REBLOG : 5 NOTES

I realized i’ve never posted this even though it’s one of my favorites… saw it at the De Stijl exhibition at the Pompidou a few years ago. I love Frederick Kiesler.
“This impressive hanging megastructure looks like a ‘practicable contra-construction’ and has been entirely rebuilt at the exhibition venue to treat visitors today to its ‘magical force of attraction.’ This spectacular work of art condenses and expresses the full compendium of philosophy of the city. It takes us back to the basic notions of a movement that always strove to think about structures together – structures, that is, on a the surface of a painting or organising people’s life, indistinctly.”
