<p>Desde hace quince años, el holandés <a href="http://www.strandbeest.com/mGallery/index.php?c=theo_jansen" target="_blank"><strong>Theo Jansen</strong></a> <img class="alignright" style="float: right; margin: 5px;" src="http://www.artfutura.org/v2/media.php?pix=medias/imgs/artthoughts/297-P-20070930062338.jpg" alt="" /><a href="http://www.artfutura.org/v2/media.php?pix=medias/imgs/artthoughts/297-P-20070930062338.jpg" rel="lightbox[197]"><img class="alignright" style="float: right;" src="http://www.strandbeest.com/img/loekvdklis/lvdk040915-04.jpg" alt="" width="281" height="187" /></a>se ha dedicado en cuerpo y alma a crear una <strong>nueva forma de vida</strong>.                Sus<strong> &#8220;Strandbeest&#8221; </strong>(bestias de la playa) parecen                tan <strong>orgánicas</strong> que desde lejos se confundirían con inmensos insectos o esqueletos de mamuts prehistóricos, pero están hechas a partir de materiales de la era industrial: tubos de plástico flexible, cinta adhesiva. Nacen <strong>dentro                de un ordenador </strong>en forma de algoritmo, pero no requieren motores, sensores o ninguna clase de tecnología avanzada para cobrar vida. Se mueven gracias a la <strong>fuerza del viento</strong> y a la arena mojada que encuentran en su hábitat de la costa holandesa.Desde su laboratorio de Ypenburg, Jansen estudia la<strong> historia                  de la evolución</strong> biológica para dotar a sus nuevas generaciones de criaturas de capacidades cada vez mayores. Su sueño es que algún día aprendan a evolucionar sin su intervención y continuen sus vidas como cualquier otro organismo, sometidas a los ciclos de la naturaleza.</p>
<p><span id="more-197"></span></p>
<div><a href="http://www.artfutura.org/v2/media.php?pix=medias/imgs/artthoughts/299-P-20070930062359.jpg" rel="lightbox[197]" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.artfutura.org/v2/medias/imgs/artthoughts/299-T-20070930062359.jpg" border="0" alt="299-P-20070930062359.jpg" width="220" height="165" align="right" /></a></div>
<p>Todos los que observan por primera vez la <strong>belleza de una de                  las criaturas</strong> de Theo Jansen desplazándose sobre la arena entienden de inmediato que el trabajo de este ingeniero, científico y artista es algo especial. Sin embargo, durante más de una década ha permanecido en la oscuridad y sólo <strong>recientemente ha sido descubierto</strong> por la comunidad artística internacional. En la pasada década deslumbrada por la revolución digital, su obra podía parecer rudimentaria, sobre todo en comparación con la sofisticada producción que estaban realizando sus coetáneos en el campo del<strong> arte robótico</strong>. Hoy, en la era en que la convivencia entre la técnica y la naturaleza en pos de la sostenibilidad es una prioridad urgente, sus estrategias de diseño resultan más relevantes que nunca.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.strandbeest.com/mGallery/renderings/65.jpg" rel="lightbox[197]" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.strandbeest.com/mGallery/renderings/65.jpg" alt="" width="228" height="163" align="right" /></a>Las criaturas de Jansen comienzan su gestación como una                  <strong>simulación dentro de un ordenador</strong>, en forma de organismos                  de <strong>vida artificial</strong> que compiten entre sí por ser el más veloz. Jansen estudia las criaturas vencedoras y las reconstruye tridimensionalmente con tubos flexibles y ligeros, hilos de nylon y cinta adhesiva. Aquellas que se desplazan más eficazmente donarán su &#8220;ADN&#8221; (la longitud y disposición de los tubos que forman sus partes móviles) a las siguientes generaciones de Standbeest. A través de este proceso de <strong>hibridación y evolución darwiniana, </strong>las criaturas se vuelven cada vez más capaces de habitar su entorno, y pueden incluso tomar decisiones para asegurar su supervivencia; el <strong>&#8220;Animaris Sabulosa&#8221;,</strong> por ejemplo, hunde su nariz en la arena para anclarse si detecta que el viento es demasiado fuerte para permanecer en pie.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.artfutura.org/v2/media.php?pix=medias/imgs/artthoughts/298-P-20070930062348.jpg" rel="lightbox[197]" target="_blank"><img class="alignright" style="float: right; border: 0;" src="http://www.strandbeest.com/img/loekvdklis/lvdk040915-08.jpg" border="0" alt="298-P-20070930062348.jpg" width="236" height="157" align="right" /></a>Jansen trabaja ya en la <strong>séptima generación</strong> de criaturas de la playa. Sus últimas piezas<a href="http://www.artfutura.org/v2/media.php?pix=medias/imgs/artthoughts/297-P-20070930062338.jpg" rel="lightbox[197]" target="_blank"><img class="alignright" style="float: right; border: 0;" src="http://www.strandbeest.com/img/loekvdklis/lvdk040915-12.jpg" border="0" alt="297-P-20070930062338.jpg" width="220" height="165" align="right" /></a> pueden incluso transportar pasajeros en su interior -el <strong>&#8220;Animaris Rhinozeros&#8221;</strong>, un gigante de dos toneladas de peso que puede ser movido por sólo una persona- y llegar hasta donde no haya viento ni arena, gracias a un ingenioso sistema de impulsión basado en <strong>aire comprimido</strong> almacenado en botellas de refrescos.</p>
