Description
This class will focus on the idea of Miniature architectural features, miniature
stairs, columns, doors and windows. Following the work of Monica Sosnowska,
and in particular the exhibition currently on view at Hauser & Wirth Los ?ngeles,
we will investigate her work and how it creates abstract variations of ?true?
architectural features and extrapolates them into geometries. We will visit and
work closely with Hauser & Wirth, and will look upon the work in order to advance
a theory of parts.
The shift from the recognazible figures of stairs, columns, etc, to abstracted
forms will be done by converting mass to outlines, by delineating these familiar
forms and voiding all material implications, we will maintain recognizable features
but will void all functional and material implications.
The final work will be the fabrication of a Miniature Model, where the architectural
?parts? will construct a ?whole?.
