Da Vinci Code” (back then at the height of its popularity), in which it was suggested that the figure of John the Baptist was in fact Mary Magdalen in disguise.\n<br><br>\nWhile the debate appeared to be based on the fact that religious symbols were being used for commercial ends, the underlying problem might have been that it accepted the

for the last few years in between the threat of imminent demolition and a vigorous movement advocating for its preservation, Kisho Kurokawa's Nakagin Capsule Tower languishes in the middle of Tokyo. 140 stacked capsules of 10m2 each define the external appearance of the building, one of the last remaining structures of Japanese Metabolism. It was completed in 1972 in just 30 days: a built experiment on the possibilities of mass production and flexible systems in the construction of housing.\n<br><br>\nNicolai Ouroussoff wrote in 2009 about it: \"For many of us who believe that the way we treat our cultural patrimony is a fair measure of how enlightened we are as a society, the building’s demolition would be a bitter loss. The Capsule Tower is not only gorgeous architecture; like all great buildings, it is the crystallization of a far-reaching cultural ideal. Its existence also stands as a powerful reminder of paths not taken, of the possibility of worlds shaped by different sets of values.\"\n<br><br>\nIn his photographic series 1972, Noritaka Minami portrays the current state of the building. The repetitive frontal shots of the capsules' interiors, with their characteristic circular windows, show us the different conditions of inhabitation of the spaces: from the absolute ruin to the lived-in nest.","work_author":"Noritaka Minami","work_title":"1972.

During that time, he wrote the manuscript for “Voyage autour de ma chambre”, an observation on the domestic space of his confinement, but also a parody of the popular travel journals of the eighteenth century.\n<br><br>\n<i>“My room is situated in latitude 48º east, according to the measurement of Father Beccaria. It lies east and west, and if you keep very close to the wall, forms a parallelogram of thirty-six steps round. My journey will, however, be longer than this; for I shall traverse my room up and down and across, without rule or plan. I shall even zig-zag about, following, if needs be, every possible geometrical line.”</i>\n<br><br>\nHe writes both about the physical realm of the room and the metaphysics of the soul. Each painting and engraving hanging on the wall hides a story to be told. But he ranks the mirror higher: <i>“A mirror offers to the sedentary traveller a thousand interesting reflections, a thousand observations which render it at once a useful and precious article.”</i> He narrates the encounters with people he has met and the books he has read (and now re-reads): <i>“I should never end if I tried to describe a thousandth part of the strange events I meet when I travel my library.”</i>\n<br><br>\nIn the last chapter of the book, he finally recovers the liberty to set a foot outside the house, but wonders if he was ever not free.\n<br><br>\n…\n<br><br>\nIn her series of collages “Off the Map”, artist Zsofia Schweger explores the concept of a journey that is at once limited by the physical walls of her own room, and at the same time capable of spanning the entirety of the world.\n<br><br>\nPairing a room (reduced to a series of shapes) with maps (which are, in the end, an abstraction of places turned into lines and words), Schweger creates postcard-sized collages infused with the vibrant colours of places known and unknown.\n<br><br>\nEach of the three series repeats a particular point of view, but each of the individual works depicts a different journey and a different story.\n<br><br>\nIn her own words:<i>\n“Believing that being at home was newsworthy, I set out to create postcards made of old historical world maps. (…) Despite the collages’ modest size, with fractions of the maps clearly preserved and readable, I aimed to indicate scale, distance, and depth: an image of a room could contain the whole world.”</i>\n<br><br>\n…\n<br><br>\nThe ability to imagine a whole world inside one’s room and to travel far away from within the limits of the domestic space defines the works presented here. Ugo La Pietra says “Inhabiting is being everywhere in your own home”, while Saul Steinberg transforms a cupboard into a skyscraper, thus re-imagining the room as a scaled down New York City.<br><br>\nBlaise Pascal wrote, around 1670, that “all of humanity’s problems stem from man’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone”. Never has this been truer than now, when the most selfless act of community solidarity is to stay home.<br><br>\n\nAt the same time, the current moment of obligatory domestic confinement coincides with the peak of virtual connectivity and the possibility to travel far away. It is no coincidence that the words used to describe the act of spending time online refer to acts of traveling, with “navigating” or “sailing” used in Spanish, Italian, or Portuguese, and “surfing” used in French, German, and English. From the start, the net was seen as an amorphous, fluid mass, and exploring it was a way of non-physical wander.\n<br><br><br>\n\n\nThe whole book by Xavier de Maistre is available <a href=\"https://archive.org/details/ajourneyroundmy01attwgoog/page/n7/mode/2up\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>\n<br>\nMore images of Zsofia Schweger’s Off The Map series <a href=\"https://aseriesofrooms.com/#/asset/-L6wi_xToh142i0Qntes\n\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>","title":"Analogy 005"},"-M3BAf0Xnaj6ShS0tz7D":{"date":1585047318681,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy006_00.jpg?alt=media&token=5ef99fa4-d722-4763-9285-178a8ede45db","year":""},{"author":"Hendrik van Steenwyck II","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy006_01.jpg?alt=media&token=cdfd4c30-0b3e-44d6-91af-b1edc631bb74","year":"1630"},{"author":"Antonello da Messina","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy006_02.jpg?alt=media&token=d37a35cf-ecd5-4149-b8b5-c97c37d91422","year":"ca. 1475"},{"author":"Johann Theodor de Bry","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy006_03.jpg?alt=media&token=9b5abc6c-baf9-43a6-928c-26dd8bac58c1","year":"ca. 1580-1600"},{"author":"Lucas Cranach the Elder","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy006_04.jpg?alt=media&token=e3a7a38e-2379-4171-86f1-25e5413d5a1d","year":"1526"},{"author":"Albrecht Dürer","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy006_05.jpg?alt=media&token=cf2eebeb-1fcf-46c3-8bd5-0349dc43a926","year":"1492"},{"author":"Pedro García de Benabarre","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy006_06.jpg?alt=media&token=b1b14371-0e62-4b05-adfb-7f9117e5ef71","year":"ca.1480"},{"author":"Albrecht Dürer","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy006_07.jpg?alt=media&token=1c59eabc-5f08-4470-8bbf-1224661421be","year":"1514"},{"author":"Vincenzo Catena","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy006_08.jpg?alt=media&token=9dff6383-e067-4397-8a65-0afdd71ca645","year":"1510"},{"author":"Jan van Eyck","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy006_09.jpg?alt=media&token=719d7d02-78e6-4d0a-ab6e-7aeb36131565","year":"1435"}],"tags":[{"text":"-ANALOGIES-"},{"text":"hendrik-van-steenwyck"},{"text":"antonello-da-messina"},{"text":"johann-theodor-de-bry"},{"text":"lucas-cranach-the-elder"},{"text":"albrecht-dürer"},{"text":"pedro-garcia-de-benabarre"},{"text":"vincenzo-catena"},{"text":"jan-van-eyck"},{"text":"PORTRAIT-OF-THE-INHABITANT(S)"},{"text":"ANIMALISTIC"}],"text":"St Jerome in his Study\n<br><br>\nJerome is best known as the translator of the bible to Latin, which made him the patron saint of humanists.

part of a larger exploration around the history of Carthusian architecture and in the context of 2019’s Lisbon Architecture Triennale, a group of architects and teachers of UIC-SOA in Chicago (Jimmy Carter, Abigail Chang, Francesco Marullo, and Agata Siemionow) reflected on the idea of the monastic cell as a type, and its possible translation to contemporaneity.\n<br><br>\nWhile the Carthusian cell was originally conceived as a space of voluntary withdrawal, the later transformation of the concept into a place of imposed confinement, such as in prisons, distorted its intention.\n<br><br>\nBoth have in common the aggregation of individual units subordinated to a collective whole, but while the first is understood as a “mental condition: a desert” in which “its constrained space embraces the vast extensions of a journey”, the prison cell is fundamentally a cage in which its inhabitant is under constant surveillance. \n<br><br>\nFor their intervention in the Cartuxa de Laveiras, the authors built a temporary structure projected to reinterpret the cell as a refuge:\n<br><br>\n“The cell provides a space of solitude in which a form of life can be conducted under constant thought, without distractions and away from temptations. In the cell, nothing is superfluous: every single object, space, or ritual performed is necessary to the Carthusian monk for the journey of awakening. (…) In contemporary condition wherein maximum integration generates maximum alienation, a rudimental practice of asceticism offers both a strategy of resistance and an antidote against collective hypnosis, social bonds, and constructed farces and behaviours.”\n<br><br><br>\nAll quotes and images are from the authors’ research, hopefully to be developed as a book soon.<br>\nPhotographs of the installation are by Ibai Rigby","work_title":"A Certain Kind of Life","work_year":"2019"},"-M436uG6TrDx56TPgnie":{"date":1585985856610,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_domenec_01.jpg?alt=media&token=c1955782-7b97-45f2-84b0-315a496501e3","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_domenec_02.jpg?alt=media&token=dc900f51-08d2-426a-b74f-9429b27a0fb5","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_domenec_03.jpg?alt=media&token=67a8ac7c-e490-4166-b094-85014829410a","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_domenec_04.jpg?alt=media&token=fdcffce5-f8b9-4abb-8b32-0dab45185e9f","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_domenec_05.jpg?alt=media&token=b0936237-c34e-45a2-b955-0082e7c0bd81","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"domenec"},{"text":"installation"},{"text":"sculpture"},{"text":"2010s"},{"text":"ABSTRACT-CONSTRUCTION"},{"text":"OUT-OF-PLACE-OUT-OF-SCALE"}],"text":"“Conversation Piece” was a term created during the 18th century to describe a genre of paintings in which an informal group of people were engaged in a conversation, often in a domestic setting. Later on, the expression started to be used as a way to define any thing that became a topic of discussion because of some unusual quality.\n<br><br>\nIn his series of works of the same name, Domènec produces models of social housing buildings. In the case of Narkomfin or Casa Bloc, they are placed on top of Formica chairs, as bridges connecting them. Les Minguettes is transformed into a set of benches creating a meeting space. By reducing large buildings to objects the size of furniture, Domènec creates a space in which a classic “conversation piece” could happen, while at the same time provoking that said conversation is about the pieces themselves, and what they represent.\n<br><br>\nAll of them are, in a way, failed utopias. Based on Charles Fourier's phalanstère, Soviet architects proposed new ways of living in collectively, of which the Narkomfin in Moscow is probably the most paradigmatic example. Despite its international success, with architects from all around Europe travelling to the URSS to visit them, Stalinism soon aborted this kind of construction.\n.\nLe Corbusier was one of those visitors, and projected the Unité d'habitation influenced by what he saw. So did the architects of GATCPAC while they were working on the social housing project of Casa Bloc, built during the short-lived Republic of the 1930s, and transformed into housing for the military forces soon after the war.\n<br><br>\nLes Minguettes, near Lyon, was built later, during the 1960s. It was one of the many social housing estates to be born after the Charte d'Athènes, in which a new kind of urbanism was proclaimed. Decades after, many of those projects had transformed into marginalised areas. Les Minguettes in particular became the starting point of a political protest movement that later spread across the country. As a response, and in an effort to improve the conditions of its inhabitants, the government demolished part of the complex, which is the part now modelled by Domènec.","work_author":"Domènec","work_title":"Conversation Piece","work_year":"2010s"},"-M4ITmX1te6yqNDpLr56":{"date":1586243512530,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_269.jpg?alt=media&token=aead8c11-176e-4032-9e29-126ffbb0cea0","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"claude-strebelle"},{"text":"1971"},{"text":"1970s"},{"text":"EXTERIOR-ROOM"}],"work_author":"Claude Strebelle","work_title":"Roof of STARESO","work_year":"1971"},"-M4xE97p0t0aLxiqQc7k":{"date":1586944057969,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ljunggren_01.jpg?alt=media&token=a78eeb31-ea4d-4739-80ef-9e9c84628959","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ljunggren_02.jpg?alt=media&token=a03d8185-13e3-4acf-a7f2-480b261682f4","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ljunggren_03.jpg?alt=media&token=fd48501a-a387-4dc9-8c9c-dc59303af160","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ljunggren_04.jpg?alt=media&token=522922c5-71ee-4ab0-8cdb-6d8d39e2d11e","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ljunggren_05.jpg?alt=media&token=82c01e85-4176-47a5-b520-0fd1f78a24ce","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ljunggren_06.jpg?alt=media&token=fab05544-4ac4-429d-9055-86f16afa6c7b","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ljunggren_07.jpg?alt=media&token=7d2b73f1-4224-44bd-a360-660e6cdd318b","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ljunggren_08.jpg?alt=media&token=3de8ba42-a48b-4dbb-9211-09935ef6414e","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ljunggren_09.jpg?alt=media&token=e82148b4-4db2-43eb-8ed6-fa8b606268ee","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ljunggren_10.jpg?alt=media&token=47f73aa2-dd82-4870-89b7-1a6f56cb56c8","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ljunggren_11.jpg?alt=media&token=eb7e6cab-d42d-4c34-ba9a-714f58ff1d69","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ljunggren_12.jpg?alt=media&token=da7d8aa4-6cea-4801-8b64-963681215893","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ljunggren_13.jpg?alt=media&token=e83978ca-0344-4240-9f14-309c8c7b30e8","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ljunggren_14.jpg?alt=media&token=eeeb8952-22f1-4931-a0bb-16a3c8502715","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ljunggren_15.jpg?alt=media&token=091588e5-33f2-4fbb-bbc0-cbe1f04b20c0","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ljunggren_16.jpg?alt=media&token=9d36d2f9-639b-4fc9-ae9f-3007c369751b","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ljunggren_17.jpg?alt=media&token=be65eeea-7861-4b7d-85c3-1feb34dfa5d0","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ljunggren_18.jpg?alt=media&token=f3e1e444-316b-4799-8031-2e9764e6ab6e","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ljunggren_19.jpg?alt=media&token=97babff2-cef2-4fa5-a6c5-715a2b38497e","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"reinhold-ljunggren"},{"text":"painting"},{"text":"engraving"},{"text":"EVERYDAY-LIFE"},{"text":"IN-AND-OUT"},{"text":"EXTERIOR-ROOM"}],"text":"Reinhold Ljunggren’s works depict casual moments with intimate realism.

Stuck at home, away from the training centre, the members of the (in this case, Spanish) national team have in fact turned their living rooms into swimming pools, except for the water: they practice their synchronization exercises with the rest of their team members via Zoom app.\n<br><br>\nWhile Matisse's figures ethereally floated in the perimeter of a room, these contemporary athletes have their fellow colleagues confined, yet again, to the size of a screen.

The farther away, the more blurred.\n<br><br>\nWhile the first of these pieces were installed in open, urban spaces, such as Parco Sempione in Milano, the act of placing them inside of buildings gave the works a new way of engaging with landmark architecture: a space within a space, and the contrast between centuries old stones and the modernity of plastic.","work_author":"Franco Mazzucchelli","work_title":"Riapproprizione","work_year":"1975-2017"},"-M6Z9vKU4oHx2CtUAm9Y":{"date":1588671002018,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_edo_01.jpg?alt=media&token=b172885a-b8b2-459b-8b7f-d5b7383f367a","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_edo_02.jpg?alt=media&token=d23c584d-7579-472a-a344-d5702d8f218d","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_edo_03.jpg?alt=media&token=ff3f53d5-58f9-46b8-8cc5-e6446a2a83a0","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_edo_04.jpg?alt=media&token=0abe12b9-3476-4c9b-8961-97ecdc36ccc0","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_edo_05.jpg?alt=media&token=9a46d1d8-b7e3-4399-995b-6927aa13c97b","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_edo_06.jpg?alt=media&token=c94c7524-828e-4bc5-9bce-6959bfb0b131","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_edo_07.jpg?alt=media&token=abec5f7e-a713-4e30-81c7-3dc588c9387c","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_edo_08.jpg?alt=media&token=9f74e531-dd25-488b-81f8-d06a1cfa99c2","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_edo_09.jpg?alt=media&token=b9207b15-b1ef-4b1b-ada9-01740d71e5ce","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_edo_10.jpg?alt=media&token=6194c1a2-9bea-45d4-a45d-c2ad21f66915","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_edo_11.jpg?alt=media&token=cb9a82d1-7463-4deb-bcb5-99356eca651b","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_edo_12.jpg?alt=media&token=3a7de16e-f163-4283-a9e6-2f3a22f490f1","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_edo_13.jpg?alt=media&token=0f64e0cd-5b7e-4c8d-b02d-b55b5798add3","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_edo_14.jpg?alt=media&token=326d2805-ca2e-48e0-a539-ea144d0ddb87","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_edo_15.jpg?alt=media&token=0db235a8-a1a2-459c-aa88-237663354bc9","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_edo_16.jpg?alt=media&token=2ddb67e3-7bb5-46a0-8c03-dbba2630b409","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_edo_17.jpg?alt=media&token=a0a944c2-ec1a-4d4b-8a22-1a59a2137285","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_edo_18.jpg?alt=media&token=562e4417-1e9d-495e-89e8-fc95e72a4268","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_edo_19.jpg?alt=media&token=f0f49323-8b03-4c90-96d2-939aa6f8bcae","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_edo_20.jpg?alt=media&token=838c4eb4-367c-4127-a7c5-42ee5d5c6f63","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"1700s"},{"text":"painting"},{"text":"furniture"},{"text":"COLOR"},{"text":"PEOPLE-GET-TOGETHER"},{"text":"IN-AND-OUT"}],"text":"After decades of civil wars, the Edo period (1600-1867) marks the financial recovery of the imperial city of Kyoto.

The house was vastly published at the moment and continues to appear in architectural guides of the city in its original state. \n<br><br>\nBut this \"architectural ideal\" only physically existed as such for a very short period of time. Its original client went bankrupt and sold the house soon after its completion, and the new owners started modifying its physical appearance and internal configuration almost immediately.\n<br><br>\nIn the context of the project \"Artists in Architecture: Re-Activating Modern European House\", Irish artist and architect Ben Weir's intervention focused on the alterations, rather than on the house itself. A series of 1:10 models reproduce fragments of the building where the most important modifications have occurred, and their immediate context. Each one of the five pieces works both as an individual sculptural object and as a part of an ensemble.\n<br><br>\n\"The models intend to prompt dialogue on the alterations, their inherent qualities and value. Are they useful, appropriate or necessary? If we accept that change is not only necessary, but desirable, how do we view these seemingly unsympathetic alterations? (...) It's this idea of collaboration. That architecture as a practice is not just about defining spatial and material relationships; between objects, people, program... It's about how these relationships also occur through time, through the collision of different intentions, ideologies, power structures and socio economic forces. But it's also about finding a language in the existing situation and responding to that.\"\n<br><br>\nFragment of Weir's lecture \"Casa Vilaró: A Caress and a Blow\", which you can watch <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSYNlHYgsFk&feature=youtu.be\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>\n<br>\nMore of Ben Weir's work <a href=\"http://benweir.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>\n<br>\nMore on \"Artists in Architecture: Re-Activating Modern European House\" <a href=\"https://miesbcn.com/project/artists-in-architecture-re-activating-modern-european-houses/\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>\n<br><br>\nPhotographs of the models by José Hevia","work_author":"Ben Weir","work_title":"Casa Vilaró Project","work_year":"2019"},"-M7gMoZfA3NzC2euJAyl":{"date":1589882341718,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_243.jpg?alt=media&token=ca1d76b9-9d71-4824-9636-985ac40d9043","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"willem-cornelisz-duyster"},{"text":"pieter-willemsz-van-der-stock"},{"text":"painting"},{"text":"1600s"},{"text":"PATTERN"}],"work_author":"Willem Cornelisz Duyster and Pieter Willemsz. van der Stock","work_title":"Elegant Figures in a Classical Colonnaded Gallery","work_year":"ca. 1632"},"-M7gOGC_dor0PZtfii4B":{"date":1589882721193,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_272.jpg?alt=media&token=638d89d5-745e-4878-9ed8-d9dba67b6fe0","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"javier-jaén"},{"text":"2015"},{"text":"2010s"},{"text":"visualization"},{"text":"OUT-OF-PLACE-OUT-OF-SCALE"}],"work_author":"Javier Jaén","work_title":"Mindfulness","work_year":"2015"},"-M7gPtOfloGQ93DwhUVN":{"date":1589883147944,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_jdgraham_01.jpg?alt=media&token=8f0cd759-affc-4bda-aaa0-b2eb37839c6e","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_jdgraham_02.jpg?alt=media&token=837da1d2-a6b1-4e57-95ab-49329cf47474","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"john-d-graham"},{"text":"hans-vreedeman-de-vries"},{"text":"1928"},{"text":"1920s"},{"text":"1600s"},{"text":"painting"},{"text":"HOMAGE"},{"text":"FRONTAL-PERSPECTIVE"}],"text":"John D.