<p>En el futuro, el artista holandés prevee que sus creaciones se volverán cada vez más sofisticadas anatómicamente: desarrollarán músculos, un sistema nervioso, y algún tipo de cerebro que les permita tomar decisiones complejas. Y<a href="http://www.artfutura.org/v2/media.php?pix=medias/imgs/artthoughts/300-P-20070930062418.jpg" rel="lightbox[197]" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.artfutura.org/v2/medias/imgs/artthoughts/300-T-20070930062418.jpg" border="0" alt="300-P-20070930062418.jpg" width="220" height="165" align="right" /></a> un día, anhela, las criaturas de la playa no le necesitarán para seguir evolucionando. Manadas completas en las playas competirán por ser las más veloces y estables, y transmitirán de manera autónoma su ADN a las siguientes generaciones, <strong>integradas ya por completo en su ecosistema. </strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Tras abandonar sus estudios de física, Theo Jansen empezó s</em></strong><strong><em>u carrera artística en los 70 como pintor. Posteriormente se comenzó a interesar por áreas como la aeronáutica y la robótica. Su &#8220;UFO&#8221; (OVNI), una aeronave con forma de platillo volante con la que aterrorizaba a los habitantes de la ciudad holandesa de Delft, y su &#8220;máquina de pintar&#8221;, un robot que traza graffitis sobre una pared, mostraron su habilidad para aplicar sus conocimientos de ingeniería a diferentes proyectos artísticos. </em></strong><strong><em>A comienzos de los 80, Jansen comenzó a crear programas de simulación algorítimica de vida artificial. Su interés por diseñar organismos vivos y autónomos a través de software le lleva a iniciar su serie de esculturas cinéticas &#8220;Strandbeest&#8221;, el proyecto que le ha proporcionado un reconocimiento a nivel internacional. Entre otros galardones, Jansen ha recibido el premio especial del jurado en Ars Electronica 2005. </em></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>[De <a href="http://einflinux1.uoc.edu/~netart/index.php/Portada" target="_blank">aproximacion al net.art, la enciclopedia libre</a>]<br />
<!-- start content -->Tradicionalmente, el arte había sido patrimonio de una elite que lo usaba para su propio disfrute y con fines propagandísticos. Con la llegada de la mercantilización del arte éste acabó convirtiéndose en un objeto de consumo.</p>
<p>Las vanguardias de principios del siglo XX reaccionaron contra ese mercantilismo y contra el concepto de buen gusto, entendido como una imposición de la clase social dominante, y se esforzaron en desarrollar tendencias artísticas que no resultasen atractivas para el mercado. A pesar de ello el mercado del arte las absorbió y pasaron a ser un ámbito de especulación financiera más.</p>
<p>En la Rusia soviética también se produjo una fase de arte comprometido con la revolución, aunque acabaría perdiendo todo su carácter experimental y convirtiéndose en propaganda del régimen cuando éste se consolidó.</p>
<p>A lo largo del siglo XX, en las sociedades occidentales fueron surgiendo nuevas formas de entender la actividad artística que intentaban una y otra vez reaccionar contra el dominio del mercado pero que también fueron incorporando nuevos elementos de crítica que se centraban en la propia cultura artística o que denunciaban aspectos concretos de la sociedad. El activismo dentro del net.art sería heredero de estas tendencias.</p>
<p>Entre ellas cabría destacar:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.enlloc.org/taller_obert/gmmd/netarapox-v2/09/imatges/activismo_ant.gif" alt="activismo_ant.gif" /><span id="more-169"></span></p>
<ul>
<li> <strong>Dadaísmo</strong>: Como reacción ante la barbarie que supuso la Primera Guerra Mundial, este movimiento proclamaba en sus manifiestos una defensa de la guerra en el arte, especialmente contra el mercado del arte y contra la forma burguesa de aproximación al arte.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> <strong>Situacionistas</strong>: Sus planteamientos eran netamente revolucionarios en el sentido político del término. Las prácticas artísticas eran concebidas como una forma más de asumir un cambio del sistema social. Por ejemplo, en su manifiesto del 17 de mayo de 1960 proponían la toma de la Unesco. Consideraban al arte como un frente de lucha más de la revolución.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> <strong>Arte de acción</strong>: Esta tendencia convertía la obra en algo efímero más cercano a una acción o acontecimiento que a un objeto, evitando su cosificación y por tanto dificultando su comercialización. Entre sus distintas modalidades destacamos:
<ul>
<li> <strong>Happening</strong>: rompía las reglas del mercado pero también las de relación social. Por una parte desmaterializaba la obra y por otra exigía al espectador que no se conformase con ser un mero espectador de la historia y participase activamente en el desarrollo de los acontecimientos.</li>
<li> <strong>Body art</strong>: tomaba al cuerpo humano como herramienta o como soporte de la obra de arte, en algunos casos con un carácter provocador mediante autoimputaciones y ceremonias obscenas.</li>
<li> <strong>Fluxus</strong>: algunas variantes de esta modalidad cuestionaron abiertamente la profesionalización del arte y el propio concepto de bellas artes y de belleza. Otras variantes se vincularon directamente a grupos radicales de izquierdas&#8230;</li>
</ul>
</li>

