Readings



Charles Esche, "Once is Nothing: Individual Systems", Utrecht, Eindhoven: Van Abeemuseum, 2008




Carsten Nicolai, "Carsten Nicolai: Anti Reflex", Frankfurt: Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt; Koln; Walther Konig, 2005.
- interesting forms created by lines
- constellation
- perhaps representing the web of components in the world

Sculpture'11



structure sitting on floor

steel structure with strings connected
-dream catcher?




makes a huge difference when it is suspended

things to consider:
- different tensions in different types of strings
(would they stretch over time? would they snap off? are they strong enough to hold the steel?etc)
- colours of strings
- different thicknesses of strings
- how to develop the structure further
- constellation
- should I paint the structure?
- specific measurement to work with
- perhaps bring in specific measurements via relationships I have with people?
- how to attach strings to the walls? (technical issues)

interesting to see everything in the world with the regular measurement away each time,
man's hand, park, city, country, world, earth...so on.
The world is united with so many different things being intertwined and connected to each other.
so many different things but in the end it is a whole. 
whatever there are, they are all in one place.
again, unity. 

another interesting aspect raised, connection.

maquettes
working towards the idea of expansion of life/
expansion of universe