The sets depict seemingly standard spaces, often interiors painted in monochrome, in which a series of repeated objects or animals create optical illusions and surreal atmospheres. \n<br><br>\nHer first works of the series took domestic objects such as hangers, spoons or dishes and arranged them in patterned dispositions. In the early 1980s she started introducing animal replicas in her tableaux, which stand out of the foreground painted in bright colours. A series of green radioactive cats seem to have invaded a grey, dull kitchen. And red goldfish floating in a space rendered in blue transform a bedroom in a dreamlike scene under the sea. Later works put the spotlight in junk food, with all of the surfaces of a room, the objects it contains and the human figures covered in bacon or cheese doodles.\n<br><br>\n\"Behind the manic, matching props and the optical buzz of careful calibrated color coordination lie more subtle, somber messages. Skoglund almost challenges her audience to wade through the distraction of surface patterns and to accustom themselves to the visual din to get to the essence of the work. And for those who do, something odd happens. A surprising calm settles over the works hyperactivity. And Skoglund's lower-keyed, but more powerful juxtapositions and contradictions emerge: humor co-exists with anxiety, the human with the animal world, and the banal with the apocalyptic.<br>\n(...) Control lies at the core of Skoglund's work. Each project presents new challenges –the learning curve to master idiosyncratic materials, the logistics of mass production, long stretches of repetitive work, and repeated tests of willpower. From the conception of projects through extended periods of labor-intensive, factory-like production, to the final installation and photography, nothing is left to chance.<br>\n(...) Harnessing her skill and determination to create images for a world in which logic no longer rules, Skoglund aligns herself with artists and writers whose subject matter is the irrationality of modern life. Sigmund Freud, in a 1919 essay, \"The Uncanny\", was the first to describe the unsettling response one feels when confronted with situations that are simultaneously both familiar and strange, that trigger a kind of amazement, a sense of shock, and a thrill.\"<br><br>\nFragment of <a href=\"http://www.sandyskoglund.com/pages/published/pages_publish/marvin2.html\" target=\"_blank\">an essay</a>

Downey's first act of disruption in the public space came when, at 17 and after being expelled from school, he took the \"S\" out of the \"Shell\" sign in the local gas station. He has made a career out of temporary urban transformations, from small acts to increasingly larger commissions.\n<br><br>\nIn 2014 and in collaboration with fellow street art artist AKAY, he temporarily upended the life of a hotel near Girona when he emptied the building of its furniture and objects and rearranged them in the lands around it: a small football field was covered in fabric, the tennis court was occupied with more than one hundred chairs, and dishes floated as confetti on the swimming pool. The most interesting intervention, though, was the repositioning of the hotel's 23 beds in a line that crossed over neighbouring fields. The gentle slopes of the hills and the softness of the beds offer a dreamlike atmosphere in which it appears one can hop from one bed to the next with an unknown destination.\n<br><br><br>\nMore works by the artist <a href=\"https://visualdiplomacyusa.blogspot.com/2018/04/artist-of-day-april-4-brad-downey.html\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>","work_author":"Brad Downey in collaboration with AKAY","work_title":"Hotel L'Era de Can Burguès","work_year":"2014"},"-MCv0qTul3Qsm1lAZOTx":{"date":1595496949753,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_285.jpg?alt=media&token=7a297ecd-0d23-45a7-9622-466839f74988","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_285_2.jpg?alt=media&token=f956b7f6-a1ea-42c6-9306-fca37b97fd5c","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_285_3.jpg?alt=media&token=3d962122-e8fd-41ad-a2d8-ec5d449184d0","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_285_4.jpg?alt=media&token=8a6cd75e-f01a-48f0-a2ba-a29391f400a4","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_285_5.jpg?alt=media&token=63d78c93-cab3-40e5-8e18-c245c9a60a13","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"vlastimil-beneš"},{"text":"1966"},{"text":"1960s"},{"text":"painting"},{"text":"IN-AND-OUT"},{"text":"EXTERIOR-ROOM"}],"work_author":"Vlastimil Beneš","work_title":"Venice","work_year":"1966"},"-MD3cIAWH8CHcXDWeRq8":{"date":1595658023748,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_286.jpg?alt=media&token=bfa05a58-4fd4-4d09-bf28-a71efae6d071","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"jannis-kounellis"},{"text":"installation"},{"text":"1975"},{"text":"1970s"},{"text":"MATERIALITY"},{"text":"COLOR"},{"text":"THINGS-THINGS-THINGS"},{"text":"ABSTRACT-CONSTRUCTION"}],"text":"\"Jannis Kounellis’ epochal work “Tragedia civile” from 1975 received much attention at the documenta 7 in 1982.

Spirovski has said that she is \"naturally drawn to disparate elements of art history\", and feels \"compelled to combine them in unexpected ways\". Her paintings blend pictorial techniques and a multitude of styles and references into compositions that reveal the tension between space and object, \"creating a juxtaposition of movement and stillness that forms an unsettling effect, evoking a surreal and dreamlike quality\".\n<br><br>\nTwo main series of works reflect on this subject. The first portrays quasi-abstract, minimal spaces in earthy tones, occupied by a variety of increasingly distorted figures in movement, from human beings, to raging bulls and swans. Some ordinary pieces of furniture sometimes appear, as if to give a sense of normalcy in the middle of the chaos.\n<br><br>\nThe second series uses spaces as the background for portraits. Even if the structure of the painting can be considered more classical, Spirovski continues to contrast different techniques that go from the photorealist to the simple sketch.","work_author":"Loribelle

Rooms\n<br><br>\n<i>\"Type and typography have the same etymology, from the Greek typos, meaning figure or impression. In both architecture and typography, type denotes a cataloguing system by which elements that have different forms or functions can be differentiated.\"</i><br>- Hugh McEwen, Polyglot Buildings\n<br><br>\nThere are millions of buildings around the world shaped like \"L\"s, \"T\"s, \"I\"s, \"O\"s, \"U\"s, or even \"S\"s. The similitude between their floor plan and any given letter is rarely anything more than a coincidence; their layouts are a consequence of urban and environmental causes that have nothing to do with typography.\n<br><br>\nThroughout history, however, a series of architects and non-architects have imagined constructions based on the different letters of the (in this case, Latin) alphabet. None of those shown here have actually been built. Their existence responds to an exploration of the relationship between typology and alphabetical form.\n<br><br>\nIn 1773, German architect Johann David Steingruber published \" Architektonisches Alphabeth\", a compendium of palaces, monasteries and chapels, with all of their rooms inscribed into the contours of letters. Not only did he project them in floor plan, he also imagined how they would look in their main elevation, in a style influenced by the French baroque.\n<br><br>\nWith a similar spirit to that of Steingruber, BCH Office offers a contemporary approach to the building within the letter theme. Instead of a book, the result is an Instagram account: @_a_b_c_h_<br>\nBehind the account is Stéphane Bauche, who told us that as an architect based in Paris, he has often worked in dwelling projects, the shape of which is dictated by city regulations. He sees this theoretical project as a criticism to the speculative task of putting as many housing units within an obligatory shape.\n<br><br>\nWhen Esiete were tasked with creating a graphic identity for Arquinfad (organizers of the FAD Architecture Prizes), they created a special typography that turned each letter of the alphabet into a room or small set of rooms. Contrary to the previous examples, the work is more graphical than architectural: the repeated symbols of doors suggest that the rest of the lines must therefore be walls, with other openings functioning as windows. \n<br><br>\nFor Alphabet City, artist Scott Teplin imagined 26 dream houses within 26 letters. Instead of the floor plan, the drawings show the dwellings in comic-style axonometrics. The rooms in 3d show detailed settings that go from the standard everyday to the increasingly bizarre.\n<br><br><br>\nIn all of these cases, full alphabets were created. There are, however, other many examples of works of art and architecture that explore the relationship between the letter and the building in a not so exhaustive manner.\n<br><br>\nAround the same time Steingruber did his Architectural Alphabet, architects John Thorpe, Thomas Gobert, and Anton Glonner all used letters as the basis of some their projects. In John Thorpe’s case, it was his own initials for a residence at some point during the 1600s. Thomas Gobert imagined a series of churches that, put together, would read “LOVIS LE GRAND” in homage to Louis XIV, king of France. To maintain a canonical symmetry, some of the letters were mirrored, which made the legibility of the characters somewhat complicated. Some decades later, already in the 1700s, Anton Glonner used the initials of the Jesuit College (IHS) as the basis of his design, with the H including a Christian cross on top.\n<br><br>\nIt seems plausible that none of them knew the work of one another, but their intentions can be sum up in this part of the text of Steingruber’s book: \n<br><br>\n<i>“It should not be unseemly and impossible in laying out a building belonging to a great lord for the name of the patron to be brought into the ground plan.”</i>\n<br><br><br>\nCollage artist Lola Dupré has also explored the relationship between architecture and typography in four collages of buildings modelled after the letters a, B, C, and D. While in the cases seen until now the viewer would only perceive the letter shape if seen from above, in Dupré’s work the buildings are readable in an elevation form. Dupré describes the project as follows:\n<br><br>\n<i>“A personal project experimenting with typography. a B C D explores the relationships between memory and reading, the phenomena of precognitive interpretation of words and letters.”</i>\n<br><br><br>\nBritish artist Paul Noble has created not only a few buildings, but a whole city for his work “Nobson Newtown”. A series of large-scale pencil drawings reveal different parts of the city, in which every building is modelled after a three-dimensional letter or set of letters. In most cases, the words created remain almost unreadable, but the characteristic typologies provide the town with an urban language all of its own.\n<br><br>\n<i>“Drawing image after image, story after story—at once architect and town planner, archeologist and cartographer, social historian and activist, creator and destroyer—over the course of a decade Noble invented and described a melancholy urban vision somewhere between Claude-Nicolas Ledoux’s revolutionary utopias, SimCity, and the postapocalyptic wastelands pictured in the daily media.”</i> (From Gagosian’s profile of the artist)\n<br><br><br>\nThe style of the axonometric letters in Noble’s invented town is somewhat similar to the drawing Steven Holl created for the cover of the Pamphlet Architecture #5 issue. The abstract extrusions of letters relate to the content inside, in which, under the name of “Alphabetical City”, Holl explored the twentieth-century urban fabric of American cities and the recurrence of buildings shaped as letters. In this case, Holl observes rather than creates, and in doing so, he catalogues some of these millions of buildings unintentionally modelled after typographical characters.\n<br><br>\nCurrent technology has made it a lot easier to observe the world from above and find, all around the world, many examples of both architecture and nature engaged in typographical experiments.

Saul Steinberg drew it for the cover of 'The New Yorker' in 1987 and Edward Tufte (a professor of political science, statistics, and computer science in Yale) took the concept to another level by defining self-promoting graphics where style is more important than the actual information they display as 'Big Duck' in his work 'Chartjunk'.\n<br><br>\nOver the years and with the decline of duck farming, the building was moved around different sites in Suffolk County and was at the verge of destruction several times. The fact that it is still standing is probably a testament of its importance in popular culture and the symbolism of its own symbolic nature.\n<br><br><br><br>\nMore info: <br>\non <a

As a result, the figures are most often sculpted in a position of enduring pain.\n<br><br>\nTheir female counterparts, the 'Caryatids', are normally portrayed in a much less suffering expression, with stoic faces and their bodies standing up straight, but in the vague story of the origin of their name stands another lost war, that of the city of Karyae. which betrayed Athens in the Greco-Persian wars, and whose women were afterwards condemned to slavery.\n<br><br>\nIn the first two images shown here, the human body is similarly used to create a space, but the resemblance stops there.

One is the choice of correct proportions; the other is the material used. More specifically, the effect of the wall surface on the retina. The mechanics of perception are very complex. We do not focus attention on individual factors and then join them together to form an overall image, but rather perception consists of the general effect of the object on the one hand, and of light, the surroundings, and the observers view point on the other.

All of that before he reached the age of 25, and before finally committing to painting in the 1960s. \n<br><br>\nHis career in painting was cut short in 1970, when he died at the age of 36. But before that, he managed to have a series of well-received exhibitions in which he explored the appeal of the common object, portrayed in full blown-up scale to the maximum detail. His topic of choice engaged with American Pop culture, while his pictorial style, realistic yet somehow mysterious, connected with previous European art movements such as surrealism and metaphysical painting.\n<br><br>\nHis late wife and fellow artist Yannick Vu wrote about their secluded life in Mallorca, where Gnoli produced most of these paintings, for an exhibition in 2018.

Masanobu was a self-taught artist and publisher. He learnt painting and printmaking by studying the works of Torii Kiyonobu, and started his own publishing house to have more control over the works he produced. While his early works show the influence of the Torii school, he soon drifted into new paths and is acknowledged as a master who helped create new styles that influenced later artists.\n<br><br>\nAmong them is Uki-e, which translates to “floating” or “looming” picture, for the foreshortening perspective effects they produced. Around 1739, Masanobu started studying European engravings that had arrived to Edo (modern day Tokyo) through China to learn the rules of linear perspective. He later applied his findings to representing the Japanese architectural spaces, from domestic quarters to the Kabuki theatre, in lively scenes with many people. The style received the name of Uki-e, and was later adopted by artists such as Utagawa Toyoharo.","work_author":"Okumura Masanobu","work_title":"Woodblock Prints","work_year":"1700s"},"-MMFl1_g8VTnVmngQMa5":{"date":1605525318035,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_315.jpg?alt=media&token=6a10ef44-b376-4f44-b846-5598e56adb43","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"john-pitt"},{"text":"plan"},{"text":"drawing"},{"text":"1732"},{"text":"1700s"},{"text":"REPRESENTATION-OF-THE-ARCHITECTURAL-PROJECT"}],"work_author":"John Pitt","work_title":"Ground Plan of the Square Tower in the Middle of Dover Castle","work_year":"1732"},"-MMPclwhX1PffHsXELDc":{"date":1605690924909,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_schuette_01.jpg?alt=media&token=a50c1e69-caad-4c53-bb84-8354832797f6","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_schuette_02.jpg?alt=media&token=cba1f00d-267b-48fc-831f-9091a6f2c416","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_schuette_03.jpg?alt=media&token=4e0ae103-5b69-46e3-8ea5-8a45bb88604e","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"thomas-schuette"},{"text":"model"},{"text":"sculpture"},{"text":"1997"},{"text":"1990s"},{"text":"COLOR"},{"text":"ANIMALISTIC"}],"text":"In the context of the famed 'Westkunst' exhibition in 1981, Thomas Schütte produced a series of models that were to be constructed on full scale in Cologne's trade fair halls.

in the 20th century, artist and philanthropist Emily Noyes Vanderpoel published 'Color Problems: A Practical Manual for the Lay Student of Color' as a comprehensive analysis of the main ideas on color theory.\n<br><br>\nThe book contained 117 illustrations, including 54 “Color Analyses”, which consisted of 10x10 square grids that portrayed decorative pieces she had collected over the years reduced to the proportions of color present in each piece. Every one of the squares represents 1% of the object.\n<br><br>\nIn an article about Vanderpoel, Alan Bruton writes: \n<br><br>\n<i>“In the case of the unprecedented gridded Color Analyses, her invention is a highly synthetic method of abstraction. By careful observation of a part or whole of an object using subjective framing through an aperture —the Color Isolation Card found in the folder in the back cover of the book — students are instructed to separate the object’s color from its form to appreciate colors and their adjacencies in and of themselves, and are given a method to record what they see. \n<br><br>(…)\nIt is the abstraction itself of the Analyses that enables this cross-discipline, trans-media transfer. The object can be liberated from its name while its valuable, transmissible, visual essence remains in the Analysis. The use of the square format enables one further distancing from the source by allowing free rotation, erasing even gravity’s trace of up and down. The method produces a modernist axiom associated with the great living artist Robert Irwin, that “seeing is forgetting the name of the thing one sees.”\n<br><br>(…)\nIt wouldn’t be for another few years after the 1902 publication of Color Problems that artists and designers, from diverse locations and disciplines would coalesce, using abstraction as a lingua franca in their quest to give a visual language to their shared experience, renouncing representation and declaring themselves, their art and their era “modern.” ”</i>\n<br><br><br>\nFull article by Alan Bruton <a href=\"http://www.section-a.net/Vanderpoel_Bruton_Text.html\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>\n<br>\nThe book was reedited a few years ago.

His later return to painting, after stints in book illustration and set design, combined all those influences into works that are restrained, yet poetic.\n<br><br>\nThe first three pieces shown here were all produced in 1924. With their depiction of traditional architecture in axonometric points of view, they convey an idea of Japan-ness deep-rooted in the country's culture of printmaking. The absence of any human figure stands out in this tradition, which often centres on a series of people absorbed in various activities. The images are not devoid of humanity, however. A musical instrument left on the floor, or the turned on lights behind the windows, show us that these spaces are inhabited, and their emptiness is only temporary.\n<br><br>\nAbout the third of the images, 'Fallen Leaves', Donald Jenkins wrote:\n<br><br>\n<i>\"There can be an eloquence in leaving things unsaid; images can often express as much by what they withhold as what they reveal. Japanese artists seem to know this instinctively and almost invariably prefer to suggest or imply and thus intrigue the viewer's imagination rather than spell things out too explicitly It is an approach that can be baffling to Westerners. Used to a more direct form of presentation, we sometimes miss the point entirely.  Could that be the case here? What, after all, is happening in this print? Actually all we see is an empty veranda-like room projecting into an equally empty garden.  A few slender, all but leafless branches hang down from an unseen tree in front of the thatched roof of the porch. Fallen leaves are scattered evenly across the ground, suggesting flecks of color in a textured fabric. What we do not see is as important as what we do. We know that whoever owns or uses the little room must be a person of taste and sensitivity: everything about the room is immaculate and refined; the narrow lacquer table and low chest are elegant yet almost severely simple and fit perfectly with the geometry of the bare tatami. The openness of the room, too, is significant, the way it becomes an island in the midst of the tranquil garden. It tells us that the owner finds refreshment in the contemplation of nature, in the randomness and change that nature, following its own rhythms, introduces into even the most orderly life. The view down into the room, the steep tilt of the ground plane, and the emphasis on diagonals are all conventions found already in some of the earliest Japanese hand scrolls dating from the 12th century Settai clearly wanted us to think of this work in traditional terms\".</i>\n<br><br>\n(Images of a Changing World, Japanese Prints of the Twentieth Century, 1983-84)\n<br><br><br>\nMore on Settai Komura in <a href=\"https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2010/07/09/arts/komura-settai-finds-a-new-modern-audience/\" traget=\"_blank\">Japan Times</a> and and <a href=\"https://www.theartofjapan.com/artist-bio/?at=SettaiKomura\" target=\"_blank\">The Art of Japan</a>","work_author":"Settai Komura","work_title":"Prints"},"-MNNjNZyeAbPllY5_Cgh":{"date":1606732843377,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_mahieddine_01.jpg?alt=media&token=4ca549c8-5592-41ff-8390-7a4799a18453","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_mahieddine_02.jpg?alt=media&token=f8174fa8-0fd7-4ece-a8d4-2ae965052979","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_mahieddine_03.jpg?alt=media&token=3a90a2fd-1c59-498a-a60b-3d1e9af245e2","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_mahieddine_04.jpg?alt=media&token=d0102459-7b22-4754-94ef-5a1d34fabed8","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_mahieddine_05.jpg?alt=media&token=215c0c6c-e23c-410c-a963-a16a4c376a76","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_mahieddine_06.jpg?alt=media&token=895b5dfe-41ff-49e3-ba5b-f360a0d375fe","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_mahieddine_07.jpg?alt=media&token=9c79c726-062a-4858-9f89-a6a708413f4b","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_mahieddine_08.jpg?alt=media&token=5fae384a-fa4b-41d5-9b8a-0f0783c549f9","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_mahieddine_09.jpg?alt=media&token=717185b7-db67-4682-9de3-4e0f27c7186f","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_mahieddine_10.jpg?alt=media&token=193c1658-3afb-4512-be08-4412c5502a99","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"roland-simounet"},{"text":"ciam"},{"text":"plan"},{"text":"research"},{"text":"1953"},{"text":"1950s"},{"text":"drawing"},{"text":"EVERYDAY-LIFE"},{"text":"REPRESENTATION-OF-THE-ARCHITECTURAL-PROJECT"}],"text":"After World War II, CIAM members had to reconcile with the fact that most of the ideas promoted in early congresses could not properly deal with the devastation and necessary reconstruction of post-war Europe. CIAM 9 (1953) got together over 3000 people in Aix-en-Provence with the intent of producing a ‘Charte de l’Habitat’ that would establish the future development of urbanism. \n<br><br>\n\nIn researching for the congress, many of its participants shifted their interest to non-traditional visions of inhabiting, including several studies of informal settlements such as the one Roland Simounet and the Algiers Group presented on the Mahieddine bidonville (shantytown).\n<br><br>\n\nThe first drawing shown here is part of that study, a diagram showing the plan of a house at day and night. The drawing contained the following inscription:\n<br><br>\n\n<i>“The “beds” usually consist of planks resting on posts driven into the ground with or without matress. At night, because of the large number of people sleeping in each hut, they are supplemented by grass mats and blankets laid on the floor of beaten earth. The huts have no windows.”</i>\n<br><br>\n<br>\nExtract from <a href=\"https://publishing.cdlib.org/ucpressebooks/view?docId=ft8c6009jk&chunk.id=d0e2228&toc.depth=100&toc.id=d0e1777&brand=ucpress\" target_blank\">‘Urban Forms and Colonial Confrontations’ by Zeynep Çelik</a>:\n<br>\n<br>\n\n<i>“The Groupe CIAM Alger chose Mahieddine as its bidonville case study because this settlement had already been documented to some degree by aerial photographs and an overall site plan. Simounet's task involved documentation and analysis of the housing stock, as well as an inquiry into social conditions based on interviews with the residents.\n<br>\n\nSimounet's analysis led to a proposal to adopt the principles of the settlement that corresponded to \"the best conditions defined by modern urbanism,\" namely, principles concerning utilization of the site (based on a genuine respect for the site), topography, environment, greenery, provision of proximity to work, commerce, and recreation, as well as configuration of the main traffic arteries. Simounet and his colleagues especially appreciated the terraced use of land, the \"organic\" relationship between the buildings and the site (reminiscent of the casbah), the flexibility of spaces to accommodate diverse functions, and the changing needs of the users—all documented by Simounet's attractive sketches. <br>\n\nSimounet recorded the dwelling unit as the only element of the bidonville that needed technical improvements. Construction methods used in Cité Mahieddine, however, did display some remarkable qualities, among them a high degree of standardization. In terms of aesthetics, Simounet observed here \"the birth of a new art form,\" one that stemmed from the meeting of the Islamic and the European and that powerfully expressed the \"instinctive and profound aspirations of Muslim populations.\" Customs, traditions, and beliefs had played an extremely significant role in achieving this synthesis. According to the report of the Algiers Group, Simounet's study showed the importance of situating plastic arts (which included architecture) on a \"more social, even more ethical\" platform. Firmly anchored in \"human reality\" and \"social life,\" the Mahieddine settlement offered valuable lessons for \"tomorrow's habitat.\" Groupe CIAM Alger and Simounet personally influenced the debate on the bidonvilles . Architectural discourse of the 1950s and early 1960s frequently referred to the potential of squatter houses as models and to their \"extreme sensibility and high human qualities.\"</i>\n<br><br><br>\nMore information <a href=\"http://www.grahamfoundation.org/grantees/4981-inventing-informality\" target=\"_blank\">here</a> and <a href=\"http://resohab.univ-paris1.fr/jclh05/article.php3?id_article=35\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>","work_author":"Roland Simounet for CIAM 9","work_title":"Mahieddine Bidonville","work_year":"1953"},"-MNXiUlchU0UNQGB3a-k":{"date":1606900382889,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_isaac-brest_01.jpg?alt=media&token=5ba2faaa-58e7-4086-8182-f9c00f4f0cb9","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_isaac-brest_02.jpg?alt=media&token=9a48a175-ca93-46b1-9f75-6c789d9b4de4","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_isaac-brest_03.jpg?alt=media&token=60af945f-5c04-4516-9f5e-26da20c2d497","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_isaac-brest_04.jpg?alt=media&token=a9b29d9b-06d4-4998-b38f-f07234cf3463","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_isaac-brest_05.jpg?alt=media&token=3cd01d9f-b9c5-4744-89ae-1bd29622db2d","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_isaac-brest_06.jpg?alt=media&token=300d14fc-cfdd-4934-b1ea-273362a23c50","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_isaac-brest_07.jpg?alt=media&token=43f103d4-31ad-49ad-94ce-250380878aab","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_isaac-brest_08.jpg?alt=media&token=20ce17d7-3644-4cae-a49f-36a62e966479","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_isaac-brest_09.jpg?alt=media&token=d588bab9-0cbc-4f71-b9d6-a7ccd1e3409f","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"isaac-brest"},{"text":"2010s"},{"text":"drawing"},{"text":"ABSTRACT-PORTRAIT"},{"text":"COLOR"},{"text":"MATERIALITY"}],"text":"American artist Isaac Brest is interested in the relationship between cultural artefacts and commerce.

