Annett Zinsmeister
Ruimtelijke installatie "Outside_in I" (2005)

(Afm.: 45 x 3,5 x 8 m)
Schloß Solitude Stuttgart (D)
18.11. - 18.12.2005

".. Annett Zinsmeister (°1967 Stuttgart) uses sections of Plattenbau of the former GDR and builds new spaces by multiplying them. Outside turns into inside, doors are leading into emptiness. Architectural elements were used like ornaments to create new virtual spaces. The repetitiveness brings about a new structure. The final technique of large sized light boxes underlines the optical impression. In her art work Annett Zinsmeister is concerned with cultural influence of architecture. The principal of the series is her main emphasis. Through the endless repetition of segments she brings to light the fascination and the deterrent of mass architecture."

Isidro Blasco - The Room As I Touch It (1999)
Walk-in wood construction.
Queens Museum Of Modern Art (NY) - Nov-1999, Feb-2000

"Isidro Blasco (°1962 Madrid) combines architecture, photography and installation to explore themes of vision and perception in relation to physical experience. His work often references the realm of private or domestic space. Blasco normally begins by selecting one angle in a room or outdoors and then constructs a new space from the perspective of that vantage point." (txt via ArtNet.com).

"Twelve photographs taken from different art magazines served as a starting point for this project. They give a view of a gallery or museum space where works of art are exhibited. Omitting the art works, the depicted rooms have been reconstructed in the form of 3-dimensional architectural maquettes, each representing a section of an exhibition room. The models present only half of the project. The other half consists of two pages in an art magazine with images of empty exhibition rooms. For this purpose each maquette has been photographed from one particular point of view, similar to the original photographs in the magazines. The exhibition of the models took place in Museum Fodor in November 1990 and the pages where published in Artcribe #84, November 1990."

Beyond Architecture

R. Klanten, L. Feireiss

Beyond Architecture

(Imaginative Buildings and Fictional Cities)

"Beyond Architecture is the first publication of its kind to document the creative exploration of architecture and urban propositions in the contemporary arts. The projects collected in this book demonstrate how not only architects and designers but also artists are taking architecture as a starting point for experimentation. They range from performance, installation art and crafted sculptures to architectural models, alternative ideas for living spaces and furniture, as well as illustration, painting, collage and photography. Through stunning photography, visuals and complementary texts, these visionary concepts reveal the hidden creative potential for architecture and urban environments in inventive ways."