<li> <strong>Arte conceptual</strong>: Al avanzar en la linea de desmaterialización de la obra de arte y dar prioridad a los aspectos conceptuales, esta tendencia artística atacaba las propias bases del mercado del arte, puesto que no dejaba nada con que comercializar.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> <strong>Land art</strong>: tendencia que se caracterizó por el uso de la naturaleza como objeto de la intervención artística mediante distintos procedimientos de manipulación, construcción o empaquetamiento. Sus obras no podían encerrarse en el circuito elitista de los museos y las galerías, tampoco podían comercializarse y en algunos casos se utilizaron como instrumento de denuncia ecológica.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> <strong>Video Art</strong>: con la consolidación de los medios de comunicación de masas aparecieron también utilizaciones artísticas de estos medios que exploraban aplicaciones alternativas y se valían de ellos como soporte de visiones críticas. Entre ellas el video art.</li>

<p>Un pequeño terremoto ha sacudido este verano el mundillo artístico. El epicentro han sido las famosas y provocadoras latas de <em>Merde d&#8217;artiste</em> de <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piero_Manzoni" target="_blank">Piero Manzoni</a> cuyo contenido parece ser uno de los misterios mejor guardados del arte contemporáneo. ¿Qué hay en su interior? Con seguridad, nadie parece saberlo. Un colega suyo afirma que hay yeso. A los coleccionistas, que han llegado a pagar 97.000 euros por un ejemplar, les da igual.<span id="more-164"></span></p>
<p>La <em>Merde d&#8217;artiste</em> de Manzoni es tal vez el artefacto más curioso e intrigante de la historia reciente del arte. Se trata de un múltiple, es decir, 90 latas de conserva de pequeño tamaño con una etiqueta que pone, en varios idiomas: &#8220;Mierda de artista. Contenido neto: 30 gramos. Conservado al natural. Producida y envasada en mayo de 1961&#8243;. Sobre la tapa, el número de la lata y la estampación de la firma del artista: Piero Manzoni.</p>
<p>La opinión que tenía Manzoni sobre el mercado del arte y su funcionamiento queda meridianamente clara con esta pieza que, precisamente, en su irónica radicalidad intentaba llevar al límite la capacidad de asimilación del consumismo aplicado al arte. Puso a la venta las latas equiparando su peso al del oro, una equivalencia que no era nueva en una época en la que los artistas comenzaban a dar el <em>gran salto</em> de las obras a los conceptos. &#8220;No hay nada que decir, sólo hay que ser, sólo hay que vivir&#8221;, escribió Manzoni en 1960 como colofón de su texto teórico <em>Dimensión libre</em>. Años antes, un joven Yves Klein había vendido, con éxito, sus &#8220;zonas de sensibilidad pictórica inmaterial&#8221;, que cambiaba por 20 gramos de oro. El artista francés no vendía nada tangible, sólo una idea que se materializaba en un acto ritual que consistía en que él tiraba el oro al río mientras el coleccionista quemaba el recibo de la venta.</p>
<p>Klein falleció en 1962 a los 34 años. Al año siguiente, el 6 de febrero de 1963, encontraron muerto a Piero Manzoni en su estudio de la calle Fiori Chiari de Milán, de un infarto o un colapso alcohólico, según las diferentes fuentes. Tenía 29 años. Su periodo activo como artista es corto, de 1956 a 1963, pero según como se mire aprovechó el tiempo -en los últimos tiempos no paró de viajar y de inaugurar exposiciones- y, además, con sus latas de mierda superó en radicalidad tanto a las propuestas de Klein como, en cierta manera, a las de su inspirador, Marcel Duchamp, cuyo urinario <em>(Fontaine,</em> de 1917), además de resultar igualmente escatológico, es el punto de partida de una gran parte del arte del siglo XX.</p>
<p><a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piero_Manzoni" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.pep-web.org/document.php?id=cjp.011.0465.fig002.jpg" align="right" height="378" width="262" /></a>La polémica sobre el contenido de <em>Merde d&#8217;artiste </em>la desató hace poco el artista italiano Agostino Bonalumi con un artículo en el <em>Corriere della Sera</em> en el que desvelaba que las famosas latas no contenían lo que decían, es decir, excrementos producidos por Manzoni, sino, seguramente, yeso. La &#8220;noticia&#8221; ha corrido como la pólvora y ha abierto el debate en los foros de Internet, en su mayoría afectos a la versión de que es una prueba más del &#8220;gran engaño&#8221; que es buena parte del arte contemporáneo, pero de momento parece que no ha afectado ni a la valoración del artista por los especialistas -Manzoni tiene muchos <em>fans-</em> ni a su cotización en el mercado.</p>
<p>Según el índice Artprice, la última <em>Merde d&#8217;artiste</em> vendida por Sotheby&#8217;s el pasado 22 de mayo en Milán se adjudicó por 96.774 euros, casi 30.000 euros más que la anterior, vendida en febrero por Christie&#8217;s en Nueva York. La mayoría de las latas está en manos privadas, pero algunos museos, como la Tate Modern, el Moma o el Pompidou, ya la tienen en sus colecciones como una de sus piezas más preciadas.</p>
<p>Bonalumi, amigo y colega de Manzoni en sus últimos años, relaciona la idea de la <em>Merde d&#8217;artiste</em> con una experiencia del verano anterior en el que ambos, junto a Enrico Castellani, habían expuesto en una galería milanesa sin prácticamente ningún éxito económico. No consiguieron, explica, que un galerista supuestamente amante del arte actual quisiera sus obras ni regaladas. <em>&#8220;Questi stronzi di borghesi milanesi vogliano la merda&#8221; (&#8220;Estos estúpidos burgueses milaneses quieren mierda&#8221;),</em> farfulló Manzoni. Y eso les dio. Y la pagaron bien.</p>
<p>La confesión de Bonalumi desvela tanto resentimiento y egolatría por parte de Manzoni como rebelión ante el &#8220;gusto burgués&#8221; formalista ajeno a la bomba de profundidad que supusieron el dadaísmo y otras vanguardias para el concepto mismo de arte y de libertad creativa. Manzoni se dedicó obsesivamente a dar vueltas a estos temas. Sus <em>acrómonos</em> son cuadros blancos matéricos con texturas en realidad no buscadas. En un parque de la ciudad danesa de Herning colocó su <em>Base del mundo</em> (1961), un pedestal que sostiene el mundo. Es así porque las letras están al revés, hay que leerlas desde el cielo. También firmó personas y adjuntaba el certificado de que él, artista, declaraba obra de arte a Zutanito a Menganito, entre ellos al mismísimo Umberto Eco. Según explican, a veces era toda la persona y otras sólo una parte de su cuerpo. Las <em>líneas</em> son, seguramente, su serie más celebrada. Pintaba una línea de determinada longitud -la más larga fue de 7.200 metros- y después la ponía en una lata cerrada al vacío con la inscripción sobre su longitud.</p>
<p>Pero tuvo otras series célebres. La de los <em>fiatto d&#8217;aire</em> tiene una subserie consistente en globos que el artista había inflado <em>in person,</em> es decir, contienen la &#8220;respiración del artista&#8221;, que puso a la venta acompañado de un estuche y un accesorio para colocar el globo una vez inflado. El Macba tiene uno. La serie de los huevos con huellas dactilares del artista que después el público asistente a la galería se comía en una especie de comunión artística, se relaciona, por lo de la digestión, con la <em>Merde d&#8217;artiste,</em> que, no hace falta decir, es la obra por la que ha pasado a la historia.</p>