The preparatory documents for the projects have the ability to capture the character of the spaces with fidedign representations of the material’s gesture, sometimes achieved mainly by drawing them in pencil, others by directly gluing wrinkled fabric into the canvas.\n<br>\n<br><br>\nFrom Matthias Koddenberg’s essay “Beyond Sculpture: Christo's Store Fronts and Indoor Installation\" (extracted from <a href=\"https://christojeanneclaude.net/artworks/wrapped-floors-and-stairways/?view=slides\" target=\"_blank\">the artists’ website</a>):\n\n<br>\n<br>\n\n<i>“One of modernism's established strategies was to challenge the institutional function of museums, and it hardly comes as a surprise that, early on, Christo and Jeanne-Claude focused on the gallery space, the notorious white cube. In doing so, they waded into a highly topical debate of the 1960s and 1970s about spelling out and exposing the processes that underlie the presentation of art. At that time, galleries were often talked about with disdain, yet artists made use of them all the same; their survival depended on these double standards. Christo and Jeanne-Claude's monumental projects are often regarded as a critical rejection of the conventional ways of the art world. However, they were themselves reliant on this very world to be able to present and finance their own art. <br><br>\n\nA whole range of installations created from the late 1960s onward address this controversy. When Christo was invited by Jan van der Marck in 1968 to exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, Christo and Jeanne-Claude made a radical decision: after the empty exhibition space had been painted white and the drop cloths removed, the artists got hold of the same kind of cotton fabric and again covered the floor and stairs with it. Visitors basically could not detect any difference, although Christo and Jeanne-Claude had arranged the folds with meticulous care. This installation was essentially an \"artificial\" readymade. It was no doubt a highly controversial act to present visitors with a virtually empty gallery, and some of them did turn on their heels and walk straight out again as soon as they caught sight of the white walls, although from the outset the idea was that they should step on, walk across, and touch the covered floor. Despite its subversive quality, the installation had been expressly designed to provide a sensory experience. The invitation to walk through Christo and Jeanne-Claude's installation undermined the public’s role as neutral observers. In contrast to the Store Fronts, visitors were no longer excluded from the installation, but had actually become part of it; they were inside it instead of outside. This already foreshadows a central aspect of later monumental projects: the participatory involvement of the public who were no longer mere observers of the artwork, but also had an active role in it. <br><br>\n\n\nChristo and Jeanne-Claude subsequently set up the installation in different locations, highlighting the idiosyncrasies of each individual building in which it was displayed. The exhibition space at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago was a self-contained underground space. In other venues, Christo and Jeanne-Claude modified their concept by adopting a feature from their earlier Store Fronts: they covered the windows with cloth or wrapping paper, prompting visitors to focus even more on the room's interior. The clearest illustration of this approach was arguably their 1971 show staged in Krefeld at the exhibition venue Haus Lange, a building designed by Mies van der Rohe. This presentation completely negated what had up until then been regarded as the defining characteristic of that building, i.e., the fact that inside and outside seemed to merge owing to the large windows that practically reached from the bottom to the ceiling. All of the rooms were swathed in a subdued light that spread almost evenly in every direction; the only indication of the outside world were the shadows of the trees whose outlines were visible on the translucent wrapping paper—suggesting what the other side of Christo's Store Fronts might have looked like. The idea was not to prevent spectators from peering inside, but rather to block their view of the outside. Perhaps this resolute gesture was also intended as an exhortation: it is impossible to be in touch with nature while staying indoors; to do so, you need to leave the house, face reality, and brave the elements.”</i>","work_author":"Christo and Jeanne-Claude","work_title":"Wrapped Floors","work_year":"1968-2000s"},"-MQfQ47s2ttVTlz3JD8b":{"date":1610267513463,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ugo-la-pietra_01.jpg?alt=media&token=ce7ce812-8c68-48e9-a8a5-06103579e90e","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ugo-la-pietra_02.jpg?alt=media&token=c5bfa309-69f6-493e-8f22-7b4eb5076115","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ugo-la-pietra_03.jpg?alt=media&token=ff63d13b-7a3b-4c38-b876-42eced536215","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ugo-la-pietra_04.jpg?alt=media&token=4e3097a9-f7c6-4d84-a5c4-1284636e6afb","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ugo-la-pietra_05.jpg?alt=media&token=58ef8c21-4d05-4abf-b5a8-0dfa110575b5","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ugo-la-pietra_06.jpg?alt=media&token=cb516754-87c8-423d-b187-d595045c6600","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ugo-la-pietra_07.jpg?alt=media&token=2ee4d40a-b940-4fba-bccd-73b2c5d086f9","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ugo-la-pietra_08.jpg?alt=media&token=802256a4-43df-41a6-b97a-c0dfc9398f7f","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ugo-la-pietra_09.jpg?alt=media&token=3a5e66d7-3ce8-482c-aab2-7acd1548ed49","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ugo-la-pietra_10.jpg?alt=media&token=4de2bc36-caf0-4ea8-be82-f0cc1a412a50","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ugo-la-pietra_11.jpg?alt=media&token=1f1b2901-eabd-412c-a9e2-3325ff253e95","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ugo-la-pietra_12.jpg?alt=media&token=76b6f176-ee4c-4c0a-9dfc-d6e643c412f0","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ugo-la-pietra_13.jpg?alt=media&token=4faa2b6a-1450-4a06-a2c7-d50c7a08e7c8","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"ugo-la-pietra"},{"text":"1977"},{"text":"1970s"},{"text":"model"},{"text":"sculpture"},{"text":"MATERIALITY"},{"text":"OUT-OF-PLACE-OUT-OF-SCALE"}],"text":"In the late 1970s, as part of a larger exploration between interior and exterior (and the space between), Ugo La Pietra started producing ceramic models of homes in which everyday objects and pieces of furniture are repurposed as part of the building's façade.\n<br><br>\n\"Located in a place on the border of reality, their value is that each contains a reflection of man and his way of living, on the evolution of domestic rituals and the role that some archetypal elements may continue to develop so that everyone can feel at home anywhere.

Vajdos is considered the most important Hungarian avant-garde artist. After studying in Budapest under the influence of Russian iconoclasts and artists such as Moholy-Nagy, he moved to Paris, where he was introduced to cubism and surrealism and often visited the Ethnographic museum. He was also interested in primitive art and in spatial representation throughout history and according to different cultures.\n<br><br>\nIn his return to Hungary, he started collecting folk art and developed the ambition of creating a transversal movement that would translate the methodology of musicians Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály, renowned for bringing an ethnographic approach to the creation of new music, to other artistic fields.\n<br><br>\nHis works, both in drawing and in painting, combine objects, motifs and different points of view. His style was embraced and admired by the younger generations, but did not receive institutional praise until after his death. His self-portraits with architecture, considered to be some of his most iconic works in spite the apparent simplicity of its technique, were twice rejected by the jury of an important Hungarian exhibition.","work_author":"Lajos Vajda","work_year":"1930s"},"-MR9IPBb6XvqA0WhbeVX":{"date":1610785596256,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_warhol_03.jpg?alt=media&token=a29353a6-96ee-4d88-b288-523503ede06b","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_warhol_02.jpg?alt=media&token=0d08b707-c9e5-4d11-8e38-aba4c4a8bc92","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_warhol_01.jpg?alt=media&token=17506681-a7a0-4ae4-8a38-d503311911b8","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_warhol_04.jpg?alt=media&token=9efe24c1-cf31-40b6-8aa6-21af462a2eac","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_warhol_05.jpg?alt=media&token=f504d403-bbef-47dd-9c00-91fd6710d311","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_warhol_06.jpg?alt=media&token=d53d085c-59c8-403b-8e4a-38988e9ccd8e","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_warhol_07.jpg?alt=media&token=1e4a4a71-2b0f-46fa-9c85-71513e24444e","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_warhol_08.jpg?alt=media&token=b3d74bad-6b60-4be9-95ac-48133512c020","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_warhol_09.jpg?alt=media&token=f7edc158-e700-4dd3-bbfd-75e2ba54ee4a","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_warhol_10.jpg?alt=media&token=4e8088e2-f707-4118-8745-fdf0555a174c","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_warhol_11.jpg?alt=media&token=25a3033d-2ce3-47a7-b6fb-e0a819dd37d2","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_warhol_12.jpg?alt=media&token=cfff18ab-1422-4d28-9505-1333f2e7b37d","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_warhol_13.jpg?alt=media&token=63346aa7-a2a8-44ab-b120-e675a1c58267","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_warhol_14.jpg?alt=media&token=04418c00-94a3-4657-a932-f1056109678f","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_warhol_15.jpg?alt=media&token=cd59093a-f89e-4f92-8362-48e745edb792","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_warhol_16.jpg?alt=media&token=4abf1a90-def7-4bf8-b214-dfca1e0e8a85","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_warhol_17.jpg?alt=media&token=df4c10e5-2399-45b4-b514-8d835eee827d","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"andy-warhol"},{"text":"leonardo-da-vinci"},{"text":"piero-della-francesca"},{"text":"painting"},{"text":"1472"},{"text":"1984"},{"text":"1980s"},{"text":"HOMAGE"},{"text":"COLOR"}],"text":"In 1963, the Mona Lisa was exhibited in Washington and New York for the first time, a greatly successful event that was massively covered in the media. That same year, Warhol created a large canvas with several reproductions of Da Vinci’s painting under the title “Thirty Are Better Than One”. In doing so, he translated his methodology based on repetition and mass-production from the ubiquitous bottle of Coca-Cola to the seemingly unique Gioconda.\n<br><br>\nTwenty years later he revisited the idea in “Details of Renaissance Paintings”, a series of partial reproductions of iconic masterworks of the 1400s. For Da Vinci’s Annunciation (1472), Warhol centres his attention on the scenery instead of the act: only the hands on the two sides of the paintings suggest the presence of angel Gabriel and Virgin Mary. For the reproduction of Piero della Francesca’s “Madonna del Duca da Montefeltro” (ca. 1472), Warhol hides all of the ceremonial act taking place in the original painting and instead focuses on the architecture of the dome above the scene.","title":"","work_author":"Andy Warhol","work_title":"Details of Renaissance Paintings","work_year":"1984"},"-MRKOI_2NTPd2-GrZoEB":{"date":1610971691379,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_323_1.jpg?alt=media&token=27c08bd5-d9e4-437b-baeb-c38fb40a4f3a","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_323_2.jpg?alt=media&token=50495655-b2ea-47d3-928b-4b6c561dc7ab","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"girolamo-marchesi"},{"text":"painting"},{"text":"1520"},{"text":"1500s"},{"text":"FRONTAL-PERSPECTIVE"},{"text":"COLOR"}],"work_author":"Girolamo Marchesi","work_title":"Due vedute di città","work_year":"1520"},"-MRUR2m9VqzQag-iY8jy":{"date":1611140185290,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_unulaunu_01.jpg?alt=media&token=d6413c37-a807-4b5d-b6ad-8f9039198d85","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_unulaunu_02.jpg?alt=media&token=f09c6e0a-9e59-47e9-8fc5-d32cda0442ff","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_unulaunu_03.jpg?alt=media&token=cb862d81-fe5b-4fee-8936-f0968976e197","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_unulaunu_04.jpg?alt=media&token=13c6921a-ed9e-4300-a22b-ed9c7953cc38","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_unulaunu_05.jpg?alt=media&token=e5d58034-2e03-4d8d-8e3e-e12cffe1b770","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_unulaunu_06.jpg?alt=media&token=19a0cfa2-bf21-4f32-87b8-1ce1069abeb6","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_unulaunu_07.jpg?alt=media&token=e7f9165f-8bbf-4e87-b7c9-0d80dd2d80ab","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_unulaunu_08.jpg?alt=media&token=bc53eaa0-b0c8-4c0c-a78f-859f7dab5095","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_unulaunu_09.jpg?alt=media&token=b9776757-2081-4129-a3f6-b2adb1ab8e33","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"unulaunu"},{"text":"2010"},{"text":"2010s"},{"text":"installation"},{"text":"ABSTRACT-CONSTRUCTION"},{"text":"DEFINITION-OF-A-ROOM"},{"text":"COLOR"},{"text":"REPRESENTATION-OF-THE-ARCHITECTURAL-PROJECT"}],"text":"A room within a room appeared in front of the visitors upon their entrance to the Romanian pavilion in the 12th Architecture Biennale in Venice. A white volume, occupying most of the pavilion’s main space, accessible only from a door in the back, and only to one person at a time. Its surface was exactly 94,443 square meters, the demographic density of the city of Bucharest.\n<br><br>\nFrom the book of the exhibition:\n<br><br>\n<i>“The pavilion exhibits Space, in both its profane, physical state and its sacral, abstract state. In order to allow the vague notion of \"space\" to materialise, we have correlated it with a precise, measurable object, but one that is also just as abstract. The exhibited space has a surface area of 94,443 square meters, a number which expresses the demographic density in the city of Bucharest and illustrates both the situation of the individual and a collective state.\n<br><br>\nThe restricted, enigmatic, but nevertheless dynamic exterior has a preparatory function and communicates with the interior space only through three apertures, which anticipates various hypostases of the mystery. The space here has a public character, with visitors being invited, by means of the restrictive and variable geometry itself, to experiment with various levels of human-to-human interaction.\n<br><br>\nHowever, the interior of the object can only be traversed by one person at a time. The dramatic, but controlled, architecture of the space, an architecture that is strikingly abstract, facilitates a profoundly personal experience that exhorts introspection and a radical analysis of the human/space relation.\n<br><br>\nThe deliberate emphasis on the tension between interior and exterior acts as a process that induces solitude, severing the visitor from the quotidian, levelling experience of spaces. The project brings back into discussion the need for an architecture that is the product of an idea and the importance of architecture as a unique generator of space, recommending a direction (one that is simultaneously very simple and very complex) for contemporary architecture: the direct link between the individual, space and architecture must be re-established. The pure space generated by an Idea is the basis for authentic experiences, for self-rediscovery, as well as for interaction with

X, known as the Wise, was the king of Castile, León and Galicia. He fostered the development of a cosmopolitan court that encouraged learning and culture, in which Jews, Muslims, and Christians were included in prominent roles. He was an erudite with many interests, and among them were board games, which he saw as escapist activities that could contribute to erasing differences between social classes and religious beliefs. \n<br><br>\n<i>\"In the thirteenth century, chess had been played in Europe for almost two hundred years, having been introduced into Europe by Arabs around the year 1000. The Arabs had become familiar with the game as early as the eighth century when the Islamic empire conquered Persia, where the game of chess was alleged to have been originated. It is said that a royal advisor had invented the game in order to teach his king prudence without having to overtly correct him. As Arab contact with the West expanded, so too did the game and its various permutations, and by the twelfth century, chess was becoming an entertaining diversion among a growing population of Europeans, including some scholars, clergy, the aristocracy, and the merchant classes; thus, by the thirteenth century, the iconography and symbolism associated with chess would have been accessible and familiar to Alfonso and his literate court culture, who may have had access to the private library, and manuscripts, of Alfonso, including the Libro de juegos.\"</i> (fragment included in the <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libro_de_los_juegos\" target=\"_blank\">Wikipedia</a> entry for the work)\n<br><br>\nThe Book of Games was a richly illustrated treatise on the playing of three games: chess –a game of skill–, dice –a game of chance–, and backgammon –a game that combines both skill and chance.\n<br><br>\nRather than just showing the game board, the illustrations enlarge their scope to show who is playing, and where. As a result, we are offered a glimpse into the architecture of the 1200s in different social strata. Games are played in palaces, but also in more modest households and religious buildings. Some illustrations show chess games in tents, as a pastime activity in between battles or in a stop over a long journey. Most of the players are men, but a few of the illustrations show women in the middle of a game. In another, a few men are seen with bows, as if they had just returned from hunting in the nearby forest. Others show monks engrossed in the game, or children learning the moves.","work_author":"Alfonso X","work_title":"Libro de los juegos (Book of Games)","work_year":"ca. 1283"},"-MSvafJXRphWJ5I4Pwrd":{"date":1612686472545,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_schuette-woodcuts_01.jpg?alt=media&token=0e965c27-8490-4753-8167-b11388727f3c","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_schuette-woodcuts_02.jpg?alt=media&token=0eb1ab2e-5913-4e1d-93b2-438fef0ccbba","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_schuette-woodcuts_03.jpg?alt=media&token=1254d1fe-c56a-4fa7-ab6c-5c58a0a83d8b","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_schuette-woodcuts_04.jpg?alt=media&token=228b8263-7bfd-452b-8df0-d0915943a2b2","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_schuette-woodcuts_05.jpg?alt=media&token=713fa97a-7451-4994-9dd6-eccfb54ee1c1","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_schuette-woodcuts_06.jpg?alt=media&token=86964520-9a35-4153-aa65-0871d1767dad","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_schuette-woodcuts_07.jpg?alt=media&token=797dbc4e-4bba-4e1b-8a99-a3331ad0014e","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_schuette-woodcuts_08.jpg?alt=media&token=0be9f0b4-3527-4b62-b41d-64eec77afc7a","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_schuette-woodcuts_09.jpg?alt=media&token=f8fd39ab-39a5-43b9-867b-d9b044be9cfd","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_schuette-woodcuts_10.jpg?alt=media&token=64b092c9-e681-4c37-bf57-a8e788e05ec0","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_schuette-woodcuts_11.jpg?alt=media&token=b5a41a9f-21ff-4b1a-81a9-e64e64b3fe20","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"thomas-schuette"},{"text":"painting"},{"text":"engraving"},{"text":"2011"},{"text":"2010s"},{"text":"FRONTAL-PERSPECTIVE"},{"text":"COLOR"},{"text":"MATERIALITY"}],"text":"Thomas Schütte’s Woodcuts revisit the themes from his 1984 series Die Burg (The Castle) in large-scale compositions (250 x 160 cm) of architectural elements in a fictional castle. Rather than carving the desired drawing in one piece of wood, Schütte’s method consists of arranging pieces of different kinds of wood, already shaped in the form of the surfaces of the space portrayed. With each piece having its own natural wood grain and painted in a different vivid colour, the resulting compositions acquire remarkable texture and depth.\n<br><br>\nAbout the original series, Die Burg, from Christie’s <a href=\"https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-5608691\" target=\"_blank\">website</a>:\n<br><br>\n<i>“Carried out in 1984, Die Burg is a large-scale work on paper by arch iconoclast and formidable public/political commentator, Thomas Schütte. Standing over two metres in height, it offers an unassuming yet potent critique on the institution. As the title of the work intimates, the drawing depicts the arched windows of a small fortress, framing an empty cyan blue sky. The composition has an almost 'de Chiricolike' emptiness, the viewer staring at an empty, evacuated room. The architectural features of the fortress are rendered with clean lines reminiscent of Minimalism, at the same time the use of vibrant colour and gestural application of paint defies this aesthetic.”</i>","work_author":"Thomas Schütte","work_title":"Woodcuts","work_year":"2011"},"-MT51RaRXJLQj0NaNLjF":{"date":1612861524448,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_reinert_01.jpg?alt=media&token=59805d0f-fd7b-410b-8aa5-89ed31655a0d","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_reinert_02.jpg?alt=media&token=b0540535-7b89-4ec2-8d71-a04228b5824f","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_reinert_03.jpg?alt=media&token=231e1ac9-ad05-4983-b183-48a202204b67","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_reinert_04.jpg?alt=media&token=c0cdfc5d-b577-466d-8562-91d510f53929","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_reinert_05.jpg?alt=media&token=ce94f829-7a74-40a7-a777-28b30449c8de","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_reinert_06.jpg?alt=media&token=39e8f751-7d62-48ad-8ec3-899ca666b44d","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_reinert_07.jpg?alt=media&token=c624a5de-7339-4611-b859-376f04b3139a","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_reinert_08.jpg?alt=media&token=ff6bf306-07f2-4c2f-910c-7b06ec298117","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_reinert_09.jpg?alt=media&token=5d2caee5-6054-49e7-93b2-637c71f90c55","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_reinert_10.jpg?alt=media&token=63abd974-f3a3-4ff0-88c6-c3eb710c2ce9","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_reinert_11.jpg?alt=media&token=cc129f58-8c22-421e-b78a-7e2d7097a753","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_reinert_12.jpg?alt=media&token=1de2e706-cbdc-4cae-8462-e2580bfbd978","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"jens-reinert"},{"text":"model"},{"text":"2000s"},{"text":"A-PARTICULAR-POINT-OF-VIEW"}],"text":"In Jens Reinert's work, everyday spaces –a corridor, a foyer, the entrance to a supermarket– are isolated from their surroundings and presented as standalone objects. \n<br><br>\nSome are whole rooms, with only one wall missing that allows us to peek in, in a similar way to how a dollhouse works.

