Lyrois: Architectural Essays 2009
Using our beloved glass, steel, and concrete as the perfect canvas to create a dialogue between static architecture and dynamic art. Looking for and at glass, steel, and concrete; there is one artist -- architect -- who provides iconic, clean, and clear structures and patterns to pick up and play with: Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Linear divisions, spatial proportions, as well as details like huge pieces of marble cut in symmetrical patterns. Like graffiti, the public landscape is the canvas to work on. Unlike graffiti, the Lyrois pieces pick up the pattern of the underlying architecture and highlight both canvas and artwork.