<p>Conceptos aparte, esta pieza despierta risa, asombro y también cierto morbo por saber si, efectivamente, Manzoni cumple lo que firma en la etiqueta. Bonalumi dice con toda lógica que, si fuera mierda, a estas alturas, hace ya 40 años que se murió Manzoni, la lata se habría corrompido por la materia orgánica. Por eso cree que dentro hay yeso o algún producto plástico, pero, ojo, advierte de que no será él quien abra la lata. Y ahí está el quid de la cuestión. Otro artista, el francés Bernard Bazile, lleva años dándole vueltas al tema. En 1989 ya escenificó una supuesta apertura de una lata de Manzoni de la que sólo quedan fotografías y poca información clara.</p>
<p>El mismo artista realizó en 2004 una exposición, en el Instituto de Arte Contemporáneo de Villeurbane, que le llevó varios años de trabajo ya que consistió en buscar a los propietarios de las latas de <em>Merde d&#8217;artiste</em> y entrevistarlos. Además de un vídeo con 11 horas de grabación y la instalación, el centro publicó un libro sobre el tema que resulta tremendamente instructivo <em>(Les propiétaires. Bazile-Manzoni).</em> Aparecen los retratos y recortes de declaraciones de decenas de propietarios de las latas. No tiene desperdicio. Y valga el símil. Los hay que la tienen como inversión segura, otros por devoción, algunos porque es lo que hay que tener, y casi todos porque sólo hay 90, son famosas y se cotizan. &#8220;Hemos transformado la mierda en oro y me incluyo entre los responsables, los culpables&#8221;, comenta Massimo Minini, uno de los coleccionistas entrevistados. &#8220;Ahora ya no hay nada que hacer. Es por esto por lo que Manzoni es un gran artista. No sé si él lo había previsto, pero de todas maneras, ha provocado esta reacción. Esta pequeña lata que da risa, finalmente, que al menos habría querido dar risa si no fuera que va contra el sistema, se ha convertido en una obra maestra, o, al menos, en un fetiche&#8221;.</p>
<p>Jens Jörgen Thorsen, artista sueco ya fallecido, explicó a Bazile que su colega Manzoni se reía con la posibilidad de que a un coleccionista le explotara la lata y empezara a rebosar la mierda. Dice Thorsen que le pasó a él, por tenerla mal conservada, y que la tiró. Así que sólo quedarían 89&#8230; Otra coleccionista dice que tenía un agujero y la puso en la nevera hasta que su marido la obligó a venderla. Algunos la tienen en una urna de metacrilato, otros en la caja fuerte del banco. El galerista suizo Bruno Bischofberger explica que la tiene en el almacén, no sabe bien dónde&#8230; Todo un retrato del mercado del arte.</p>
<p>¿Qué hay en la lata de Manzoni? ¿Importa mucho? Los propietarios de Bazile discrepan. Para algunos, tanto da porque la obra, el fetiche, ya ha entrado en el mito y, por lo tanto, en el mercado. Para otros, no puede ser mierda; otros aseguran que es lo que hay, algunos reconocen que les tienta abrirla pero no se atreven&#8230; En contacto con el servicio de prensa de la Tate Modern, este diario sólo pudo obtener esta respuesta a su pregunta sobre si habían hecho algún tipo de estudio respecto al contenido de la lata: &#8220;Piero Manzoni es una de los principales artistas de la historia del arte del siglo XX y está en importantes colecciones de arte moderno alrededor del mundo. <em>Merde d&#8217;artiste</em> es una pieza seminal y central en relación con su fascinación con el valor comercial y la autenticidad de la obra de arte. Nosotros no podemos abrir la lata si no queremos destruir la obra&#8221;. Habrá que pedirle ayuda al CSI.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="content"> <em>[PLAGIARISMO fue una exposición de hace más de año y medio, pero publico este post porque el tema no pierde vigencia, y me resulta muy interesante. A continuación, un extracto que he encontrado de la noticia publicada por El Periódico]</em></p>
<p class="content"><a href="http://kevin.perromat.neuf.fr/plagio/3.2.Historia_del_plagio.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.tinet.org/~boek861/dplagio/_casaencendida2.JPG" align="left" /></a><strong>Una muestra considera el plagio una fuente de creación subversiva<br />
</strong>&#8216;Plagiarismo&#8217; reflexiona sobre la evolución cultural del concepto de copia</p>
<p>A buen seguro, la exposición <em>Plagiarismo</em> no gustará a la SGAE. La  guardiana del <em>copyright</em> no se ha pronunciado hasta el momento sobre esta muestra, que inició su andadura en la Casa Encendida en Madrid explicando e ilustrando cómo el plagio, o la copia, puede ser también fuente de creación y subversión. La polémica muestra, comandada por Jordi Costa y Álex Mendíbil, en el Espai Cultural Caja Madrid, donde permanecerá hasta el 4 de julio, establece una cata en la historia de la cultura y su consecuente reflexión, no exenta de humor. &#8220;Lo que queremos es provocar el debate&#8221;, apunta Costa echando mano de una paradoja: &#8220;Cualquier plagiario que puede pagar los derechos del original está libre de culpa&#8221;. Y el comisario pone como ejemplo clarificador el sampler que Madonna ha realizado a partir de Abba o la reiteración que Hollywood acostumbra a hacer de una misma película.<span id="more-163"></span></p>
<p>Los comisarios analizan el fenómeno a través de dos fuerzas opuestas: la histórica, que desde siempre ha canibalizado el arte sin complejos y la opuesta y más moderna que, con la ley en la mano, equipara plagio y delito. Costa y Mendíbil se apuntan a la teoría memética según la cual &#8220;el fenómeno plagiario ya se inicia en nuestro adn, que se desarrolla a base de copiarse a sí mismo&#8221;.</p>
<p>DISCURSO ILUSTRADO</p>
<p>Las piezas de <em>Plagiarismo</em> ilustran ese discurso que los autores  remontan al <em>Quijote de Avellaneda</em> o a los muchos pastiches generados por  el personaje de <em>Sherlock Holmes</em>, más allá de su creador Conan Doyle. Así  vemos la instalación <em>Apocalipse Now</em>, de Artemio Narro, que sincroniza el discurso final de Kurtz, el personaje de Marlon Brando en la película de Coppola, con la tierna imagen de <em>Winnie the Pooh</em>. O la manipulación musical que  David Domingo hace de la película <em>El exorcista</em> de William Friedkin:  &#8220;Además de vomitar, canta&#8221;, prometen con ironía los rótulos de la muestra.</p>
<p>Así, al tiempo que el espectador se entera de que Disney jamás pagó derechos de autor por su &#8220;saqueo&#8221; a los cuentos infantiles europeos, se le ofrece la oportunidad de pintarrajear una réplica de La Gioconda de Leonardo, partiendo de la manipulación de Marcel Duchamp, que le añadió unos irreverentes bigotes, o de ver cómo el concepto de autoría en la música folk americana &#8211;unos auriculares permiten constatarlo&#8211; tiene unas imprecisas fronteras.</p>
<p>Orson Welles, que con su película <em>Fraude</em> elaboró un discurso similar,  tiene un lugar de honor en <em>Plagiarismo</em>. Especialmente con la inclusión de algunas de la copias que el protagonista del filme, Elmyr d&#8217;Hory, hizo de algunas de las obras maestras de la pintura. Esas falsificaciones han sido prestadas por un coleccionista residente en Eivissa.</p>
<p>La música y especialmente las mezclas de algunos dj&#8217;s tienen su ejemplo en el  híbrido que Dj Danger Mouse hizo del <em>White</em> <em>album</em> de los Beatles  con el <em>Black</em> <em>album</em> de Jay Z, produciendo el <em>Grey</em> <em>album</em>, cuya posibilidad de descarga en un solo día marcó una jornada histórica en internet. Según los comisarios, este tipo de creación plagiaria conlleva una mayor peligrosidad para el sistema, que, sin embargo, ve con buenos ojos cómo &#8220;la publicidad crea y multiplica sus mensajes&#8221;.</p>
<p>Más curiosa es la forma en la que el tercer mundo afronta la idea de copia  sin complejos. Es el caso de la <em>turkexplotation</em>, de la que se exhibe una  selección. Se trata de versiones de superproducciones como <em>La guerra de las  galaxia</em>s, <em>Spiderman</em> o <em>Star</em> <em>Trek</em> realizadas sin el menor  rubor en Turquía con presupuestos ínfimos. Toda una joya del <em>trash</em>.</p>