As a founding member of OMA, she participated in some of its most experimental projects in the 1970s. Her paintings of projects such as the Hotel Sphinx (in view in the exhibition), often in axonometric views, came to define the image of the studio in its early years.\n<br><br>\nFrom the press release of the exhibition: \n<br><br>\n<i>“In Zoe Zenghelis’ contained paintings, there is, again paradoxically, a suggestion of space stretching far beyond our perception, a celestial city, without limits. The eye is as absorbed by the space between the forms themselves, set into informal procession. But it is picture making beyond the stage, set somewhere between the contrived and the natural, the abstract and the representational. These imaginary spaces are inspired as much by the urban grid of London, the cities of concrete, as the islands of the Ionian Sea, their whiting gleaming houses bleached by light, the surrounding water both absorbing and reflecting the glittering sky. Space and territory, our own and others, is a question of politics and aesthetics. These paintings hint at imagination’s journey. As the poet E.E.Cummings once phrased it, always the beautiful answer to the beautiful question.”</i> - Marina Vaizey, 1992","work_author":"Zoe

Couloumy's vast body of work is an exhaustive research on the construction of spaces within the domestic realm. She is interested in visuals and in light, in how minimal changes such as the opening of a door or set of doors can influence the form of the space, the light that comes in, what is visible and what is not.\n<br><br>\nDoors are intra-spaces, portals to different yet similar realities: they separate and unite. They can be opened, closed, and everywhere in between. Long diagonals traverse sets of opened doors and allow for sequential visions. Sometimes the focus is on the floor, and she seems captivated by the resulting shape of the wooden planks in contraposition to the doors and walls, almost invariably painted in white or pastel colours. Other times paintings show partial details of everyday spaces, full of objects, rooms in which its inhabitant is absent, but only for a moment.\n<br><br>\nMirrors often play an important role in the paintings. At times, they allow us to see things we wouldn't have otherwise seen; they show us yet another viewpoint. In paintings of larger rooms, mirrors occupy whole walls, and their reflective quality has the ability of multiplying the space and adding splendour to these void spaces.","work_author":"Anne-Françoise Couloumy","work_title":"Paintings"},"-MUbmZV_5b5P4O_EZrWl":{"date":1614501529711,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_d-elwes_01.jpg?alt=media&token=ba42d5cf-5c99-4270-9559-42cda7a52b85","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_d-elwes_02.jpg?alt=media&token=68fe9b57-df3e-428a-bfef-76e2e868763e","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_d-elwes_03.jpg?alt=media&token=902e1b3c-c534-417f-941f-5e58c4f840d8","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_d-elwes_04.jpg?alt=media&token=d22a5d00-48e5-47b9-bfc2-74030099e596","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_d-elwes_05.jpg?alt=media&token=22663438-1293-4576-bd63-d096a7741ce5","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_d-elwes_06.jpg?alt=media&token=439a70d8-1cb9-4d93-9e3b-46297a3b947a","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_d-elwes_07.jpg?alt=media&token=c02f19a2-005c-4fe6-8290-1e19c099abd8","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_d-elwes_08.jpg?alt=media&token=d098db20-1ac7-42ac-9b2d-253cc2482074","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_d-elwes_09.jpg?alt=media&token=d2b754ae-b24f-4203-9b5d-cd1eb4eea39c","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_d-elwes_10.jpg?alt=media&token=afe46cd4-73ef-4021-9d22-5b703666d06b","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"damian-elwes"},{"text":"pablo-picasso"},{"text":"painting"},{"text":"2010s"},{"text":"2000s"},{"text":"THINGS-THINGS-THINGS"},{"text":"HOMAGE"},{"text":"A-PARTICULAR-POINT-OF-VIEW"}],"text":"Pablo Picasso acquired Villa La Californie, in Cannes, in 1955 and lived there until 1961, when a nearby construction blocked his view to the sea and he decided to leave. His stay in the house was widely documented at the time by friend photographers, who portrayed the daily life of the painter and his family and guests in rooms cluttered with paintings –works in process or already completed pieces–, African sculptures, Mediterranean pottery, musical instruments hanging in the walls, and thousands of other objects. \n<br><br>\nBased on the extensive archive of images, painter Damian Elwes recreated the rooms of a villa in a series of eight large-scale paintings that, put together, create a panorama that allows viewers to immerse themselves in the house. While human figures are not to be seen, Elwes carefully studied and reproduced the many objects that populated the rooms, which stand in clear contrast with the richly ornamented palatial architecture of the interior spaces.\n<br><br><br>\nSome more info on the villa <a href=\"http://fragments-cannes.com/villa_picassoang.html\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>\n<br><br>\nAmong the photographers who documented the house were David Douglas Duncan (<a href=\"http://mondo-blogo.blogspot.com/2012/07/picasso-in-his-studio-villa-la.html\" target=\"_blank\">here</a> and <a href=\"https://www.vintag.es/2018/12/picasso-by-david-douglas-duncan.html\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>), <a href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=villa+la+californie+pablo+picasso+andre+villers&client=safari&rls=en&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwix_c_74_XuAhWGUMAKHfBYAdoQ_AUoAXoECBIQAw&biw=1354&bih=1231\" target=\"_blank\">André Villers</a> and <a href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=villa+la+californie+pablo+picasso+edward+quinn&client=safari&hl=en&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiS6M7J5PXuAhVNeMAKHbw4BWMQ_AUoAXoECBIQAw&biw=1354&bih=1231\" target=\"_blank\">Edward Quinn</a>.","work_author":"Damian Elwes","work_title":"Villa La Californie","work_year":"2006-2018"},"-MUmucyHje4lHfcHGLr6":{"date":1614688194514,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_331.jpg?alt=media&token=2f706515-368a-4aac-a48c-8d3837a33ff3","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"leon-krier"},{"text":"drawing"},{"text":"1970s"},{"text":"REPRESENTATION-OF-THE-ARCHITECTURAL-PROJECT"},{"text":"EXTERIOR-ROOM"}],"work_author":"Leon Krier","work_title":"Hypostyle House","work_year":"1977-84"},"-MVa1kz6wFCGoLQLGBQq":{"date":1615545962505,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_332.jpg?alt=media&token=5f6146bc-8094-4e10-a638-7d17f56a6870","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"tony-cragg"},{"text":"painting"},{"text":"collage"},{"text":"1982"},{"text":"1980s"},{"text":"ABSTRACT-CONSTRUCTION"}],"work_author":"Tony Cragg","work_title":"Large Window","work_year":"1982"},"-MVa2sb-JIavNQYsP5e4":{"date":1615546255874,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_333.jpg?alt=media&token=8e2a687e-d593-4168-94c6-d58d3da649ae","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"alessandro-mendini"},{"text":"model"},{"text":"1982"},{"text":"1980s"}],"work_author":"Alessandro Mendini","work_title":"Tender Architecture.

His studies on the cube as an archetype take on the construction of three-dimensional space through the multiple combinations of edges that conform a cube. The results, both in drawing and in sculpture are abstract structures that are as architectural as they are impossible to inhabit.\n<br><br>\nHis methodical approach to exhausting all options on a given subject has as a collateral result the creation of great compositions that may offer multiple interpretations: \"The idea becomes a machine that makes the art\". \n<br><br>\nThe first drawing shown here is one such example. In an attempt to represent all the possible combinations of hatching rectangles with straight lines in four different directions, the artist composes an arrangement that resembles the elevation of a building with a tripartite division of base, shaft and capital.

Its decline has resulted in an inability to observe images that is expressed in a conformity of everything visual. Observation ends thoughtlessly at visual surfaces with hardly any recognition of a meaning behind them. Yet this is not a sign of inaptitude, but, rather of having forgotten how for want of a challenge. This project is designed to resocialize imagination, a fundamental prerequisite both for producing art and for is reception. The imaginative person is a producer and/or a recipient of art. It is necessary to experience imagination consciously again. The high recognition value of the motif and the relaxed and informal use of postcards create familiarity. The aim is to trigger the imagination on the one hand and to create access to observation on the other. How often is false intellectual distance an obstacle to ”free” reception?

Magritte)\n<br><br>\nWorks of art can mean different things at different moments, particularly those that are as open to interpretation as Magritte's paintings. Their significance evolves with time, well beyond what the artist may have originally imagined.\n<br><br>\nMagritte painted the same motifs over and over again, in different combinations. Here, it's the window, the white clouds over a blue sky and, most importantly, the man in the bowler hat. Except there is not only one of them, but many. What are they doing there? Their expressions are neither angry, nor happy or sad. They are not menacing, but they are not welcoming either.\n<br><br>\nSurrealism juxtaposes images or elements in an irrational manner. Often, that means that even if the viewer in unconsciously triggered by the resulting composition, a logical analysis will prevent these images from being understood as conceivable: there is no chance of a train coming through the fireplace or those same bowler hat men raining from the sky. There is, however, nothing physically impossible in 'Le mois des vendanges'.\n<br><br>\nThe strangeness Magritte alludes to, then, comes from its setting: a room with no particular attributes in which an open window allows a mob of uniformed, generic men to look in. The perspective of the painting makes it appear as you are inside the room looking out and so, as a result, you are the one being watched.\n<br><br>\n<i>'Their gaze, directed at ours, and all the more terrible for being a multiplication of the same look, blocks our outlook and renders us a prisoner of the room, denying us even the most ordinary of landscapes.'</i> (Mary-Ann Caws, \"The Eye in the Text: Essays on Perception. Mannerist to Modern\")\n<br><br>\nBack in prehistoric times, humans perceived eyes watching them as an existential threat, that of predators coming for their lives. Nowadays, this primal fear has been transferred into <a href=\"https://hbr.org/2019/09/to-overcome-your-fear-of-public-speaking-stop-thinking-about-yourself\" target=\"_blank\">the anxiety of speaking in public</a> the anxiety of speaking in public. All eyes on us again.\n<br><br>\n<a href=\"https://tmb.apaopen.org/pub/nonverbal-overload/release/1\" target=\"_blank\">Several experts</a> have talked in the last year of 'Zoom fatigue' as a consequence of transferring the work environment into daily videoconferences. The exhaustion many feel at the end of the day comes from a series of causes, most importantly the body language of the participants, who are constantly looking at the screen at other people, who are also looking at their screens in return. The fact that we are doing these videoconferences from home effectively breaks the separation of the domestic and the working/productive life. If we translate this into Magritte's painting, we are both watching and being watched, we stand in both sides of the window.\n<br><br>\nThat Microsoft decided to name its operational system Windows, precisely, adds another layer of significance. While the original \"windows\" in PCs were not to be taken as literal construction elements that separate the in from the out, in our current state of semi-permanent home confinement, \"windows\" have become very much figurative windows to the outside world. (Coincidentally, Microsoft Windows has often used a very magrittesque blue sky with white clouds as their wallpaper/background, but without any trace of irony or voluntary surrealism. Even more, competing system Mac's icon is another recurring theme in Magritte, the apple, and it seems the Apple name and symbol can be traced back <a href=\"https://www.forbes.com/sites/craigsilver/2013/12/05/how-a-magritte-painting-lead-to-apple-computer/\" target=\"_blank\">directly to the painter</a>, via Paul McCartney and the Beatles).\n<br><br>\nThe act of watching and being watched is best understood in the context of videoconferences, as it is an activity that happens at the same time for both parts (the watcher and the watched). But this same concept could be understood to apply to all social media, whether that may be in photograph, video, or written text. Posting about your private life is exposing yourself to the gaze of others, and therefore feeling judged by their reactions, or lack thereof. Scrolling through any social media app is exposing yourself to what others choose to show, therefore rendering an unrealistic vision of other people's lives.\n<br><br>\nMagritte's painting conveys an eerie atmosphere that makes us somewhat uncomfortable, yet the same interactions in virtual form have been normalized into our everyday life.\n<br><br><br><br>\nThe painting is going on sale this

The aseptic stage reveals itself as something more as the floor appears to start moving under the singer's feet. Soon enough, the pieces of furniture (two black minimal armchairs and a sofa) start moving too. The simplicity of the space makes the illusion even more enigmatic. Is the floor really moving?\n<br><br>\nIt actually is not moving, although that was the initial intention. Director Jonathan Glazer has explained that the cost of engineering the floor to move was soon seen to be completely disproportionate, so the production team had to resort to resourcefulness to find another solution. In fact, it's the walls that are moving on wheels, along with the ceiling and, most importantly, an attached camera. The pieces of furniture are bolted and unbolted to the walls, so they are sometimes moving with the rest of the set, and at other times remain stuck on the floor (thus, appearing to move). The particular way the band's singer, Jay Kay, moves and dances in the space, in a choreography he created himself, contributes to the magical illusion.\n<br><br>\nThe inventiveness of the video has placed it on many \"best of\" lists since it was first produced, and helped make the band a worldwide success. Justin Chadwick from Albumism wrote about the video that it <i>'became the band's transformative, watershed moment'</i>, with a song <i>' lamenting the proliferation of technology at the expense of human connection and preservation of our planet'</i>.\n<br><br><br>\nYou can watch the full video <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JkIs37a2JE\" target=\"_blank\">here</a> and an interview with Jonathan Glazer talking about the process of making it <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzwY7ii582Y\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>\n<br>\nMore info on the video <a href=\"http://throughthelensprod.blogspot.com/2016/09/music-video-analysis-iv.html\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>","work_author":"Jamiroquai","work_title":"Virtual insanity","work_year":"1996"},"-MXuk-FJkMP8bT4Jh6CJ":{"date":1618040849464,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_hefner_01.jpg?alt=media&token=b6fb1269-e222-4061-9e4e-c55884874d1a","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_hefner_02.jpg?alt=media&token=b94ab274-a197-4bfa-898e-4a90348f7611","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_hefner_03.jpg?alt=media&token=626581bb-b93c-448d-a124-350d59d0a9df","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_hefner_04.jpg?alt=media&token=f01ec5d7-560a-4712-9976-e2ef761f6713","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_hefner_05.jpg?alt=media&token=881e3552-4868-47b5-ad31-e5aa549aa3d5","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_hefner_06.jpg?alt=media&token=6f6e347a-4621-4ae2-b7e8-c58f1470c25d","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_hefner_07.jpg?alt=media&token=02ebd416-be2b-4ba8-89d0-130cadf889f5","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"hugh-hefner"},{"text":"bedroom"},{"text":"1966"},{"text":"1960s"},{"text":"NEW-TECHNOLOGIES"},{"text":"PORTRAIT-OF-THE-INHABITANT(S)"},{"text":"RADICAL-WAYS-OF-LIVING"}],"text":"For a man who made a career out of selling sex, it might not be that surprising that he was often photographed in bed, in the intimacy of his own home. What may be more unexpected are the activities taking place: he is attending phone calls, editing the layout of a publication, inspecting photographs, or checking correspondence. The bed, a circular design of his own, equipped with all the gadgetry a \"modern man\" might need, surpassed its original need as a piece of furniture to sleep on to become the place for every other activity of the day: eating, working, reading the newspapers, watching TV, or receiving the company of visitors.\n<br><br>\n\nhttps://www.magnumphotos.com/arts-culture/society-arts-culture/burt-glinn-playboy-chicago-mansion/\n\nIn a wonderful <a href=\"https://work-body-leisure.hetnieuweinstituut.nl/247-bed\" target=\"_blank\">article</a> for the Het Nieuwe Instituut in 2018, Beatriz Colomina writes about Hugh Hefner's bed, John Lennon and Yoko Ono's Bed-In, and the bed as a workplace. Read in 2021, her text sounds prescient to the current situation and even truer than it was only a few years ago:\n<br><br>\n<i>'The fantasy of the home office has given way to the reality of the bed office. The very meaning of the word \"office\" has been transformed. Millions of dispersed beds are taking over from concentrated office buildings. The boudoir is defeating the tower. Networked electronic technologies have removed any limit to what can be done in bed.\n<br><br>\nThis philosophy was already embodied in the figure of Hugh Hefner, who famously almost never left his bed, let alone his house. (...) The bed itself is a house. Its rotating and vibrating structure is packed with a small fridge, hi-fi, telephone, filing cabinets, bar, microphone, dictaphone, video cameras, headphones, TV, breakfast table, work surfaces, and control for all the lighting fixtures—all for the man who never wants to leave. The bed was Hefner’s office, his place of business, where he conducted interviews, made his phone calls, selected images, adjusted layouts, edited texts, ate, drank, and consulted with playmates.'</i>\n<br><br><br>\nMore info <a href=\"https://www.magnumphotos.com/arts-culture/society-arts-culture/burt-glinn-playboy-chicago-mansion/\n\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>","work_author":"Hugh Hefner","work_title":"Playboy Bed","work_year":"1966"},"-MY4OOWAHDVhJWWzU3nR":{"date":1618219473027,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_335.jpg?alt=media&token=61e27b45-9d0c-4caf-b3a6-83d3bb0ea721","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"guy-bourdin"},{"text":"painting"},{"text":"bedroom"},{"text":"COLOR"},{"text":"OUT-OF-PLACE-OUT-OF-SCALE"}],"text":"<i>\"Some of the paintings have a shallow sense of pictorial depth, something you can also see in his photographs.

architecture as a mould, Swiss artist Heidi Bucher reproduces the worn out surface of whole rooms –or some of their construction elements– in ethereal, seemingly fragile sculptures that reveal the in-between mass and void.\n<br><br>\nThe process of producing the works is in itself a performance, filmed for posterity in atmospherical videos. They reveal the artist walking through decrepit buildings and inspecting the spaces before getting to work, with a recording of underwater sounds in the background. The methodology of production is seen in detail, from the casting of liquid latex to the peeling of the dried out material, which is portrayed as a physically demanding exercise that appears to exorcise the rooms from the events that took place in them. \n<br><br>\nBucher is sometimes filmed theatrically wrapped in the resulting pieces as if they were furs, walking down corridors and carrying the weight of the memory embedded in the place. Other times, the works are taken outside and ceremonially displayed. In a video from 1981, a room is seen floating above the house where it was casted from, elevated by a crane, its appearance is that of a ghost. The first image shown here is a collage that shows this same room floating above the Alps, which adds yet another layer to the representation of the work beyond that of the pieces simply hanging on museums and galleries. \n<br><br>\nThe artist first experimented with this kind of work in her own studio, which had been a butcher's shop. She later worked in the Bellevue Sanatorium in Kreuzlingen, a pioneering centre in the psychoanalytic method where affluent patients sought treatment.\n<br><br><br>\nSome links to videos of the

