Curatorial




Fluid Form


“A figure with curves always offers a lot of interesting angles.” - Wesley Ruggles


This model accentuates the beautiful curve style that my precedent Frank Lloyd Wright has put into his architecture work with the “Guggenheim” building as an example. The style of curve is similar to an upside down cone, it’s swift and clean throughout with no edges within. The model also consist of the abstract linear lines from the work of Kandinsky’s “Composition VIII” which is the complete opposite compared to Wright’s work.


This model also contains the sense of expressionism. It creates the mood that there’s these sensual and elegant curves, but then have been distored by stabbing through 2 sharp sticks to disrupt this idea. The model is based upon these 2 precendents, with the main frame of the model being the main lines Kandinsky uses. These were made out of wooden sticks, then painted black to portray the dominance of the frame. The curves were made out of a thin drafting film. This is a clear plastic material and would suit this model because it is contrasted with the frame of it, adding that graceful look in it. 


The model further introduces symmbolism, symmbolising the
architecture-like structure in the precedents work. I felt my model was 
accomplished in showing all these things because the precedents art work was portrayed succesfully.