<p>Si la naturaleza ha creado alguna cosa menos susceptible que las demás de ser objeto de propiedad exclusiva, esa es la acción del poder del pensamiento que llamamos idea, algo que un individuo puede poseer de manera exclusiva mientras la tenga guardada. Sin embargo, en el momento en que se divulga, se fuerza a sí misma a convertirse en posesión de todos, y su receptor no puede desposeerse de ella. Su peculiar carácter es también tal que nadie posee menos de ellas porque otros posean el todo. Aquel que recibe una idea mía, recibe instrucción sin mermar la mía, del mismo modo que quien disfruta de mi vela encendida recibe mi luz sin que yo reciba menos. El hecho de que las ideas se puedan difundir libremente de unos a otros por todo el globo, para moral y mutua instrucción de las personas y para la mejora de su condición, parece haber sido concebido de manera peculiar y benevolente por la naturaleza, cuando las hizo, como el fuego, susceptibles de expandirse por el espacio, si ver reducida su densidad en ningún momento y, como el aire, en el que respiramos, nos movemos y se desarrolla nuestro ser físico, incapaz de ser confinadas o poseídas de manera exclusiva. Las invenciones, pues, no pueden ser, por su naturaleza, sujetas a propiedad. &#8211; THOMAS JEFFERSON</p>