It is even the story of the land itself, and the way it has evolved over millions of years.\n<br><br>\n'Here' takes the form of a graphic novel of over 300 pages where the same space is pictured in each of them, and from the same point of view. By placing the corner of the room exactly on the centre of the illustrations, each page becomes a 'wall' and the opening of the book resembles a stage in which the reader is immersed. Windows of history with past and future events are superimposed in the pages, tagged with the year of the event, thus offering a layered portrayal of multiple timelines.\n<br><br>\nThe genesis of the novel is in a short story McGuire published in 1989 in the comics magazine Raw. While in a completely different style (black and white illustrations, six drawings per page...), the idea of overlaying fragments of other times in the form of windows over the main illustration was already there, and the piece would go on to be considered a seminal work in the history of comics.\n<br><br>\nChris Ware, a famed comic illustrator on his own, wrote about the original 'Here': <i>\"It opened a up a completely new avenue of expression for visual storytelling by adding to the familiar 'left-to-right' and 'up-and-down' reading of comics a third 'in-and-out' direction of overlapping palimpsests of framed historical space.\"</i>\n<br><br>\nAbout the graphical representation of these 'bubbles' of information, McGuire himself attributes their conceptualization to Microsoft Windows:<i> \" I started work on the story in 1988 when the Windows program had already been out for a few years, but I didn’t even own a computer at the time. It was when a friend came to visit and explained how he could open different “windows” simultaneously on his computer screen, that’s when it hit me. I could do the same thing and show many windows of time in my comic.\"</i>\n<br><br>\nFor the novel, done a few decades later, the non-descript space of the original story became the living room of the author's family home in New Jersey. He researched the history of the place, recent and past, to imagine scenes of other times. He studied the language and customs of the Lenni-Lenape Indians, who inhabited the state for over 10000 years, and also the relationship between Benjamin Franklyn and his estranged son, who lived in a house up the road. He looked for amateur photographs of families, in order to find the right tone for each decade, and also researched how the landscape had evolved over millennia. \n<br><br>\nHe dug into the story of his own family while being aware that said story is only a very small part of the place: <i>\"I wanted the viewer to be aware that all of our lives are very tiny in the huge ocean of time. The story really is about how everything is transitory.\"</i>\n<br><br><br>\nChris Ware wrote a review of the book for The Guardian, which you can read <a href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/dec/17/chris-ware-here-richard-mcguire-review-graphic-novel\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>\n<br>\nThere is a wonderful digital document of the making of the book in Five Dials, which you can see \n<a href=\"https://fivedials.com/art/number-35-richard-mcguire-makes-a-book/\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>","work_author":"Richard McGuire","work_title":"Here","work_year":"2014"},"-MYz4aDn_hHqkxGB6K6j":{"date":1619187360757,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2F1.jpg?alt=media&token=6d097433-0f88-4af2-b8cc-7d61d2a49bb4","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2F2.jpg?alt=media&token=347fdbdc-5fc6-4480-97cd-4388459d79d3","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2F3.jpg?alt=media&token=3746cfdf-eeff-4a02-80f3-89a852e0199d","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2F4.jpg?alt=media&token=a93d1040-f8be-45a1-98c5-4f901391453d","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2F5.jpg?alt=media&token=735cbc59-bd49-4b57-8716-d8a0d7aae5a3","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2F6.jpg?alt=media&token=9e959aba-b1cf-493a-8485-7306d259cf8c","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2F7.jpg?alt=media&token=34bbf885-63df-4a75-92ef-c25ae59070f7","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2F8.jpg?alt=media&token=60316d72-67ba-4d2e-a7a1-7bf64882e449","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2F9.jpg?alt=media&token=cf41b029-e843-434b-8b42-b119a9195a5b","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"book"},{"text":"literature"},{"text":"olafur-eliasson"},{"text":"robert-irwin"},{"text":"lawrence-weschler"},{"text":"georges-perec"},{"text":"italo-calvino"},{"text":"edmund-de-waal"},{"text":"richard-mcguire"},{"text":"iñaki-abalos"},{"text":"edwin-heathcote"},{"text":"virgina-woolf"}],"text":"Where we are from, April 23rd is Sant Jordi, the day of the Book and the Rose. Since 1995, this festivity has been expanded internationally to the World Book Day. And so, in the grand tradition of gifting others (or yourself) with a book on this day, we have made a short list of suggestions. We have already written about some of them in the past. Except for the first one, the rest are fairly cheap and easy to find (no grand monographs or impossible-to-find rarities). There are some old classics, and others just out of the press. Biographies, novels, and essays. They talk about the creation and inhabitation of space from very different points of view.\n<br><br>\n1. 'Your House'. Olafur Eliasson's house inside a book (we have already written about this book, see more <a href=\"https://aseriesofrooms.com/#/asset/-L5hTXmMDAlo7GnbjzmJ\" target=\"_blank\">here</a> )\n<br><br>\n2. 'Seeing Is Forgetting the Name of the Thing One Sees', a biography of artist Robert Irwin written by Lawrence Weschler, that spans thirty years of conversations and that describes the journal of the artist from figurative to abstract painting, from painting to object within a space, and from object on a wall to the creation of walls themselves.\n<br><br>\n3. Life: A User's Manual, by Georges Perec. A palimpsest of stories within a Parisian housing building, one room at a time. (we have already written about this book, see more <a href=\"https://aseriesofrooms.com/#/asset/-KhhAjqYU4M2931FCPGj\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>)\n<br><br>\n4. 'Invisible Cities', by Italo Calvino. The tale of 55 imagined, fantastic and weird cities, as told by Marco Polo to Kublai Khan.\n<br><br>\n5. 'The Hare with Amber Eyes', by Edmund de Waal. The story of a collection of netsuke (small Japanese figurines) and the different houses they inhabited, from Paris to Vienna to Tokyo, as they were passed on to younger generations of a historic family.\n<br><br>\n6. 'Here', by Richard Mcguire. Another story of family, in this case in the form of a graphic novel that explores one single room and its changes throughout history.

'The Meaning of Home', by Edwin Heathcote. An exploration of Home in the form of short essays on its rooms and the architectural elements that construct it.\n<br><br>\n9. 'A Room of One's Own', by Virginia Woolf. An essay on being a female writer in a moment when women had no autonomy, and how a room (and money) can change the way literature (and any other creative activity as an extension) is

Windows are fragmented into each of their elements, and the views from them can be imagined in the form of tree branches and clouds. A library is made out of 'books' that lose their identifying titles to become generic volumes on invisible shelves. On the floor, tables and chairs are flattened, and kitchen utensils and magazines are put at the same level as the furniture legs.\n<br><br>\nCamnitzer originally conceived this idea in 1968 in the form of a model, an abstract box with words printed in the inner part of each of its sides. The work at 1:1 scale was first installed in Caracas in 1969, and has since been reproduced in different settings, both in Spanish and in English.\n<br><br>\nAs an Uruguayan artist landing in New York in the 1960s, during the birth of Conceptual Art, Camnitzer's work was both informed by the artistic avantgarde and the reality of the political situation he had left behind in Latin America. When he was a young student in Montevideo, he had fought to change the obsolete arts education system, and has remained involved in social justice movements during his entire career. His practice is based on the creation of \"transformative cultural acts\" as opposed to the production of objects that feed the speculative art market.\n<br><br>\nIn the <a href=\"https://issuu.com/museoreinasofia/docs/13_camnitzer\" target=\"_blank\">catalogue</a> for the exhibition on Camnitzer's work held in the Reina Sofía Museum in 2019, Octavio Zaya writes:\n<br><br>\n<i>'While, on the one hand, his practice revolves around the slippage between language and meaning, Camnitzer distinguishes it from Conceptual Art. The dematerialization of the artistic object and the relationship of art to knowledge, the singular characteristics of Conceptual Art, are certainly the basis on which Camnitzer establishes his proposals, but the artist's interest is not detained or focused on self-referentiality, the status of art, of its autonomy. For him, these questions are raised as thought processes that expand toward political and social realities. The juxtaposition and combination of texts, images, and objects point to the cognitive space of the senses and of experience.'</i>\n<br><br>\nDuring the opening of the exhibition in 1969, Camnitzer observed how the 2000 visitors interacted with the installation, and was pleased to watch them walk on the rug, as one would in the intimacy of their own home, while at the same time choosing not to step over the rest of words that described pieces of furniture. Viewers in attendance were consciously or unconsciously validating the concept behind the installation, that of the relationship between language and meaning.\nIn \"The Museum is a School\", a text that can also be read in the catalogue of his exhibition in Madrid, he writes:\n<br><br>\n<i>'Through looking at the work and making sense of things, the initiative is passed on to the receiver of the artwork. It is only at that point, we might say, that the work is completed. The sound of the tree falling in the forest comes to life when it ceases to be only a sound and becomes a sound that is heard. In this way, even without realizing it, the listener becomes the co-author.'</i>","work_author":"Luis Camnitzer","work_title":"Living Room","work_year":"1968-69"},"-M_o6eKzNLgNjROtlnen":{"date":1621150836150,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_337_.jpg?alt=media&token=04e4a2bb-f054-4248-b762-7a392c2a8ad2","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_337.jpg?alt=media&token=50d95fc2-1ee9-4d6a-8feb-996d3cee1d58","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"vilhelm-hammershøi"},{"text":"painting"},{"text":"1899"},{"text":"1800s"},{"text":"courtyard"},{"text":"EXTERIOR-ROOM"}],"text":"<i>‘Vilhelm Hammershøi, of all Danish painters the most still and silent, the master of the few and muted colours, is living over in the oldest Christianshavn in an ancient two-storey dilapidated court, whose half-timbered warehouses sway in and out and where the building’s subsiding walls must be braced with heavy timbers.

being a trainee under a master in the tradition of portraiture, Pieter Jansz. Saenredam shifted his attention to the representation of grand interior spaces, probably as a result of his acquaintance to architects and mathematicians, who showed him the art and methodology of perspective. While the trend at that moment was to use this acquired knowledge as a way of constructing imaginary spaces, Saenredam opted for portraying the interiors of existing Dutch churches, in a way unifying his new interest with his own education based on creating from reality.\n<br><br>\nHis way of working involved numerous preliminary drawings made on site, as well as plans and elevations to understand the proportions of its architectural elements. Final paintings would come later, sometimes even years after visiting the places depicted.\n<br><br>\nMost of his works portray the interior of churches, which after the Protestant Reformation were devoid of any Catholic iconography and elaborate decoration. The people who inhabit them are seen walking and talking in pairs or small groups, kids are sometimes playing on the floor. Rarely do they portray a religious act taking place, and the resulting images seem to portray the life on a public town square, only protected from weather inclemency.","work_author":"Pieter Jansz.

He used them as a tool to break free from the canonical perspective representation and produce multidimensional images that could simultaneously present various points of views.\n<br><br>\nHe would go on to use this technique in multiple ways in his work: as a way to understand and represent the context of a project in early stages of competitions, as documentation of the construction work on site, and even as a portrayal of the finished project. Away from the studio work, he would also make compositions of the type on family reunions and trips. \n<br><br>\nMies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House is arguably one of the most famous residences of the 20th century. It has been endlessly photographed as an ethereal construction floating on the natural landscape. Miralles' photocollage doesn't necessarily contradict this notion, but rather adds to it. It presents the house not as a precious object, but as part of a space. With the house placed on one side, the spectator's view travels through the garden to a bench from which to watch the house by –rectangular in its shape as the house is, appearing almost as big in size in the photographs–. From there, the view is extended towards the park, showing a probable promenade, a way to the house. With this montage, Miralles succeeds in presenting a personal portrayal of a famous house every architect knows, with intention and perception.","work_author":"Enric Miralles","work_title":"Photo-Collage of the Farnsworth House","work_year":"1990s"},"-McsH-uy7RvETt1aTTVj":{"date":1624441884419,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_c-trotignon_01.jpg?alt=media&token=9565160d-2e1d-438f-9ea8-bfd04572d5b5","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_c-trotignon_02.jpg?alt=media&token=258103e6-7456-4fb4-a293-253a94f0d640","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_c-trotignon_03.jpg?alt=media&token=d029e9f3-681b-4670-be77-12d3cf2c6b34","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_c-trotignon_04.jpg?alt=media&token=e45e28f1-b413-4960-9321-af78da850ed7","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_c-trotignon_05.jpg?alt=media&token=4ccf865c-419d-44ed-894e-ca26736d9754","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_c-trotignon_06.jpg?alt=media&token=b45dfe06-b1fc-44ee-a38f-542c08803f47","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_c-trotignon_07.jpg?alt=media&token=526cc4d7-76c1-407d-a57e-44adcb0c3279","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_c-trotignon_08.jpg?alt=media&token=0a380fb3-2f45-4084-a157-f1144f549068","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_c-trotignon_09.jpg?alt=media&token=1baa7620-5b46-4a2f-999d-dd08bd05e986","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_c-trotignon_10.jpg?alt=media&token=596e74ac-9eb6-4799-83f8-a9631c97f6e4","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_c-trotignon_11.jpg?alt=media&token=2e55792b-9a59-44c6-8ddc-b6fe60c1e914","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_c-trotignon_12.jpg?alt=media&token=f2103a57-b13b-4781-9fb0-33e283246b36","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_c-trotignon_13.jpg?alt=media&token=7da7ca4c-d14a-456f-bc72-20d6425e34b4","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_c-trotignon_14.jpg?alt=media&token=8263a073-4f70-40b6-a620-9da553cb3f5b","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_c-trotignon_15.jpg?alt=media&token=449d64c1-2497-4338-8465-875a0fa5df00","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_c-trotignon_16.jpg?alt=media&token=b69584dc-0f54-4a3c-96bc-676ed60d97b9","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"claire-trotignon"},{"text":"collage"},{"text":"2021"},{"text":"2020s"},{"text":"MATERIALITY"}],"text":"Hundreds of fragments of cut-out 19th century engravings construct oneiric universes in the collage works of French artist Claire Trotignon. The laborious, manual arrangement of bits and pieces makes up scenographic landscapes where nature and architecture collide. There is a sense of timelessness in the compositions, as a result of the superposition of drawings and patterns we subconsciously identify with antique books and maps, on top of a blank, immaterial canvas.\n<br><br>\nA sculptural volume generally takes the central stage, an ambiguous construction that seems to have erupted from the nature below, or rather a ruin that has been conquered by the surrounding landscape. An explosion of shapes and secondary spaces often erupt from the main one, like an archipelago of islands in the vast (white) sea. In spite of this description, the resulting works are not overrun by a sense of violence, but rather by a feeling of conscious incompleteness, of a choice between what to show and what to conceal.\n<br><br><br>\nMore on the artist <a href=\"https://clairetrotignon.tumblr.com\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>","work_author":"Claire Trotignon","work_title":"Cooler than a plastic ruler, ou

His teahouses are apparently primitive structures that do not resemble the architecture of traditional teahouses, and yet include all of the spatial rituals of the tea ceremony: the access through a small hole called the <i>nijiriguchi</i> (<i>'an entrance to a different world'</i>), the cramped dimensions (which follow a basic unit measured by the human body), the hearth (<i>'as a demonstration that the teahouse is a space for humans'</i>), the panels that open to the exterior (but which remain closed during the ceremony).","work_author":"Terunobu Fujimori","work_title":"Teahouses","work_year":"2000s"},"-MdbHQUW18xASNKwoTBK":{"date":1625230522400,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_doesburg_01.jpg?alt=media&token=ff9f54d0-a9e5-4eb3-b0ea-e127e0cbd51b","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_doesburg_02.jpg?alt=media&token=b118bf43-eee5-40e8-8668-36f40076b527","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_doesburg_03.jpg?alt=media&token=74601850-5d7d-4abf-8871-36f625fa262b","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_doesburg_04.jpg?alt=media&token=af37e2de-418b-40f3-ab9b-0261da49f549","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_doesburg_05.jpg?alt=media&token=9b520c95-cee3-4ee4-af8b-61bf57c55702","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_doesburg_06.jpg?alt=media&token=8e71278d-aac0-435a-a5ea-eb6863d75f9a","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"theo-van-doesburg"},{"text":"drawing"},{"text":"1920s"},{"text":"AXONOMETRY"},{"text":"COLOR"},{"text":"ABSTRACT-CONSTRUCTION"},{"text":"REPRESENTATION-OF-THE-ARCHITECTURAL-PROJECT"}],"text":"Theo van Doesburg, artist and founder of the de Stijl, became interested in the early 1920s in translating the principles of the movement to the three-dimensionality of architecture.

He believed that painting could serve as a laboratory for testing architectural ideas. These works in gouache were not intended as plans for a specific building but as abstract explorations of spatial relationships. Van Doesburg began with plans for private houses that he had developed with the architect Cornelis van Eesteren. Then he eliminated the signs of functional architecture: doors, windows, and roof are all absent, and no directional cues distinguish front from back.

Sanchez's vast body of pictorial work portrays architectural depictions of the Caribbean vernacular. He was born and raised in Cuba, studied in the U.S. and spent several decades travelling around the Caribbean (Mexico in particular) before finally settling in New York City after the Cuban Revolution. He found his own voice in this mixture of cultures and settled on a figurative style more informed by Edward Hopper and the Ashcan School artists than abstract expressionism, the prevailing style at that moment.\n<br><br>\nHis works (paintings, drawings, lithographs) are interested in construction, in the inside vs the outside, and in the spaces in between. Windows and sunshades filter the intense Southern light, but also create interesting shadows that compose semi-abstract figures on the walls. The wooden structures painted in bright colours have a rhythm of lines (vertical, horizontal), the result of a construction built by easily recognizable parts: the posts in the balustrade, the planks on the floor, the frames in the façade...\n<br><br>\nA set of black and white lithographs explores the configuration of built volumes in light and shade; another portrays entrance spaces from the inside, ornamented doors letting the light in.\n<br><br>\nAn article on the life and work of Emilio Sanchez by Victor Deupi can be read <a

The camera allows me to enter the lens is my eyes. The photo captures a memory. It’s Photo-shopped, printed in twelve parts, tiled together by aligning registration marks, glued to a wood panel creating one surface. Graphite and colored pencils re-touch, highlight and re-shade. Matt medium is applied and a final coat of Carnauba wax is buffed.

While less faithful to the appearance of the world seen from the human gaze, axonometry was more faithful to fact, to the way things are and how they are built. This is why this type of representation was later adopted for machinery detailing and architecture drawings.\n<br><br>\nAnother difference between the both of them is that where perspective is focused on a vanishing point from a fixed position of a viewer, axonometry does not have a singular focus, and so any representation could be theoretically stretched to infinity without distortion.\n<br><br>\nMore than just a way of depicting depth, axonometry in China and other Asian cultures represents a way of thinking, attached to a unified perception of time and space (Yu-Zhou in Chinese, Ma in Japan). Hand scroll painting is an expression of this. As viewers unroll the scroll, they are seeing a story develop in fragments united in a continuous, seamless image. \n<br><br>\nIn the case of Qiu Ying’s “Saying Farewell at Xunyang”, it’s the life along a river: its lush vegetation, the wooden constructions and its inhabitants along the way. The other side of the river is portrayed as being further away, smaller in size, so axonometry is not used here as a rigid, ‘perfect’ system, but rather one that allows for the continuity of the gaze.\n<br><br>\nConsidered to be one of the Four Masters of the Ming Dynasty, Chinese artist Qiu Ying was known for his highly detailed brush technique, which he applied to landscape and architectural scenes populated with a multitude of figures and their everyday life.\n<br><br><br>\nExplore the whole scroll in detail <a href=\"https://scrolls.uchicago.edu/view-scroll/163\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>\n<br>\nWe already published another work by Qiu Ying, <i>Spring Morning in the Han Palace</i>, and more information on the artist in an <a href=\"https://aseriesofrooms.com/#/asset/-MBwyf1uieXxVMZUN0sW\" target=\"_blank\">older entry</a>","work_author":"Qiu Ying","work_title":"Saying Farewell at Xunyang","work_year":"1500s"},"-MmCCU47ssUPEB8Sv_Td":{"date":1634456695153,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_curro-inza_01.jpg?alt=media&token=c9b32624-af41-4861-a7ee-1459235a40dc","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_curro-inza_02.jpg?alt=media&token=4207d98d-90b8-4e77-a475-d87a6b321ffe","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_curro-inza_03.jpg?alt=media&token=117ed944-351b-407e-8b6d-c9f7276d5b1d","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_curro-inza_04.jpg?alt=media&token=d4b49d27-4095-46a6-99cb-418b2c152bd6","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_curro-inza_05.jpg?alt=media&token=a25450d7-b5b7-4ec1-a1b6-d5b8c917bbcd","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"curro-inza"},{"text":"1974"},{"text":"1970s"},{"text":"bedroom"},{"text":"REPRESENTATION-OF-THE-ARCHITECTURAL-PROJECT"},{"text":"AXONOMETRY"},{"text":"RADICAL-WAYS-OF-LIVING"}],"text":"Situated near Baqueira/Beret, the largest ski resort in Spain, the small town of Vielha is a touristic winter spot that needs to accommodate thousands of skiers every year. In his project for a holiday apartment building, Curro Inza focused his attention on providing the interiors of these apartments with the flexibility to allow for large numbers of people to sleep together. \n<br><br>\nIn a similar manner to the way Yona Friedman or Ricardo Bofill imagined cities in space, Inza creates a three-dimensional array of beds in space, a labyrinthine disposition of platforms at different heights where individual beds are superimposed in a way that provides the illusion of some privacy from one to another. While the floor plans and sections already hint at the spatial complexity of the projects, it is in the axonometrics that the idea can be fully comprehended.\n<br><br>\nSpanish architect Francisco de Inza, known as Curro Inza, is virtually unknown to most architects, even in Spain.

