Architecture

Imperial War Museum North
Manchester, England
Daniel Libeskind


Concept: a globe shattered into fragments and then reassembled as an iconic emblem of conflict.
The building is the interlacking of three shards representing earth, air and water.

Earth--generous and flexible museum space.
signifying the open
earthly realm of conflict war

Air-----dramatic entry.. observatories education space

Water-platform for viewing the canal
complete with a restaurant, cafe, deck and performance space

*exit--horizon of the imagination and is visible across the strategic points of the city and its surroundings.





*" invent new connections between the building and its surroundings and become an instantly recognizable memorable place of encounter."--D. Libeskind

Painting

Sol LeWitt
SF MOMA...entrance
TATE Liverpool...art room
The panels, one stripes and one arcs in a repeating pattern of yellow, purple, green, orange, red and blue.
Fit so well on either side of the black granite staircase that LeWitt had become wallpaper.











He believed ideas can be works of art; they are in a chain of development that may eventually find some form. All ideas need not be made physical..

Installation

Dale Chihuly
Victoria and Albert Museum




Dale Chihuly has championed the use of blown glass as a vehicle for sculpture, focusing on the vessel in his explorations of colour and form....letting the hot glass naturally find its own shape. he has produced work that is characterized by its large, gravity- influenced forms and minimal tooling as much as by its colours, creating vessels that communicate a range of aesthetic experience from the ephemeral moods represented by a single Macchia or hested seaform to the highly emotional, transformational enviroments realized in large-scale installations such as the Persians or Chandeliers

Film

Love me if you dare

Julien and Sophie build a friendship and amorous curiosity as they exchange a tin carousel when one of them completes a dare. The dares become increasingly risky and troublesome for the two, as they are often sent to the principal's office in their academy.
Eventually, ten years pass, and the pair are now in their late teens, continuing with their game of dares, even to the expense of their emotional health. Long periods of time pass by dare of both Sophie and Julien, and the story ends with both characters in the mid 30s, married to separate spouses and Julien with two children. Ten years have passed since Sophie proclaimed that ten years would pass until they spoke again. And as the anniversary of the day nears and arrives, Julien is consumed with the thought of seeing Sophie again. They unite later that night, setting off a series of events that leads to their ultimate fate.

The end of the film is that they died together in the concrete.....Forever love....

Novel

Invisible City

Italo Calvino

Cities & Desire. 5

From there, after six days and seven nights, you arrive at Zobeide, the white city, well exposed to the moon, with streets wound about themselves as in a skein. They tell this tale of its foundation: men of various nations had an identical dream. They saw a woman running at night through an unknown city; she was seen from behind, with long hair, and she was naked. They dreamed of pursuing her. As they twisted and turned, each of them lost her. After the dream, they set out in search of that city; they never found it, but they found one another; they decided to build a city like the one in the dream. In laying out the streets, each followed the course of his pursuit; at the spot where they had lost the fugitive's trail, they arranged spaces and walls differently from the dream, so she would be unable to escape again.

This was the city of Zobeide, where they settled, waiting for that scene to be repeated one night. None of them, asleep or awake, ever saw the woman again. The city's streets were streets where they went to work every day, with no link any more to the dreamed chase. Which, for that matter, had long been forgotten.

New men arrived from other lands, having had a dream like theirs, and in the city of Zobeide, they recognized something from the streets of the dream, and they changed the positions of arcades and stairways to resemble more closely the path of the pursued woman and so, at the spot where she had vanished, there would remain no avenue of escape.

The first to arrive could not understand what drew these people to Zobeide, this ugly city, this trap.

‘Invisible Cities’ is an amalgam of many elements, memories, signs, language, fears and desires, all floating somewhere in space and time, dream and reality. What is to be and what is yet to come. Assuming forms to only then disappear.