<p><strong>The curse of modernism<br />
</strong>The search for truth can take us    to the most unlikely places. As post-war domesticity and prosperity settled    over much of America, the growing rift between haves and have-nots exposed    serious doubts about the promise of modernism and a modern life. An honest    appraisal of a deteriorating American condition didn&#8217;t come from the cloistered    towers of celebrated universities or intellectual cafés thick with    smoke. It came from the heart of the ghetto where new voices were quick    to take up arms against the status quo. Holstered with felt tip markers    and spray cans, truth was recognized in a colorful show of force and bravado.    For graffiti artists, manipulating letters became lifeblood and fighting    back meant getting ill, and ill-legible.</p>

<p>Holstered with felt tip markers and spray cans, truth was recognized in    a colorful show of force and bravado. For graffiti artists, manipulating    letters became lifeblood and fighting back meant getting ill, and ill-legible.</p>
<p>Because modernism was considered positive, rational, and objective, architects    like Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe championed its capacity to facilitate    a new social order. They prophesized that technological progress and a    reconsidered urban plan would result in &#8220;better living through architecture.&#8221; Although    Le Corbusier applied his concepts to a series of theoretical, large scale    housing projects, cities like Paris were wary of the plans and rejected    his ideas. But by the end of World War II the need for new housing stock    (both in Europe and the United States) persuaded a generation of architects    and urban planners to embrace Le Corbusier&#8217;s Utopian vision. The dream    that modernism could somehow ameliorate living conditions never came true.    Instead, just the opposite occurred. Anonymous, cheap, high-density housing    isolated its inhabitants from the greater city and exacerbated socio-economic    problems. It prompted Charles Jencks, the architect credited for popularizing    the term post-modernism, to date the symbolic end of modernism as July    15, 1972. That&#8217;s when the prize-winning Pruitt-Igoe housing development    in St. Louis was demolished. Designed in 1951 by Minoru Yamasaki (who went    on to design the World Trade Center towers) the project included 33 eleven    story buildings, 2870 apartments, and when it was initially conceived,    not one playground.</p>

<em>Pruitt Igoe Housing Project. Photo: <a href="http://www.affordablehousinginstitute.org/" target="_blank">www.affordablehousinginstitute.org</a>;    Tags. Photo:<a href="http://www.graffitiresearchlab.com" target="_blank"> Graffiti    Research Lab</a></em></p>
<p>It&#8217;s easy to see how a generation of restless teenagers growing up in    high-rise and low-rise ghettos doubted and eventually rejected modernism    and its oppressive reality. For them, modernism represented systemic irrationality,    negativity, half truths, poor education, and limited access to economic    empowerment. However, when a self-aware subculture rose out of the urban    core to embrace plurality, fragmentation, and indeterminacy, something    clicked. In retaliation they shaped an honest reflection of their lives    from a fundamentally post-modern lens that pitted them against larger forces    that had denied them individual value and cultural identity. Adventurous    teens did this with no capital and no organizational power. They fought    back with one of the few things they could control, words.</p>
<p>By focusing on just their name, &#8220;bombing&#8221; (tagging) it over and over again    in different styles, teenagers developed an intuitive understanding of    how the building blocks of language could be controlled for their specific    needs. No wonder these artists referred to themselves as writers and their    work as writing.</p>
<p><strong>The power of language<br />
</strong>Hegel wrote that, &#8220;To learn to read and write an alphabetic writing    should be regarded as a means to infinite culture.&#8221; The post-structuralist    French philosopher Michel Foucault wrote that, &#8220;Language is oppression,&#8221; because    it is developed to allow only those people who speak it not to be oppressed.    During the late 1960s overcoming socio-emotional hurdles necessitated both    Hegel&#8217;s key to unlocking infinite culture and Foucault&#8217;s understanding    of language&#8217;s deeper power. Once harnessed, an unusual torrent of creative,    language-based experimentation and expression flowed from inner cities    like New York and Philadelphia. It turned tables, oppressed the oppressor,    and lit the fuse for a contemporary graffiti movement.</p>
<p>It all started with the tag. The first were rudimentary in contrast to    today&#8217;s complex signatures but were steeped in a layer of political and    social dynamism that is no longer possible. Loosely derived from territorial    gang marks, early graffiti artists like TAKI 183, JULIO 204, and LEE 163    included their name and street numbers as a first step toward identity,    attention, and respect in an otherwise stark and ruthless city. During    his day as a foot messenger TAKI 183 was able to tag office buildings,    subway stations, mail boxes, and the inside and outsides of subway cars.    He was the first to go &#8220;all-city&#8221; a title of reverence reserved    for the graffiti artist that gained visual prominence throughout all five    boroughs of New York City. Recognition for TAKI 183 and enthusiasm for    the burgeoning graffiti scene was stoked when, in 1971, the New York Times    published an article about the omnipresence of the messenger&#8217;s curious    mark. It quickly led to surge in tagging.</p>
<p>Contemporary graffiti&#8217;s connection to post-modernism certainly began as    a response to the flaws of modernism but it was able to establish itself    as an independent discipline that understood how to manage and employ meaning    within a cultural context.</p>
<p>&#8220;Getting up&#8221;, the recognition that comes with the near constant    act of tagging your name, became the driving force in the nascent graffiti    scene. As a result the application of tags proliferated through crowded    urban housing projects and high-traffic public transit systems until surfaces    were covered in permanent inks. The competitive nature of graffiti, a hold-over    from urban gang activity, was played out in non-violent &#8220;battles&#8221; that    featured spray cans and skill instead of knives and strength. (The competitive    nature of graffiti would seep into and boost the related youth sub-culture    of hip-hop dance and music.) More importantly, competition brought about    the stylistic innovations that were necessary to distinguish one tag from    the rest. These revealed themselves in unique hand styles and lettering    including the use of bubble letters, complicated scripts, calligraphic    flourishes, flexible ascenders and descenders, new ligatures, simple illustrations,    and cartoon characters. In many cases a combination of these left tags    illegible to all but the graffiti artists. By focusing on just their name, &#8220;bombing&#8221; (tagging)    it over and over again in different styles, teenagers developed an intuitive    understanding of how the building blocks of language could be controlled    for their specific needs. No wonder these artists referred to themselves    as writers and their work as writing.</p>