painter Vilhelm Hammershøi (1864-1916) took inspiration from everyday life, painting time and again the same scenes of the home and studio he shared with his wife Ida in Copenhagen. The spaces appear almost empty, with only some furniture that moves around from one painting to another and the occasional figure of his wife sewing or reading. The interiors show an atmosphere of calm and austere domesticity, and are in great part defined by the natural light coming in from the windows.\n<br><br><br>\nSome fragments from Christie’s lot essays (<a href=\"https://www.christies.com/lot/lot-6229360\" target=\"_blank\">1</a>, <a href=\"https://www.christies.com/lot/lot-5620316\" target=\"_blank\">2</a>, <a href=\"https://www.christies.com/lot/lot-6202446\" target=\"_blank\">3</a>):\n<br><br>\n<i>\"The continuing fascination of Hammershøi's interiors lies precisely in an irresolvable tension between a representation of concrete objects carefully selected from the world surrounding the artist and a compositional rigor focusing on thin glazes of muted color, an arrangement of objects and figures which negates the narrative context of everyday life, and a structure of lines. These compositional elements appeal to modern eyes trained on abstract art, while the subject matter carries the weight of art historical tradition. The result has often been described as 'stillness.' Yet the meaning of the word relates to sound or movement rather than to what is actually happening: we are made to pause in perception and absorb the enigma —and delight—of a purely visual experience outside the realm of abstraction.\" (Susanne Meyer-Abich)\n<br><br>\n“Hammershøi himself considered the underlying structure of his paintings most important. In an interview in 1908, he stated, ‘What makes me choose a subject is as much the structure of the subject, what I would call the architectural complexity of the picture. And of course, the light. It is also of importance, but it is the structure I emphasize, colors are not that relevant. I work a lot on finding a harmonious balance, but it is foremost the structure I am focusing on’. It is this search for the inherent structure of composition which presents the viewer with an almost geometrical abstract.”\n<br><br>\n“Hammershøi's interiors are most often compared to those of Johannes Vermeer, with whom he shared a sense of poetry and nuanced lighting. However, Hammershøi's compositions are pared down to combine a sense of domestic intimacy with a feeling of detachment from the clutter of everyday existence. This paucity of objects combines with muted colours to create paintings that exude a sense of pristine silence and calm.”</i>\n<br><br><br>\nOther works by Hammershøi published in A Series of Rooms <a

practice Ballman Khapalova have designed a foundation for abstract painter Joan Waltemath in an old building in Hooper, Nebraska, by understanding its context at very different scales: “the surrounding agricultural landscape of the Jeffersonian grid, and a grid internal to the building itself that results from a relationship between its window openings and columns”. \n<br><br>\n“Through a process that overlays and interweaves these two conceptual elements, the intent was to tie the building to the land through architectural language and spatial distribution, dealing primarily with the variations and permutations that occur as an ideal grid meets real conditions of nature, program, and material.”\n<br><br>\n“The architecture of the project takes the form of six programmatic clusters — stage/display, utility, cooking, resting, cleansing/changing, storage — and the spaces that are formed between them (gallery, gathering, working).  Each cluster is conceived of both as an independent structure and as a portion of a larger field. The entire building can function as a gallery and public space, with the most private function of sleeping contained in a single small volume on the second floor.”\n<br><br><br>\nMore info on the project on the architects' <a href=\"https://www.ballkhap.com/waltemath-foundation\" target=\"_blank\">website</a>\n<br>\nMore info on an exhibition of drawings of the project in Cooper Union <a href=\" https://cooper.edu/events-and-exhibitions/exhibitions/waltemath-foundation\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>\n<br>\nA conversation between Joan Waltemath and Peter Ballman <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UibHzVDL9xg\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>","work_author":"Ballman Khapalova","work_title":"Waltemath Foundation","work_year":"2018- (ongoing)"},"-MpGdMa1gqYDBrRCc_Th":{"date":1637752338893,"images":[{"author":"Reyner Banham (illustrated by François Dallegret)","title":"A Home is Not a House","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy_011_01.jpg?alt=media&token=d4b1591d-dcac-4553-ac00-afb21f977be7","year":"1965"},{"author":"Andrea Palladio","title":"Villa Rotonda","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy_011_02.jpg?alt=media&token=bfc584cd-ca11-4097-9a51-9dc57f66be5c","year":"1571"},{"author":"Amy Heckerling","title":"Clueless","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy_011_03.jpg?alt=media&token=a350bf04-edc5-4c50-878c-24fbb4ade207","year":"1995"},{"author":"","title":"Munger Hall","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy_011_04.jpg?alt=media&token=2aaa460c-a1aa-4665-98ea-8a7f9a8b8385","year":"2021"}],"tags":[{"text":"-ANALOGIES-"},{"text":"reyner-banham"},{"text":"françois-dallegret"},{"text":"andrea-palladio"},{"text":"charlie-munger"},{"text":"REPRESENTATION-OF-THE-ARCHITECTURAL-PROJECT"},{"text":"ABSTRACT-PORTRAIT"},{"text":"DEFINITION-OF-A-ROOM"},{"text":"MATERIALITY"},{"text":"NEW-TECHNOLOGIES"},{"text":"RADICAL-WAYS-OF-LIVING"}],"text":"<i>‘When your house contains such a complex of piping, flues, ducts, wires, lights, inlets, outlets, ovens, sinks, refuse disposers, hi-fi reverberators, antennae, conduits, freezers, heaters – when it contains so many services that the hardware could stand up by itself without any assistance from the house, why have a house to hold it up?’</i>\n<br><br>\nIn “A Home is Not a House”, Banham describes American architecture as plumbing over construction, campfire over shell. The house itself, he argues, serves the only purpose of concealing mechanics from <i>‘the stares of folks on the sidewalk’</i>.\n<br><br>\nThe iconic drawing “Anatomy of a Dwelling” by Dallegret accompanying the text portrays the modern home as a mechanical heart where arteries, veins and vessels have been substituted by various types of gadgetry. A modern hearth for the modern dweller. <i>‘The house itself has been omitted from the drawing, but if mechanical services continue to accumulate at this rate it may be possible to omit the house in fact.’</i>\n<br><br>\nRe-reading the text last week for a lecture we called “The House is Not a Machine”, we were interested in the contrast between this image and Palladio’s Villa Rotonda. Another icon, one without a single tube. Any interior comfort was achieved by the construction of its shell. Palladian architecture, the epitome of “good” architecture in the eyes of American founders and their successors, but in appearance only.\n<br><br>\nOne could argue that Banham’s vision no longer applies only to American architecture, but rather to a globalized world of an International Style of sameness. After all, if all those pipes and ducts and wires serve to provide an interior level of comfort that is similar all around, regardless of the place where it is built, why should the appearance of the shell matter?\n<br><br>\nBut then again, it is in California that billionaire Charlie Munger is proposing (or imposing) the design of a university dormitory where 90% of its 4500 bedrooms would be windowless. In a time when a great part of the architectural profession is moving towards sustainable construction and acquiring comfortable interiors through passive methods, the American one percent wants students to live in cubicles where “natural” light will be simulated in a TV screen and “natural” ventilation will be mechanically propelled. The next step in non-place-ness. It will never be a successful piece of architecture, but it might get built all over the world anyway. As for the external image of the complex? It could have been built in the 19th century.\n<br><br><br>\n\"A Home is not a House\" full text <a href=\"http://mindcontrol-research.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/4_banham_home_not_house.pdf\"

Escher is best known for his ‘impossible constructions’, which combine the exactitude of mathematics with his skilled proficiency with representation tools. Fantasy and realism come together.\n<br><br>\nIn his quest to express endlessness, he became fixated with mirrored surface spheres, which have the ability to reflect the almost totality of the space that surrounds them, except for the fragment just behind them. In translating the reflected vision into a flat surface, he intuitively used what would later be called curvilinear perspective, a type of graphical projection that was studied in the late 1950s and 1960s by André Barre and Albert Flocon, in part after the latter bought a book on Escher and started to correspond with the artist on the subject.\n<br><br>\nDuring his career, Escher produced a series of self-portraits in which the spherical surface mirrors the rooms in which they were done. The earliest example, a woodcut produced while he was still a student, sees him reflected on the surface of a lamp in the cathedral of Sint-Bavo in Haarlem, his tiny figure surrounded by the grandiosity of the sacred space. In latter works, spanning decades, his own self takes a more central role, framed by the domestic spaces in which he worked.","work_author":"M. C.

They are confronted with incompatible space-times, with their human condition, their limits, their weakness or their creative power.”</i>","work_author":"Thierry Mandon","work_title":"Inside - outside / Tableau vivant","work_year":"2018 / 2008"},"-Mtbeftv6g-Ql490WZLd":{"date":1642416750275,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ranner_01.jpg?alt=media&token=3f06a1c1-63f9-4a9c-81d6-bbef8d67753c","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ranner_02.jpg?alt=media&token=94cc5185-2574-4abe-8f28-ec3a6ef53b5d","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ranner_03.jpg?alt=media&token=d5105bd4-d6c7-4e1f-a233-aa597931ddbb","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ranner_04.jpg?alt=media&token=0863bff4-98a5-4e9c-86f2-bfaa323e10c6","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ranner_05.jpg?alt=media&token=5ab7801f-a4e9-48c3-81ab-2cc214069513","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ranner_06.jpg?alt=media&token=70f5f955-3402-4bee-9958-3df0dcdea6e7","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"alexandra-ranner"},{"text":"model"},{"text":"2000s"},{"text":"MATERIALITY"}],"text":"<i>“Alexandra Ranner is an artist working in the mediums of spatial installations, sculpture, film and photography.

artist Giorgio Morandi could produce a painting in just a few hours, but he spent much more time constructing the composition, working with objects and space to achieve the desired balance. Neither transparent nor reflectant, the bottles, pots and vases are stripped from their function and become shapes of primary hues, arranged one next to another and against the negative space in the back. The repetition of the same objects as motifs in his paintings provides a sense of familiarity, of repetition as well as singularity.\n<br><br>\nIn a video in an exhibition currently in La Pedrera, a colleague delves into Morandi’s work method as he reminisces an afternoon spent in his room as he was working. There was no canvas on the easel, neither paint nor tools in sight. He was assembling a set of pots on the table, moving them, seeing how they related one to another and what shapes emerged. At the same time, he was constantly adjusting the window shutters to calibrate the amount of light coming in, to see how it affected the composition.","work_author":"Giorgio Morandi","work_title":"Nature morte (Still Lifes)"},"-MwfUeTqti50VVbJjU-S":{"date":1645702195184,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_urbain-jardin_01.jpg?alt=media&token=0ca93421-e8d1-4129-8a0d-e0390c01e73a","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_urbain-jardin_02.jpg?alt=media&token=5e0f58c6-75ff-4899-9406-97b4fabf172c","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_urbain-jardin_03.jpg?alt=media&token=63fb7720-50ca-49e9-b442-b7032992a108","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_urbain-jardin_04.jpg?alt=media&token=1ca78522-6da1-44e0-8ee4-25452f52274a","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_urbain-jardin_05.jpg?alt=media&token=fcaee26a-d11f-488e-8a79-8bac1e2638bb","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_urbain-jardin_06.jpg?alt=media&token=cf479597-391d-4e47-84d4-43311be6a7ab","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_urbain-jardin_07.jpg?alt=media&token=55efbce4-e3d7-4234-a76e-8a0967d45d78","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_urbain-jardin_08.jpg?alt=media&token=28194705-dff5-4f9d-8a77-ca60a030c3ef","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_urbain-jardin_09.jpg?alt=media&token=39451428-bb49-495c-a8dc-cc3e417e82b3","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"thierry-urbain"},{"text":"photography"},{"text":"2020s"},{"text":"2020"},{"text":"ABSTRACT-CONSTRUCTION"},{"text":"EXTERIOR-ROOM"}],"text":"French artist Thierry Urbain constructs imagined spaces of ancient buildings, as part of a research initiated in the 1980s focused on architecture, archaeology and landscape.\n<br><br>\n“These architectures have always appeared to me as hieratic and timeless locations open to fiction and human science in which geography and history might be presented as utopias.

artist Yvonne Jacquette became interested in representing cities and landscapes from above while flying on a plane in 1969. Later in the 1970s she started painting nocturnal scenes, in which the bright lights of the city (street lamps, car lights, illuminated interiors seen through the buildings’ windows) became their main compositional elements.\n<br><br>\nAt times, these rooms seen from outside are just bright squares on a dark canvas, their brightness revealing the presence of its inhabitants inside. At other moments, there is a transparency that allows us to peak in. Or just the opposite, the glass reflects its surroundings and the interior is concealed: what we see is what the people inside is seeing from their windows.\n<br><br>\nMore recent paintings and drawings delve into the city as a composite, a collage of urban textures in which architectural styles are super-imposed one to another, with New York City’s water deposits in their characteristic rocket shape as arrows pointing to the sky.","work_author":"Yvonne

part of a larger exhibition called MATTER, artist Amy Stacey Curtis attempted to recreate <i>‘all the matter in her home including herself, 104,663 objects (any object at least 1/8\" including individual food items, i.e. each pea, cracker, ice cube). The 18 drawings represent each object drawn where it existed the moment she drew it.’</i>\n<br><br>\nEach of the 18 drawings portray one of the house’s rooms in floorplan view, its perimeter defined by a fine line. Rather than the individuality of each of the objects, the drawing emphasizes the density of accumulation. Those areas where objects are kept –drawers, cabinets, shelves– are tainted in black as a result of the superimposition of layers of lines, while empty parts of the floor space are left blank.\n<br><br>\nThere is no intention of “beautifying” the drawings with carefully placed rugs and tropical plants. On the contrary, the resulting images convey an atmosphere of unfiltered reality based on the analytical observation of the everyday domestic space.\n<br><br>\nImages via the artist's <a

in the late 1950s and during the next five decades, German photographers Bernd and Hilla Becher set on to document anonymous, vernacular structures in series of photographs they would then arrange in grids of typologies of similar constructions. Their approach to the medium, which greatly differed from what photographers were doing at the time, set them on a category of their own, and would go on to influence the future of photography.\n<br><br>\nAt the time, however, they saw themselves as natural historians, objectively recording the built environment in rigorous portrayals that would always follow the same guidelines: frontal, in isolation, against an overcast sky (no direct sunlight). Their methodical approach earned them the admiration of conceptual artists, and were often exhibited among them.\n<br><br>\nRepresented here are the portraits of houses built with wooden frames in the Siegen region in Germany between 1870 and 1914. The slight differences in the placing of the windows and the beams creates an array of almost identical archetypal pitched roof houses, which reveal their differences upon a closer look.\n<br><br>\nFrom the Framework Houses book:\n<br><br>\n<i>“The houses were built by immigrants who came to work in the mines or blast furnace plants. In 1790 a law was enacted to save wood for iron production by preventing its excessive use for house-building. The law prescribed the amount of lumber structurally required and forbade the construction of elements serving only ornamental purposes. It also specified the maximum strength for beams, sills, cornerposts, and studs. A functional framework, combined with neoclassical proportions, determined the new type of house.”</i>","work_author":"Bernd and Hilla Becher","work_title":"Framework Houses","work_year":"1960-72"},"-N2VmTKGz1HuNRM81CIu":{"date":1653038769579,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_magritte-dialectics_01.jpg?alt=media&token=14734494-9b06-4bc7-b0e0-113457efd4f8","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_magritte-dialectics_02.jpg?alt=media&token=32f5196c-2ab6-409b-bddc-74a4c2587894","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"rene-magritte"},{"text":"painting"},{"text":"1937"},{"text":"1930s"},{"text":"1948"},{"text":"1940s"},{"text":"IN-AND-OUT"},{"text":"OUT-OF-PLACE-OUT-OF-SCALE"},{"text":"REPETITION"}],"text":"<i>“From the 1930s, Magritte sought to find ‘solutions’ to particular ‘problems’ posed by different types of objects, a method that enabled him to challenge and reconfigure the most ubiquitous and commonplace elements of everyday life. These problems obsessed him until he was able to conceive of an image to solve them.\n<br><br>\nHe explained these concepts in a lecture he gave in 1938, titled, La ligne de vie.\n<br><br>\nThis philosophical method had come to him after waking from a dream in 1932. In his semi-conscious state, he looked over at a birdcage that was in his room and saw not the bird that inhabited the cage, but instead an egg. This ‘splendid misapprehension’ allowed him to grasp, in his own words, ‘a new and astonishing poetic secret’.\n<br><br>\nThe pursuit of secret, unknown or unacknowledged ‘elective affinities’ between related objects became the abiding purpose of Magritte’s art from this point onwards. \n<br><br>\nTaking often quotidian imagery and objects from the everyday world and juxtaposing, metamorphosing, enlarging, shrinking, or transforming their material or elemental qualities in some way, Magritte successfully realized his desire to lay bare the mystery he believed was inherent in reality. Magritte solved the “problem of the house,” in his words: “through an open window in the house-front I showed a room containing in its turn a house”.”</i>\n<br><br><br>\nFragments excerpted from two texts in Christie's website (<a href=\"https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-6368114\" target=\"_blank\">here</a> and <a href=\"https://www.christies.com/features/10-things-to-know-about-Rene-Magritte-8077-1.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>)\n<br>\nMore on Magritte in <a href=\"https://aseriesofrooms.com/#/tag/rene-magritte\" target=\"_blank\">previous posts</a>","work_author":"René Magritte","work_title":"Eloge de la dialectique","work_year":"1948/1937"},"-N3TZNwdDWnagkcR--rO":{"date":1654075264877,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_352.jpg?alt=media&token=7db0a1b7-6824-4036-8bab-7fc40198a337","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_352_.jpg?alt=media&token=e07fcf9d-f941-4636-a868-0cfe7071b7ba","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_352__.jpg?alt=media&token=8f5206ef-5a0c-40cc-8390-ce4625bb621f","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"purkhu-of-kangra"},{"text":"painting"},{"text":"1800s"},{"text":"A-PARTICULAR-POINT-OF-VIEW"},{"text":"IN-AND-OUT"}],"text":"Multiple stories and timelines coexist in this painting, as different characters, identifiable by their clothing, react to each other’s actions: <i>“Blue-skinned Krishna accompanied by white Balarama arrives at Mathura, locates the golden bow of Kamsa and much to the amazement of the onlookers breaks it in half, Kamsa in green is woken by the sound of the bow breaking and orders his guards to attack Krishna”</i> (description via <a href=\"https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-5901027\" target=\"_blank\">Christie's</a>).\n<br><br>\nRather than depicting one single moment, the image depicts a sequence of events.

With their evocations of the ecstatic possibilities residing within geometric frames, Ray’s small paintings realize a romanticism disciplined by abstraction.”</i>\n<br><br>\nFragment from the <a href=\"https://nicellebeauchene.com/exhibitions/eleanor-ray-2/\" target=\"_blank\">press release</a> for an exhibition in Nicelle Beauchene Gallery\n<br><br>\nMore on Eleanor Ray's works in a <a href=\"https://aseriesofrooms.com/#/asset/-Lv9ocAixWkJ948U0KE8\" target=\"_blank\">previous post</a>","work_author":"Eleanor Ray","work_title":"Paintings","work_year":"2021"},"-N5F5U0QrfN9x3229nhA":{"date":1655980028040,"images":[{"author":"Unknown Author (Italian)","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy_012_01.jpg?alt=media&token=37ad93f6-df45-498e-a068-b441aab839b7","year":"ca. 1470-73"},{"author":"Juan de la Corte","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy_012_02.jpg?alt=media&token=6d49050f-c332-463f-a53a-0ff670901221","year":"ca. 1630-60"},{"author":"Francesco del Cossa","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy_012_03.jpg?alt=media&token=43d37a15-8810-4128-93d3-bebaa633fa9b","year":"1400s"},{"author":"Piero della Francesca","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy_012_04_.jpg?alt=media&token=5af7393e-1840-4065-8bc6-87b0444aa7dc","year":"ca. 1452-66"},{"author":"Lorenzo Ghiberti","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy_012_05.jpg?alt=media&token=d98739bf-cad8-4efd-82bf-6ec0083deb67","year":"1425"},{"author":"Master of Lecceto","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy_012_06.jpg?alt=media&token=43eb6467-3e61-4d54-8d28-6987fde68884","year":"ca. 1450-75"},{"author":"Apollonio di Giovanni","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy_012_07.jpg?alt=media&token=8455f3b9-cce0-4825-ad1e-d02e7d591339","year":"ca. 1464-65"},{"author":"Dirck van Delen","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy_012_08.jpg?alt=media&token=e92fb529-dd5f-4f03-a64c-c165d4c6ef4e","year":"1642"},{"author":"Unknown Author (British)","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_analogy_012_09.jpg?alt=media&token=2ce16fff-a549-4d4c-93e2-6e928303a662","year":"ca.1700"}],"tags":[{"text":"-ANALOGIES-"},{"text":"painting"},{"text":"juan-de-la-corte"},{"text":"piero-della-francesca"},{"text":"lorenzo-ghiberti"},{"text":"master-of-lecceto"},{"text":"apollonio-di-giovanni"},{"text":"dirck-van-delen"},{"text":"1400s"},{"text":"1600s"},{"text":"REPETITION"},{"text":"PEOPLE-GET-TOGETHER"}],"text":"Biblical scenes are interpreted and re-interpreted throughout history by the artists portraying them.

Scaled up to a billboard size, it was the only piece hanging on the interior of the museum. In parallel, that same image was displayed in 24 billboards around the city. Just the image, with no text or any other annotation that would explain its presence.\n<br><br>\n<i>'The juxtaposition of an image that we are inclined to read as private and a space usually conceived of as public is what Gonzalez-Torres would describe as an “illogical meeting”. When we call something illogical, we are essentially saying that it runs counter to our expectations. A bed, for instance, might most simply be defined as one of the smallest amounts of space that we can call our own. Some of our most basic associations with this familiar piece of furniture –its human scale, its domestic location– are upset.'\n<br><br>\n'In displaying his work not only within the relatively intimate space of the museum but also outdoors, the artist challenges yet another assumption. Most of this exhibition is not here in the museum –where we naturally expect it to be– but elsewhere. Museumgoers enter the gallery only to find that the artist wants to send them back out into the world.'\n<br><br>\n'By presenting this work in 24 locations, the artist shifts emphasis away from the photograph’s content to its context. Through its reiteration, what becomes distinctive is not the image, but what surrounds it.'\n<br><br>\n'What is important is the idea of passage, from museum to street, from the personal (the loss of a loved one) to the political (the loss of privacy), from private to public, and then back again. At issue are notions of change and renewal, the idea that meanings are not static but shift according to who we are and where we are at any given moment.'</i>\n<br><br>\n(Fragments from the exhibition catalogue, written by Anne Umland)\n<br><br>\nPortrayed in the image is not only an unmade bed, but the absence of those who don’t get to sleep on it anymore. Gonzalez-Torres’s partner had recently died, in the middle of the AIDS pandemic that would ultimately take the artist’s life too in 1996.

