4. QUESTION OF THE DAY
5. INSPIRATION
Robert Smithson - He was an artist and not a designer. His The Spiral Jetty
Video Smithson made about it.
“At the time of Spiral Jetty’s construction, the water level of the lake was unusually low due to drought... Within a few years, the water level returned to normal, submerging the jetty for the next three decades... In 2002, the area experienced another drought, lowering the water level in the lake and revealing the jetty fora second time. The jetty remained completely exposed for almost a year.”
Three examples to learn from art:
Dan Flavin’s neons
Jean Dubuffet’s artificial garden
Tatsuo Miyajima’s leds
“Mirror, mirror, here I stand. Who is the fairest in the land?” Wilhelm Grimm
The Mirror Cage by Michelangelo Pistoletto.Jeppe Hein’s labyrinths?
While in Mexico, Robert Smithson created the Yucatan Mirror Displacements by installing 12-inch-square mirrors on dispersed sites. The resulting series of nine color photographs was published in Artforum to accompany Smithson’s essay “Incidents of Mirror-Travel in the Yucatan.” The mirrors reflected and refracted the surrounding environments, displacing the solidity of the landscape and shattering its forms. (From the Course Letter)
"Part Earth work and part image, the displacements contemplate temporality; while the mirror records the passage of time, its photograph suspends time.”
6. Homework
Today, you will reflect. Starting from Robert Smithson’s work. His works with mirrors. Get a mirror (or maybe more than one), to place somewhere in your city. You will create new spaces, combine fragments of matter reflect on illusions, duality or multiplicity. To show (something) in a very clear way.
Generating new relations between space(s)...Setting up links. Coming up with reasons for. Today is to analyze an artist’s work (in this case, Robert Smithson’s mirrors), and using it as a starting ingredient for a project of yours. Designers we need some real (or invented) function. Tell us a consistent story. Layering
up the city, the mirrors and some necessity. How can we transform ingredients
taken from other fields into something meaningful and valuable for our purposes?