<p><strong>A post-modern condition<br />
</strong>Post-modernism, with its distrust of universal judgements and hostility        toward hierarchies of value, reflected a shift away from the establishment        toward the pluralism of an increasingly global society. The interconnections        of globalism not only increased communication, trade, and overseas manufacturing        but also decentralized accepted political and commercial power bases as        well as their centers of intellectual production. They allowed for cultural        pluralism to succeed where previously it had not and exerted further pressure        on the concept of stylistic unity. Wide-spread sharing resulted in a democratisation        of taste where the values of struggling social classes could survive and        thrive in micro-economies that performed outside the well-oiled machine        of mass commercial markets. Contemporary graffiti&#8217;s connection to post-modernism        certainly began as a response to the flaws of modernism but it was able        to establish itself as an independent discipline that understood how to        manage and employ meaning within a cultural context.</p>
<p>In arts and architecture the post-modern was evident in the way familiar    styles and spaces were recreated and reviewed. Wit, ornament, and historical    reference collided in an eclecticism that was best summed up by the architect    Robert Venturi when, in his watershed book, <em>Complexity and Contradiction    in Architecture </em>, he turned Mies van der Rohe&#8217;s favorite doctrine, &#8220;Less    is more,&#8221; inside out by noting, &#8220;Less is a bore.&#8221; Venturi    argued for a pluralism of meaning in architecture that adequately reflected    a diverse society. He wrote, &#8220;I like elements which are a hybrid rather    than pure, compromising rather than clean, distorted rather than straightforward,    ambiguous rather than articulated, perverse as well as impersonal, boring    as well as interesting, conventional rather than designed, accommodating    rather than excluding, redundant rather than simple, vestigial as well    as innovating, inconsistent and equivocal rather than direct and clear.    I am for messy vitality over obvious unity.&#8221;</p>

<p>Applied to graffiti, Venturi&#8217;s ideas on a valid architecture described    one of writing&#8217;s most interesting characteristics: its ability to reconsider    letter forms, reformulate language, and destroy the accepted hierarchies    of communication. With no artificially imposed order and the inherent decentralization    of postmodernism as its guide, graffiti writers used irony (in the form    of the oppressor becoming the oppressed), double coding (writers communicated    simultaneous messages to different social groups), and paradox (the inherent    illegibility of their work), as tools to change our shared expectations    of how, where, and why we communicate. It is an archetypal study in semiotics    where signs and symbols are used to recognize how meaning is formulated    and perceived. It is also an example of how information can be transferred    and data decoded between sender and receiver.</p>

<p><strong>Change happens<br />
</strong>In just over a decade graffiti writers      were able to evolve their work from one color tags to kaleidoscopic subway      cars and then to &#8220;wild      style&#8221; pieces with highly ornamented and intricate lettering. This      evolution is proof of the inherent competition that forced writers to consistently      experiment and of graffiti&#8217;s incongruous relationship with the marketplace.      Unlike traditional applications where type, layout, and design serve the      needs of buyers and sellers, writers had no allegiance to anyone or anything.      With no pressure and no labels such as &#8220;success&#8221; or &#8220;failure&#8221; to      limit them, writers moved from student to teacher, directing a hip-hop      revolution that would eventually position their urban culture as the      predominant commercial lifestyle in America.</p>
<p>Graffiti artists did reach a crossroads in the 1980s. As teachers, they    provided for (but couldn&#8217;t cash in on) a generation of profitable hip-hop    products that were scooped up, repackaged, and sold by marketers from coast    to coast. As artists, some tried to find acceptance through mainstream    cultural outlets but ended up playing muse to the likes of Keith Haring    or Jean Michel Basquiat. As writers, with too much time and too little    money, they were on a collision course with a political system that was    coordinating their demise. City Hall saw graffiti not as the effect of    social ills but as its cause. Between 1984 and 1990 New York City adopted    George Kelling&#8217;s Broken Window Theory and veraciously targeted graffiti.    Subway cars were buffed clean on a regular basis and any car that had been    tagged was taken out of service. Penalties for those caught writing were    increased and access to subway and commuter train layover yards obstructed    by new barbed wire fencing. Eventually graffiti proof, Teflon coatings    were applied to subway cars, denying writers their best canvas and all    but killing their pursuit.</p>