During three weeks we accompanied the students with online lectures that aimed to explore the archive of A Series of Rooms and the possibilities of the domestic space.\n<br><br>\nThe first week dealt with space. With each student choosing a work published in A Series of Rooms as a referential starting point, we asked: What is a room? What is it that makes a space domestic? Throughout history, space has been portrayed in an infinity of ways. Some more interested in materiality, geometry or colour; others dealing with the life of its inhabitants and their belongings; and yet many others that see the domestic space as a field of experimentation.\n<br><br>\nThe second week was focused on objects within the space, as the students were given an object by their teachers that had to be placed within the space they were composing. In this talk, we explored different works in which an object or a sum of objects take a central spot on the image. We started with some images that offered a conventional, yet interesting approach. We then explored the importance of things, of objects, in relation to their owners, and what do our objects say about us. We talked about works that manipulate the object by changing its scale, place or function. And finally, we talked about portrayals of objects that steer away from figuration.\n<br><br>\nThe third and final week dealt with the representation of a three-dimensional space in an image. In architecture and design, representation is the tool that we use to bridge the gap between the mental realm and the physical reality. In this very large topic, we focused on the representation of space throughout history and the technical and cultural differences between axonometric and perspective. Finally, we explored some contemporary examples of representation to give the students ideas to use in their own works.\n<br><br>\nAt the end of the studio, we travelled to London and visited the project exhibition. The students’ works surprised us in their variety and quality. Starting from the very vast archive of A Series of Rooms, each student had found an interest of their own. In the development of the project, the students were able to create works that were indebted to the reference of their choosing and the object they had received, while at the same time imprinting their personal voice, interests and abilities to the ending result.\n<br><br>\nThese are some of the students’ works, which include a vast variety of approaches. Some are interested in the representation of space or the construction of an image. Others delve into the stories behind the references they chose, and how they relate to their own history and experiences. In other cases, students were intellectually motivated by the more profound concepts behind the works. And yet another group found in some artists a different way of living, and delved into what that meant in their own work.","title":"RCA x ‘A Series of Rooms’ – A creative exploration of the concept of the ‘room’"},"-NLVVXtdIt9MLHP-cxYg":{"date":1673435164278,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_353.jpg?alt=media&token=14cef407-2185-404e-80c7-f65b63e51f05","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"allan-wexler"},{"text":"drawing"},{"text":"2021"},{"text":"2020s"},{"text":"AXONOMETRY"}],"work_author":"Allan Wexler","work_title":"Study for a Table for Nine – 02-D.

Trees of different species are shown in lines, creating pathways inside the very clearly defined enclosure. Ponds are shown in an aerial view, while the ducks are seen on their side. The same happens with the few architectural constructions depicted. There is an economy of means in this type of representation: each element is shown in the way it will be best understood.\n<br><br>\nWhile axonometric projection is said to have been developed in China around 2000 years ago as a way to represent space in three dimensions, these Egyptian paintings found in tombs, re-discovered only a few centuries ago, might be the earliest depiction of three-dimensional space in a two-dimension surface.\n<br><br>\nThe drawings developed by OMA for the “Parc de la Villette” competition follow a similar principle.

On the right, the exterior space (a street, a garden), where the view of the buildings is tilted, with a diagonal from the lower right corner. Structures on the background become smaller to further emphasize the idea of depth.\n<br><br>\nThe same two people inside the bedroom are also outside of it. The vertical line that appears at approximately 2/5s of the image separates both space and time.

artist and printmaker Christopher Pratt has described his artworks, which balance the geometric precision of construction elements with the surrounding landscape in which their architecture is placed, as existing in the space between the abstract and the figurative, between the planned and the natural. \n<br><br>\n<i>“The paintings have a timeless and idealized quality to them. Pratt achieves this by concentrating on the abstract elements of design. The surfaces are flat, the compositions are frontal. The paintings are very carefully organized and precisely executed. Every thing inessential is eliminated from the subject. Through abstraction the ordinary becomes the archetypal. Christopher Pratt has always believed that there is an immense presence in ordinariness. He celebrates the non-exotic, the anti-picturesque.”</i> <br>(text from the <a href=\"https://www.gallery.ca/collection/artist/christopher-pratt\" target=\"_blank\">National Gallery of

as one of the leading American Conceptual and Postminimal artists in the 1960s and 1970s, Bochner pioneered the play between the characteristics of numerical values, space, and language in his work.\n<br><br>\nIn May 1969 Bochner realized the first works in his ongoing measurement series, using black tape to draw simple, linear segments across the surfaces of Dia cofounder Heiner Friedrich’s Munich gallery. Punctuating these lines were numbers that corresponded to the length of the measured surface: the width of a window bay, the height of a doorframe, and so on.

Some fragments contained in the text:\n<br><br>\nOn the archive and its public dimension – <i>A Series of Rooms is an independent research project that aims to explore the construction and representation of the essential architectural space, the room, from a multidisciplinary point of view.  Self-initiated in 2016, in parallel to our first works as an architectural studio – which dealt mostly with the refurbishment of existing domestic spaces –, A Series of Rooms was originally conceived as an investigation into the housing archetype, an atlas of «different ways of living and different ways of seeing». (...) Periodically publishing the results of this research has given a public dimension to the work, and has allowed others to re-interpret its content. Over the years, the archive has become a widely used didactic tool in universities around the world, with or without our direct involvement.</i>\n<br><br>\nOn referencing in the times we live in – <i>Reference searching used to be an active exploration of specialized, physical media, in the form of books and magazines that were discovered in libraries and bookshops. Current students, however, are digital natives whose predominant source of information is an electronic device in constant contact with their own body. If given no other input for a studio project but a site and a program, students hunt for inspiration in the world they already inhabit: internet search engines and social media. The pervasive overabundance of imagery in all facets of life means architectural references are found next to memes, viral dances, football best moments, make-up tricks, and/or any other niche interest they might rejoice in. As users become passive recipients of algorithm compiled, de-contextualized content, images become flattened – and the effort required to enquire further on their origin and significance appears to be redundant.</i>\n<br><br>\nA Series of Rooms as a basis for the project – <i>A Series of Rooms is an image-based collection of thousands of works from authors from very diverse backgrounds and produced in a wide variety of mediums. The images are not visually similar, and therefore browsing the archive is not a narrowing experience but an expansive one. Because most of the works contained in it are not architectural design per se, they offer the possibility of engaging with ideas about spatiality in an abstract way. In the more specific context of projects that deal with housing, the archive is used as a basis to reflect on the domestic space from a non-projective point of view (artistic, historical, social, geographical…), allowing students to challenge preconceived ideas and open their minds to the possibilities of inhabitation. This approach proposes students to work from a place of uncertainty and intuition, and build from there. Rather than working towards the achievement of a supposed ideal contained in an image, the image becomes a starting point. It is generative rather than aspirational.</i>\n<br><br>\nA Series of Rooms as a basis for the representation of the project – <i>Architecture is based on the sensory perception of space with your body, and yet the great majority of students’ projects never get to be built. Plans, texts, models and three-dimensional visualizations become the only (physical or virtual) manifestation of the process of the students’ work. Representation is therefore an essential part of the studio, the tool that allows to bridge the gap between the mental realm and the outer world. Understanding its possibilities during all the phases of the project provides students with the means to communicate better to others, and even to themselves. At the same time, with the arrival of easily available digital tools and the blending of traditional and contemporary techniques, the possibilities of representation in architecture have become endless. While the photo-realistic render and the collage are ubiquitous, several young practices are exploring alternatives and shifting towards more tactile, less precise, depictions of space. Working with a wide range of references helps students broaden their options. Seeing different styles of representation allows them to find the approach that best captures the ideas of their project. Beyond the diversity of techniques, though, the fact is that most images contained in A Series of Rooms are not representations of architectural projects, but visualizations of space from multiple points of view. The works have their own agency, unattached from a preexisting project.</i>\n<br><br>\nA Series of Rooms as a reference in itself: the archive as a project – <i>The value of an archive is not in the individual works that are contained in it, but on the relationships that appear between them. Through an accumulative process, new significances are revealed. Seemingly disconnected ideas can come together in a layered ensemble that has value in itself. It is a fluctuating device, in which every new addition has the power to contribute to an evolving dialogue. In navigating the ever-increasing media landscape, creating an archive of references of one’s own is an exercise of distillation. It is instrumental in the formation of one’s criteria and provides a sense of agency or purpose in our consumption of images and other types of media. Beyond the interest of the archive in itself, what is most noteworthy is how the knowledge acquired spreads into other aspects of the practice. The acts of researching, reflecting, discerning and cataloguing train the students’ views and capacity to make more precise decisions.</i>\n<br><br>\nThe essay draws from our own experience as guest lecturers in different universities – Umeå School of Architecture in Sweden, Royal College of Art in London –, as well as from a series of conversations that took place in late February and early March 2023.

his book ‘Vermeer’s Camera’, British architect Philip Steadman set up to practically prove an idea that had been first proposed in the 19th century, according to which Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer used a camera obscura to construct the compositions of his paintings.\n<br><br>\nVermeer painted a significant amount of his work in one room, his studio in Delft. Reverse-engineering the perspective, Steadman went from the two-dimensional image of the painting to the three-dimensional scene, which he represented in floorplan, elevation and axonometric. This method allowed him to find the exact point of view for each of them. When he elongated the lines of the viewpoint back to the wall, he found that in most cases the rectangle defined in the wall was also the exact size of Vermeer’s painting, which would be too much of a coincidence.\n<br><br>\nAfter reading both this book and David Hockney’s Secret Knowledge, engineer and inventor Tim Jenison was fascinated not only by the probable use of a camera obscura to construct perfect perspectives, but also for Vermeer’s masterful portrayal of light, which he felt was too perfect and photographic to have been achieved only via observation through the human eye.\n<br><br>\nHe used his own knowledge on optics to build a relatively simple artifact of lenses and mirrors that he argues could be similar to the one he imagines Vermeer used. He rebuilt Vermeer’s room in a storage facility in Texas and proceeded to paint “The Music Lesson” using this artifact and no prior knowledge of brush work. The whole process, including interviews with both Hockney and Steadman was filmed for the documentary ‘Tim’s Vermeer’, a portrayal of the discovery of a process that may or may not be accurate, but is nonetheless fascinating.\n<br><br><br>\nAn interview with Philip Steadman and the source of the images <a href=\"http://www.essentialvermeer.com/interviews_newsletter/steadman_interview.html\" target=\"_blank\">here</a> and <a href=\"http://www.essentialvermeer.com/vermeers_rooms.html\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>\n<br>\nA video of Philip Steadman succinctly explaining his method and that of Tim Jenison <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rXRevUKrKI\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>\n<br>\nMore info on Tim’s Vermeer <a href=\"https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3089388/\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>","work_author":"Philip Steadman","work_title":"Vermeer’s Camera","work_year":"2001"},"-NjMs5pDZwWLkvNH9zz0":{"date":1700133891390,"images":[{"author":"Franz Erhard Walther","title":"49 Nesselplatten","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_archives_01.jpg?alt=media&token=57184463-9a5d-4c94-96ee-2cd7191a739f","year":"1963"},{"author":"David Teniers the Younger","title":"Archduke Leopold Wilhelm in his gallery in Brussels","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_archives_02.jpg?alt=media&token=b8c6934c-036d-4c11-a26b-548040d2f790","year":"ca. 1647-1651"},{"author":"","title":"André Malraux in his studio, selecting the images for Le musée imaginaire","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_archives_03.jpg?alt=media&token=4ac20b1c-7a0a-4afb-a171-aa6533f8b5a0","year":"published in 1952"},{"author":"Riccardo Maria Chiacchio","title":"Chille ch'e' ncuolle a tte n'e' rroba toja","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_archives_04.jpg?alt=media&token=e7e2290c-d920-44a4-9896-62f064db9dd1","year":"2020"},{"author":"Ferrante Imperato","title":"Engraving of Ferrante Imperato’s collection in Naples, published in Dell’Historia Naturale","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_archives_05.jpg?alt=media&token=decf7e00-a745-4e54-ab98-8a88c8643220","year":"1599"},{"author":"Wiebke Elzel / Jana Müller","title":"from the series \"Archiv Elzel / Müller\"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_archives_06.jpg?alt=media&token=ecb20092-1438-4bc2-a6a0-8b1225236101","year":"2002-2008"}],"tags":[{"text":"-ANALOGIES-"},{"text":"THINGS-THINGS-THINGS"},{"text":"franz-erhard-walther"},{"text":"david-teniers-the-younger"},{"text":"andre-malraux"},{"text":"riccardo-maria-chiacchio"},{"text":"ferrante-imperato"},{"text":"wiebke-elzel-jana-muller"}],"text":"“The value of an archive is not in the individual works that are contained in it, but on the relationships that appear between them.

It’s not difficult to realize the extent to which the canonical books of architecture of the twentieth century have not dealt in depth with interiors and their objects, regardless of the importance given to them by architects and designers in the definition of their habitats. It’s a fact that preservation’s scope has often included just architecture as a built form, neglecting the world of objects that defines the inner space of the built environment. Thus, objects and interior spaces remain the most fragile part of architecture: excluded from it while gaining at the same time their own autonomy. New technologies have radically transformed the domestic sphere: blurring or subverting the traditional limits between public and private, between production and consumption, highlighting its renewed importance. This interconnection of infinite interiors makes it possible to think of the world as a “grand interior,” which Sloterdijk defines as an endless domestic landscape defined by objects and technology. Different attempts such as the Whole Earth Catalogue, Archizoom’s No-stop City, Quickborner’s Burolandschaft, or Ambasz’s 1972 Italy: The New Domestic Landscape exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, can be seen from the present as pioneer preludes to actual conditions, but also as an intent to stress the importance of objects and technologies as anchors amidst this endless continuity.\n<br><br>\nThe Grand Interior aims to show the new condition of this endless domestic sphere represented by interconnected, canonical, and popular domestic spaces, by means of proposing an interior made of interiors where massiveness of architecture has been removed and rebalanced towards objects, furniture, appliances, and technology as a primary -and often neglected- and often neglected layer of architecture.”</i>\n<br><br><br>\n(Text from the authors, via their <a href=\"https://www.maio-architects.com/\"

Those Bucks County barns were yet another, up-to-date avowal of the pastoral ideal. Cubism helped strip the subject of stale associations, facile emotions, the old conventions. The romantic trappings of an earlier generation—all those virtuoso painterly effects so patiently mastered in the classes of William Merritt Chase—were displaced by an immaculate geometry imported from Paris. But Sheeler’s Cubism is not a language of pictorial invention. It is an aid to illustration. The picturesque is not abandoned, it is only revitalized. It is adjusted to a new vocabulary. It is made palatable to the modern sensibility, but does not make any new demands on that sensibility. Sheeler was a master at domesticating the hard conceptual core of Cubist form to the specifications of a softer, more parochial vein of taste. The taste is folkloric. The appeal is to sentiments and standards of a simpler world than our own—in other words, to a myth. What is modern in Sheeler’s art is made to serve the interests of what is traditional, homely, and cozy.\n<br>\nThe folk architecture of Bucks County, with its simple lines and muted colors and its own very gentle geometry perfectly attuned to a very gentle landscape, was an ideal subject for a native son whose eyes had been instructed by the esthetics of Cubism. These structures—particularly their interiors—were themselves a kind of folk Cubism. Sheeler seized the opportunity to synthesize these disparate but harmonious materials, and made something memorable of it—though less for its high pictorial quality, perhaps, than for the quality of its feeling. An element of nostalgia was combined with an element of modernity. The past was discreetly, even poetically, evoked in the name of an esthetic grammar that seemed, in Sheeler’s hands, only an extension of the old verities.

Most of them take years to be deemed complete, if at all: <i>“a work is never finished, it just reaches the end of its own possibilities”.</i>\n<br><br>\nThe preparation process is as meticulous and precise. While he is often acknowledged for his ability to capture the world in an almost photorealistic manner, these preparatory sketches –superimposed layers of tracing paper at a 1:1 scale to the finished painting’s– show his ability to, in fact, compose a reality: changing the location and identity of the various objects in the table until reaching a desired tableau. The whole as the sum of its many refined fragments.\n<br><br>\nThe ending result sometimes allows for the unexpected to take place. While visiting an exhibition and seeing both the sketches and the finished painting side by side, I was surprised to see that a piece of meat in the painting is actually a collaged photograph of a piece of meat. A touch of humour that further delves into the ideas of reality and completion in a work of art.","work_author":"Antonio López García","work_title":"Preparatory drawings for The

While façades are first built and then marked over time, either by human made alterations or by natural degradation, here the damages come before the architecture, which is graffitied on top.","work_author":"Evol","work_year":"2008-2018"},"-NttsYUmV0jDqKFVC5iD":{"date":1711441852774,"images":[{"author":"Ramon Masats","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_layers_01.jpg?alt=media&token=a3915219-29fb-4910-9e20-51a3121bb1b5","year":""},{"author":"Ramon Masats","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_layers_02.jpg?alt=media&token=ef9b691b-bb65-4630-a05e-0733b9ae9d4d","year":""},{"author":"Ramon Masats","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_layers_03.jpg?alt=media&token=3adc8d7f-0393-496e-9ea4-dfda13d5f897","year":""},{"author":"Henri Cartier-Bresson","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_layers_04_.jpg?alt=media&token=46251fdd-978c-4434-a0c5-239a3c1e0ba8","year":""},{"author":"René Burri","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_layers_05.jpg?alt=media&token=52a22a76-281c-4d6b-9a38-7c7bad531d37","year":""},{"author":"René Burri","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_layers_06.jpg?alt=media&token=3e09f1e2-a202-44ce-9a6f-cb9d3ca00654","year":""},{"author":"1300 year old tree that was cut down in 1891","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_layers_07.jpg?alt=media&token=aa939f43-d8e6-4c83-9afe-5aab242ed7e8","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"-ANALOGIES-"},{"text":"MATERIALITY"},{"text":"COLOR"},{"text":"REPETITION"},{"text":"ramon-masats"},{"text":"henri-cartier-bresson"},{"text":"rene-burri"},{"text":"photography"}],"text":"The whitewashed town of informally developed houses, each of them similar and yet all different, has established itself over the centuries as an archetype of popular Mediterranean architecture.

Following an interest in the texts by Gertrude Stein, he understands landscape not as something static, but as an entity created from multiple elements with their own identity, which have in common that they share the same space. As such, he is more interested in the nature of representation than the representation of nature.\n<br><br>\nIn “A Dutch Landscape of 26 Days”, he transformed the shower room of an abandoned textile factory into a canvas. During 26 days of April and May 2020, he intervened daily in this space, creating three-dimensional drawings that made use of 26 pieces of black adhesive tape found on site. These elements, repurposed bits of past lives, became drawing ‘lines’ which were arranged and re-arranged in diverse compositions. Produced during the early stages of the pandemic, the works were photographed daily, with that being the only means to make it public.","work_author":"José Quintanar","work_title":"A Dutch Landscape of 26 Days","work_year":"2020"},"-O-FXm9M-ozE11B9Jt3g":{"date":1718264472154,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_c-trotignon-2_01.jpg?alt=media&token=ace3f429-cb4c-4b2e-992a-8f5938405681","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_c-trotignon-2_02.jpg?alt=media&token=a9381e9b-f83d-42ac-aca5-ae04a260e8ff","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_c-trotignon-2_03.jpg?alt=media&token=4ccd0ca0-8bd3-41de-81fe-5f18645f8ea5","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_c-trotignon-2_04.jpg?alt=media&token=14299c05-62dc-4200-abc2-ebe75f9e5c3f","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_c-trotignon-2_05.jpg?alt=media&token=c098eeca-dcdf-46ee-93d6-722e9d993e11","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_c-trotignon-2_06.jpg?alt=media&token=680273b2-c235-4ba2-996e-23074133abec","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_c-trotignon-2_07.jpg?alt=media&token=f23efb6a-27f2-4455-b538-c38c8fa1505c","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_c-trotignon-2_08.jpg?alt=media&token=83c74185-86d2-4de9-8571-f2edcf301ff1","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_c-trotignon-2_09.jpg?alt=media&token=b73520c8-3d8d-4fdc-9813-096b98f7ef02","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_c-trotignon-2_10.jpg?alt=media&token=daf67839-cc9e-4897-8b81-e527b549025c","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_c-trotignon-2_11.jpg?alt=media&token=2adddee4-3dfc-4f35-959e-4503b1ece08e","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_c-trotignon-2_12.jpg?alt=media&token=26f251aa-8669-4b5e-9129-5f5691a046fb","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_c-trotignon-2_13.jpg?alt=media&token=bd113260-957c-4877-a0ad-024e5d93c5ed","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_c-trotignon-2_14.jpg?alt=media&token=0647fc08-d80d-49e1-841b-1c03d5e0f69a","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_c-trotignon-2_15.jpg?alt=media&token=e83f1122-1ec7-4269-b4cb-6df21920f3ce","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_c-trotignon-2_16.jpg?alt=media&token=ef46a675-a80f-4d27-b68b-b9c6afec0112","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_c-trotignon-2_17.jpg?alt=media&token=bde65c3f-f88f-4efa-a28b-3d5779158eb2","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"claire-trotignon"},{"text":"collage"},{"text":"2020s"},{"text":"MATERIALITY"},{"text":"EXTERIOR-ROOM"}],"text":"Hundreds of fragments of cut-out 19th century engravings construct oneiric universes in the collage works of French artist Claire Trotignon.

Visible only from one of its long sides, underneath a veranda, it is a space for contemplation. Its fifteen rocks are arranged in small groups in a sea of gravel, with the design of their layout always concealing at least one of them. From no vantage point one can see all fifteen rocks at the same time.\n<br><br>\nRepresenting this garden in a one-point perspective, whether in a photograph or a drawing, can therefore never fully express the entirety of the space and its arrangement. While visiting Ryoan-ji in 1983, David Hockney realized as much. The photocollages he had been doing, in which from a single position he took a multitude of pictures, turning his head around, and which he then arranged into compositions, did not work to capture the reality of the space:\n<br><br>\n<i>“I'd first done that earlier version of sitting, where the sense of perspective was very strong –the rectangle of the rock garden almost read like a triangle. And I started gnawling at the question of how might one present the garden as the rectangle it actually was. In drawing it would have been easy, and I suppose that with a camera one might have rented a helicopter and shot it from above looking down. I wanted to do something about the rectangular quality of this garden. And then it dawned on me that if I moved along the length of one rim of the garden and snapped a row of shots every few steps, scanning from my feet on upward toward the far rim, I'd eventually solve my problem. ... My first thought was that I'd made a photograph without perspective. Comparing it with the earlier collage of sitting in a Zen garden, this one walking seemed to me truer, not the truth, but truer. And I also realized that with this one the viewer was moving through space.”</i> (Fragment from the book 'True to Life - Twenty-five years of conversations with David Hockney' by Lawrence Weschler)\n<br><br>\nIn this moving through space, Hockney manages to introduce the aspect of time in a composition of photographs. Only a few years earlier, Arata Isozaki had produced an axonometric view of the garden for the exhibition “MA, Space/Time in Japan”, described then as “an attempt to explain and illustrate a basic tenet of Japanese culture that is also a primary aspect of the Japanese sensibility the concept of space and time as a unified idea and experience.” \nLikewise, Akisako Rito’s engraving of the space,

February 2024 we organized a workshop in HEAD Genève as part of the “Semaine de tous les possibles”, which takes place the week before the start of the second semester of classes. \n<br><br>\nLaunching from the archive of A Series of Rooms, we proposed a multidisciplinary overview of the representation of space, focusing on the bedroom as the most private, but also the most personal, of all the domestic spaces.\n<br><br>\n“Bridging the gap between the private and the public spheres we inhabit, we will bring the bedroom into the classroom. Students will work on representing their own domestic space through a variety of media. Drawing upon the work of different artists, the week will begin with a series of short exercises – in the form of drawings, photographs, conceptual models… – that\nwill explore diverse topics, ranging from the prosaic to the poetic.<br>\nTowards the end of the week, the students’ points of view will take center stage, with each of them focusing on their own interests, and how to best represent them. The sum of all of them will result in a collaged portrait of intentionalities, challenging our preconceived idea of a space, the bedroom, in which we spend at least a third of our time.”\n<br><br>\nA series of short lectures introduced a large quantity of references organized within three distinct issues:<br>\n1. The construction of the room and its physical reality<br>\n2. The life inside the room and how spaces are inhabited<br>\n3. The relationship between the inside and the outside, both physical and virtual\n<br><br>\nThe first nine short exercises drew upon the works of Lara Agosti, Emily Noyes Vanderpoel, Rachel Whiteread, Luis Camnitzer, Venturi & Scott Brown, Charlotta María Hauksdóttir, Robert Adams, Nigel Peake, and Zoom. Through the reinterpretation of pre-existing works in the first half of the week, students familiarized themselves with a wide range of points of view and modes of representation. They learnt to look at their own personal space, their bedroom, through fresh eyes, exploring its features, the ways in which they used it, and its relation to the outer world.\n<br><br>\nOn the second half of the week, students focused on their own vision, producing a tenth portrait that took on the visual references they had seen in earlier days and introduced their own interests and abilities into the final result. With students coming from courses as varied as Interior Architecture, Visual Arts, Fashion Design, and Visual Communication, the resulting portraits included a broad diversity of intentions and techniques.\n<br><br>\nSome of the topics that interested the students included memory, in the form of the traces left by past inhabitants; the light changes during the day and how they shape the room; the lives of our neighbours as we see them from our own window; the relationship between our body and the space we inhabit; or the nostalgia of being away from home. The resulting works included photographs, models, videos, collages, embroidery, and even a 1:1 scale installation in the room itself.\n<br><br>\nProfessor: Laura Bonell<br>\nTeaching assistant: Robin Delerce\n<br><br>\nShown in the images below: the brief of the workshop, the first nine references, images of the final presentation and each of the students’ personal work, along with their own explanation of intentions.

Yet in these two works, both worlds collide. Coming from different backgrounds and responding to diverse intentions, Irish poet Derek Mahon and Uruguayan artist Luis Camnitzer have both created similar compositions in which words defining the elements of a window are, in fact, arranged to represent the elements of said window. Language and form, intertwined.\n<br><br>\nIn the case of Mahon, his work can be understood in the grand tradition of calligrams, poems in which the placement of words and letters contributes to the overall meaning of the work that were first created by Guillaume Apollinaire in the early 20th century.\n<br><br>\nThe window in Camnitzer’s case is part of a larger work, ‘Living Room’, an art installation in which the objects and architectural elements of a room are dematerialized into words, photocopied and stuck in the walls and the floor of a space. Windows are fragmented into each of their elements, and the views from them can be imagined in the form of tree branches and clouds. A library is made out of 'books' that lose their identifying titles to become generic volumes on invisible shelves. On the floor, tables and chairs are flattened, and kitchen utensils and magazines are put at the same level as the furniture legs.\n<br><br>\nAs an Uruguayan artist landing in New York in the 1960s, during the birth of Conceptual Art, Camnitzer's work was both informed by the artistic avantgarde and the reality of the political situation he had left behind in Latin America. The transportability of ‘Living Room’, which can be easily reproduced anywhere in the world, responds both to the dematerialization of the art object that was in the basis of Conceptual Art and the reality of censorship present in many South American countries that were, at the time, under fascist dictatorships: an idea that is as easily reproducible cannot be confiscated and cannot be destroyed.\n<br><br>\nWhat distinguishes both works is language. If visual art is, supposedly, equally understood by people from different parts of the world, the same cannot be said of words. To fully comprehend these two ‘windows’, one must know the languages in which they are realized.\n<br><br><br>\nMore info on Camnitzer's 'Living Room' <a href=\"https://aseriesofrooms.com/#/asset/-M_-vaacnOea-YSGBV90\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>","title":"Analogy 019","work_title":"Windows in Words"},"-OD6l_sBmi8P1aCUx9XO":{"date":1733149744494,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_359_2.jpg?alt=media&token=9a84b30a-e165-4bcd-acda-fe960009cb1d","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_359_1.jpg?alt=media&token=66db1815-43ab-4cde-a15e-b53157d934cd","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"arnar-asgeirsson"},{"text":"drawing"},{"text":"2009"},{"text":"2000s"},{"text":"AXONOMETRY"},{"text":"IN-AND-OUT"},{"text":"EVERYDAY-LIFE"},{"text":"GOD-COMPLEX"}],"work_author":"Arnar Ásgeirsson","work_title":"Buildings","work_year":"2009"},"-OD6m6o9bcY_Q7wqbEUq":{"date":1733149883591,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_360.jpg?alt=media&token=d6592fd7-82b4-461e-a1da-211c79a8ea7d","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"ettore-sottsass"},{"text":"drawing"},{"text":"1970s"},{"text":"AXONOMETRY"}],"work_author":"Ettore Sottsass","work_title":"Preliminary Project for Microenvironment – Element for Landscape Home","work_year":"ca. 1971"},"-OG9tCLPbAPomzjZF1rA":{"date":1736423298463,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_bd-dff_01.jpg?alt=media&token=f2cf7d42-9440-4966-8334-c99b5e1dad02","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_bd-dff_02.jpg?alt=media&token=9b97267e-e592-4b95-9ad3-3698b06ecd5f","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_bd-dff_03.jpg?alt=media&token=18c9de81-c300-4150-9e9d-aa5af9dd205d","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"bonell-doriga"},{"text":"2024"},{"text":"2020s"},{"text":"drawing"},{"text":"AXONOMETRY"},{"text":"REPRESENTATION-OF-THE-ARCHITECTURAL-PROJECT"},{"text":"IN-AND-OUT"}],"text":"We have contributed one of our drawings from our alter ego Bonell+Dòriga to be auctioned at the <a href=\"www.drawingfor.net/auction\" target=\"_blank\">Drawing for Food fundraiser</a>.\n<br><br>\nIn producing this drawing some months ago, we were interested in exploring the ways in which we look at images.

Thoughts, intentions and intuitions, “topographical indications of the various modes of inhabiting”, are written down and scribbled all over a large sheet of tracing paper, portraying a sum of spaces that are not defined by the construction of their perimeter but by the many ways in which they will be inhabited.\n<br><br>\nPonti is interested in the interrelation between rooms and spaces, rather than their precise dimensions; in the views toward the outside, over the exact size or shape of its windows; in the design of the furniture not in relation to its functionality, but to the well-being of its inhabitants. “For meals, a lightweight table without a permanent home”, that can be positioned “here”, or “here”, or “here”, or “here”; up to four possible placements for the piece of furniture, which may vary on the time of the day or the time of the season –or the whim of its inhabitants.\n<br><br>\nThe descriptions range from the pragmatic –a “high window” over a “workbench”, “from here, you get to the house”– to the poetic –“you descend into this water from these stones, just like the nymphs do”, or the white ceramic roof that can be seen from a distance rand resembles “a large sheet drying in the sun, streaked with blue shadows from the pines”. Some aspects of the design of the house are included as well, revealing the intentions of the architect: “flooring all in white, blue ceiling” and “this door has small panes of glass, it excites but allows for little curiosity”. A particularly impressive pine tree “needs to be seen from the bed and from the writing table”. And the sea, il mare, its unavoidable presence imprinted in the views from each and every room.\n<br><br>\nBy mapping thoughts and intuitions, arrowing movements and views, and signalling both the places for household chores and the spaces for leisure and rest, Ponti bestows them all with value. Seeing this drawing, we can better imagine the life inside –and out– than we could ever do by just looking at other types of plans or even photographs. The dwellers of Villa Marchesano are not represented as automats, their movements not dictated by pure functionality. They are, first and foremost, inhabitants of these spaces.\n<br><br>\nRepresentation is the tool architects use to bridge the gap between the mental realm and the outer world, to materialize ideas into being. Its recipients are primarily clients, collaborators and contractors. This is, however, a drawing made for publication, whose main target will be other architects; produced to convey a portrayal of the household that transcends the standard floorplan. Ponti’s role as founder and editor of Domus magazine makes his choice to produce and publish this drawing significant. It signals a desire to move beyond a merely formal or technical representation of architecture and clearly state that a room is a place in which inhabitation happens.\n<br><br>\nWhile the rest of the drawings shown here describe the architectural floorplan in a more straightforward manner, the intention remains. Ponti wants to represent the life inside.\n<br><br><br>\nA version of this text first appeared in ‘Unmaking Rooms’, a text written by Laura Bonell of A Series of Rooms for <a href=\"https://www.architectural-review.com/essays/unmaking-rooms-beyond-the-box\" target=\"_blank\">The Architectural Review</a>","work_author":"Gio Ponti","work_title":"Topographical Indications of the Various Modes of Inhabiting Villa Marchesano and other drawings"},"-OZ3an3FYWQbcS0I69Rw":{"date":1756718903513,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_guim-tio2_01.jpg?alt=media&token=acbc559c-00c9-47ac-9008-c2df9af156a1","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_guim-tio2_02.jpg?alt=media&token=f57006ad-a51d-42b4-9634-5c71b4c3f7a7","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_guim-tio2_03.jpg?alt=media&token=fe4eeca8-acef-4eea-b862-96f2e161169c","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_guim-tio2_04.jpg?alt=media&token=d263f8cd-4139-40ee-b67a-3db9e9e40aa3","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_guim-tio2_05.jpg?alt=media&token=d69d132c-6917-4ef7-b0a2-f797ff69831f","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_guim-tio2_06.jpg?alt=media&token=b98ec017-d86c-496e-a8fd-e109240dc075","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_guim-tio2_07.jpg?alt=media&token=26367b01-9532-4696-a6d5-a5b2181d74c5","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_guim-tio2_08.jpg?alt=media&token=9f11785c-60a2-4ee4-bbac-5e715d88e969","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_guim-tio2_09.jpg?alt=media&token=141af5c7-1a31-46cd-b344-06405a8afa0d","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_guim-tio2_10.jpg?alt=media&token=f8041515-4cb4-403b-8f74-8582dbc31732","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_guim-tio2_11.jpg?alt=media&token=0e81f84a-d6ce-436f-af04-a9f331730eb7","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"guim-tio"},{"text":"painting"},{"text":"drawing"},{"text":"2020s"},{"text":"ABSTRACT-PORTRAIT"},{"text":"EVERYDAY-LIFE"},{"text":"bedroom"}],"text":"Artist Guim Tió is best known for dreamy landscape paintings in unexpected colours.

It is often an enclosed space with little to no connection to the rest of the home, a sanctuary of privacy. As part of “To love and devour”, a series of interventions on a Venetian palazzo, artist Tolia Astakhishvili tore down the wall of an existing bathroom, laying it bare to inquisitive eyes in contiguous rooms while, at the same time, revealing all the pipes necessary for its functioning.\n<br><br>\nIn “A Home is not a House”, Reyner Banham famously argued that, with all of the ‘piping, flues, ducts, wires, lights, inlets, outlets, ovens, sinks, refuse disposers, hi-fi reverberators, antennae, conduits, freezers, heaters’, ‘so many services that the hardware could stand by itself’,  the construction of the shell of the house –that which architecture has historically been preoccupied with– nowadays serves the only purpose of concealing mechanics from ‘the stares of folks on the sidewalk’.\n<br><br>\nIn a smaller scale, Astakhishvili’s intervention provides an interpretation of Banham’s words. What’s the use of a wall? The bathroom continues to be as useful as it was before, and yet the effects of its usage are no longer contained within its perimeter. Water splashes might invade the adjacent living spaces, as would odours and sounds typically muffled by a closed door. The bodies of bathers, normally concealed behind layers of brick and glazed ceramic tiles, would reveal themselves, whether nude or not, in the framed view defined by the hole in the wall, the size of a small cinema screen, a window into a scene.\n<br><br><br>\nto love and devour is curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist and open to the public until November 23rd 2025 in the Nicoletta Fiorucci Foundation","work_author":"Tolia Astakhishvili","work_title":"my emptiness","work_year":"2025"},"-O_M6Vb3nKC4g9B-luyH":{"date":1758103210486,"images":[{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ugalde_01.jpg?alt=media&token=6eb539f5-1291-42c9-b36c-626b8b2a8730","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ugalde_02.jpg?alt=media&token=ebfaf711-4b37-4cc9-b181-4ea740f89f38","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ugalde_03.jpg?alt=media&token=77d79b88-f38b-4a94-989d-379df2b0737e","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ugalde_04_.jpg?alt=media&token=b3de08e1-84e4-43fa-b1bb-a2e670511c57","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ugalde_04.jpg?alt=media&token=dd8634dd-ca18-4757-b417-f8f2935e422d","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ugalde_05.jpg?alt=media&token=1ec107e7-10e0-4417-9f5e-ee45c0c351cd","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ugalde_06.jpg?alt=media&token=87c9cfc8-a3ca-449d-9df3-dde54bbdf0b1","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ugalde_07.jpg?alt=media&token=3cdb2551-5d4c-4593-b8ff-c8ac3571d4d5","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ugalde_08.jpg?alt=media&token=f73d272b-20d7-42e6-bd02-9e2e88ae81e3","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ugalde_09.jpg?alt=media&token=040e8025-5e1d-44f8-9f0e-f505b532787d","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ugalde_10.jpg?alt=media&token=1243f627-0238-4817-bdb0-ca215ce009bb","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ugalde_11.jpg?alt=media&token=7e323066-5568-4e3f-b059-df206bfe75af","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ugalde_12.jpg?alt=media&token=98afb467-259b-4f64-8924-3e5a094db131","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ugalde_13.jpg?alt=media&token=59cc308e-9258-446f-a5d2-fb473cc972ea","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ugalde_14.jpg?alt=media&token=c6990614-5299-46f0-acb1-e758ebd1ff85","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ugalde_15.jpg?alt=media&token=7dfc655c-aff6-41a2-a9dd-40ac0c4fee4c","year":""},{"author":"","title":"","url":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/aseriesofrooms-73b96.appspot.com/o/images%2Fa-s-o-r_ugalde_16.jpg?alt=media&token=448c7496-8da7-4d09-9c51-b49c6983ca0d","year":""}],"tags":[{"text":"jose-antonio-coderch"},{"text":"1951"},{"text":"1950s"},{"text":"drawing"},{"text":"REPRESENTATION-OF-THE-ARCHITECTURAL-PROJECT"},{"text":"IN-AND-OUT"}],"text":"As José Antonio Coderch told it, Mr. Ugalde climbed on the hill, sat in the shadow of a carob tree and looked around him. He then hired Coderch and his partner Manuel Valls with the unique proposal of building a house in the outskirts of Barcelona that could preserve the feeling of that moment, and the views he had enjoyed.\n<br><br>\nOn visiting the site for the first time, Coderch observed the surroundings and took note of everything around him in the form of a sketch. It showed the precise location and species of every tree within the perimeter; including whether there was a group of more than one or if a pine tree had two trunks. It pointed out the direction of the best views.\n<br><br>\nThere were no architectural intentions projected into the drawing, simply data written down on paper. With every distance, height, and angle measured, the resulting image resembled a treasure map. This drawing became an instruction manual of sorts, and the basis of the project.\n<br><br>\nAs a result, the project was organised radially, instead of following an orthogonal system. The placing of walls followed the direction of the desired viewpoints and interior and exterior were intertwined in a continuous flow. Observing the landscape, the house emerged from the ground, rather than being superimposed on it.\n<br><br>\nThis initial sketch for Casa Ugalde, in spite of its apparent triviality, would become a generative tool for the entirety of the project. It represents the balance between intuition and reason: an attempt to codify the impulsive desire to build a house that could formalise the feeling of an afternoon spent under the shadow of a tree, overlooking the sea.\n<br><br><br>\nThese are fragments of an essay we wrote for <a href=\"https://drawingmatter.org/casa-ugalde-sketch/\" target=\"_blank\">Drawing Matter</a> a few years

locally sourced furniture and ordinary items, Michael Johansson creates temporary installations in which architectural voids are filled with tightly packed everyday objects. Whatever the dimensions of the different pieces, the resulting compositions present a flat surface towards the viewer, emphasizing a sense of meticulous order that verges on abstraction. Some of the works seem to disappear on the space by using objects in the same colours as the surrounding walls, while other emphasize their presence with different materials and tonalities. \n<br><br>\nThe organization and fitting of our many things into a small space – whether a storage room, a cupboard, or a wardrobe – is a process to which we can all relate: a three-dimensional battle of Tetris between us and the increasingly expensive real estate that we inhabit.

(…) Whiteread wittily alludes to traditional gender politics, ranging miniatures versions of everyday utilities and appliances, such as sinks, stoves, ironing boards, buckets, washtubs and wastebaskets, against leisure-based furnishings and objects, such as armchairs, electric radiators and televisions. These carefully chosen objects frame the home environment as a site of work for women and of leisure for men. Each piece is meticulously fabricated after model toys in Whiteread’s own collection and is presented on a patch-work of floral carpet squares and coloured linoleum. With its wooden box referencing the typography and packaging of the 1950’s, Modern Chess Set gently critiques gender stereotypes while nostalgically evoking the aesthetics and spirit of a bygone

Rather than seeking the clear-cut exactness of the straight line, his compositions evoke a sense of tactility by showing –rather than hiding– the brushstroke made by hand, intuitive and imperfect.\n<br><br>\nIn this series of twelve images, taken during a trip to the Dominican Republic, Scully uses the medium of photography in a similar way, framing fragments of its vernacular architecture. The compositions are decontextualized from the larger urban setting, yet the imprecise construction of wooden planks creating walls, doors and air vents is immediately

a contribution to the group exhibition This is Tomorrow (1956), in which artists and architects were asked to reflect on their vision of the future, Richard Hamilton created a collage that would go on to become a seminal work on Pop Art: “Just what is it that makes today’s homes so different, so appealing?”\n<br><br>\nHe later wrote about that work that the idea <i>‘was to throw into the cramped space of a living room some representation of all the objects and ideas crowding into our post-war consciousness (…) We seemed to be taking a course towards a rosy future and our changing, Hi-Tech world was embraced with a starry-eyed confidence; a surge of confidence which took us into the 1960s. Though clearly an ‘interior’ there are complications that cause us to doubt the categorisation. The ceiling of the room is a space-age view of Earth. The carpet is a distant view of people on a beach. It is an allegory rather than a representation of a room.’</i>\n<br><br>\nHamilton would go on to use the technique of collage in many works in the following decades. Clearly influenced by Dadaism and Duchamp, this technique allowed the artist to superimpose fragments sourced from magazines or his own photographs as symbols or signifiers capable of carrying a meaning beyond their direct interpretation. Later works also became precursors of David Hockney’s “Joiners”, even if Hockney’s intention was more focused on the representation of reality, while Hamilton appeared to be interested in the creation of new spaces through the usage of disjointed parts.\n<br><br>\nAs interested as he was in popular culture and the images extracted from advertising, he was equally fascinated by artists from the past. The idea of the painting inside another painting, most famously proposed by Diego Velázquez in the 1600s, is reinterpreted in homages to “Las Meninas” by way of Picasso and to Jan van Eyck’s “Arnolfini Portrait”, two of the most important representations of domesticity in western history painting.","work_author":"Richard

a decontextualized suburbia of indistinguishable houses – yet not all exactly identical –, the main façade of one of the houses in a nondescript street has been transformed. A large, side to side glazed panel has taken the place of the conventional wood-construction façade with standard openings, rendering the domestic interior into full display. Furthermore, the wall on the back of the living spaces, visible from the street level, has been covered in mirror, replicating both interior and exterior, private and public. The ambiguous duplicity of suburbia, in between the appearance of perfect happiness and the reality of what happens, as one says, behind closed doors.\n<br><br>\nThe doors here may be closed, but they are still transparent, what side of the coin will they show us? Whether actors interpreting a play or mannequins selling a dream, inhabitants live their everyday under constant surveillance, not only by strangers but also themselves, unable to break free from the mirrored projection of their own self.","work_author":"Dan Graham","work_title":"Alteration to a Suburban House","work_year":"1978"}}}