<p>Even as politicians and police continued to attack writing as a serious    crime, the 1990s saw the acceptance of graffiti writing grow until it became    an integral part of global fashion, music, graphic design, and illustration.    In trying to understand how counter intuitive shifts are eventually accepted    by society architect Bernard Tschumi wrote in his treatise, <em>Violence    in Architecture </em>, &#8220;If the Sistine Chapel were used for pole-vaulting    events, architecture would then cease to yield to its customary good intensions.    For a while the transgression would be real and all-powerful. Yet the transgression    of cultural expectations soon becomes accepted. Just as violent Surrealist    collages inspire advertising rhetoric, the broken rule is integrated into    everyday life.&#8221;</p>
<p>While deconstructivist architects, including Zaha Hadid, Frank Gehry,    Thom Mayne, and Daniel Libeskind, have avoided this or any other title    that might place artificial restrictions upon them, graffiti writers have    been going about their work oblivious to the fact that they, more so than    architects, are defining both a visual and spatial representation of deconstruction.</p>
<p><strong>New interpretations<br />
</strong>Graffiti, in its most pure form, had fulfilled its promise. By this time      the original rebirth writers that came out of the ghetto could no longer      sustain their participation. Time and times had inevitably changed. The      freedoms of postmodernism gave way to a technological and information revolution.      No longer confined to the urban core and no longer propelled by one socio-economic      identity, tech-savvy writers used the cumulative work of their predecessors      as a palimpsest to violate what had come before and reinvent graffiti writing      all over again.</p>
<p>It was inevitable that new tools and a dose of cross-fertilization would    force the complete pliability and subversion of letters and language as    part of a wave of deconstructive thought. Deconstruction, as it relates    to philosophic applications, was posited by Jacques Derrida who challenged    existing theoretical texts by exposing them to the innate ambiguity of    language. He suggested that words have different meanings based on each    reader&#8217;s past experiences, cultural connections, or social influences.    Under these circumstances absolutes disappear and an author&#8217;s original    intent is open to infinite subjectivity. In a Domus magazine interview    from 1986 Derrida described his intent, &#8220;Deconstruction&#8230;analyzes and    compares conceptual pairs which are currently accepted as self evident    and natural, as if they had not been institutionalized at some precise    moment, as if they had no history. Because of being taken for granted they    restrict thinking.&#8221; It is important to note that rather than a negative    process of dismantling, deconstruction is more accurately defined as affirmative    because it frees concepts from their historic foundations and opens up    new possibility. (Even Nietzsche said that all perception is interpretation.)</p>
<p>Marcel Duchamp was the first deconstructive artist when he questioned    value and authenticity by releasing everyday objects from their traditional    meaning and proudly proclaiming them Readymades. Duchamp did it again with    analytical cubism where form could be viewed from multiple perspectives.    Today architecture is considered best positioned to interpret the visual    and physical expressions of deconstruction. What constitutes a deconstructive    architecture is still an open question: a non-linear design process, manipulation    of surface or skin, geometric imbalances, distorted spaces, rejection of    historical precedent, influence from Russian Constructivists, or just controlled    chaos. Architect and author Mark Wigley says it&#8217;s simply, &#8220;the ability    to disturb our thinking about form&#8221; that makes a project deconstructive.</p>

<p>While deconstructivist architects, including Zaha Hadid, Frank Gehry,    Thom Mayne, and Daniel Libeskind, have avoided this or any other title    that might place artificial restrictions upon them, graffiti writers have    been going about their work oblivious to the fact that they, more so than    architects, are defining both a visual and spatial representation of deconstruction.    The reason for this is that deconstruction in constantly teasing out meaning    from meta-language, the language used to describe language. Unlike architecture,    graffiti writers base their work in the same vocabulary and tools as their    theoretical counterparts. No longer concerned solely with post-modern ornamentation    today&#8217;s writers are dismantling letter forms piece by piece and forming    their own meta-language for a small army of citizen philosophers. Long-accepted    letter forms have been ditched and the door has been opened to an alternate    universe where the re-organization of information and the exploration of    semiotics continues.</p>

<p>The best examples of this are cross-fertilizations where language and    architecture merge. Hybrid &#8220;typogritecture&#8221;, breaks apart and    reprocesses letters through a deconstructive filter only to be re-engineered    into unrecognizable symbols that carry graffiti&#8217;s unique message. JOKER    has stretched the letters if his tag into a series highly gestured techtonic    plates that shift and dip on the page and in public spaces.</p>

<p>DAIM&#8217;s writing, reminiscent of Zaha Hadid&#8217;s large scale paintings, relies        on heavily layered dimensional tags that simultaneously leap off the      wall and drop into deep space.</p>

<p>DELTA has transcended traditional elements like spray paint, using sculptural      devices to create complex tags more suited to robotics and the electrosphere      than to the street.</p>

<p>In      one of the more interesting hybrid explorations the Dutch writer ZEDZ has      teamed with the architecture studio of Maurer United Architects on a proposal      to build his tag into large-scale street furniture for the campus of the      Eindhoven University of Technology.</p>

<p>Recognizable in the work of all these writers is the easy integration    of technical elements derived from the computer and architectural drafting    software. The results are true and the writing has obviously pushed the    boundaries of how language can be visualized and communicated. Yet there    is something unreal about it. There comes a point in which upsetting narrative    content and violating a utilitarian need causes these technically perfected    and abstracted tags to become at once meaningful and meaningless. The writing    is iconographic and each piece lives as a magnet for our attention, but    they are increasingly difficult to connect to personal experiences. Lacking    the raw energy and power or the history and shared experience that comes    with racking paint and cutting chain link fence, these pieces float in    a world of fiction. They are unreal and it&#8217;s easy to doubt their authenticity.</p>
<p>Hybrid &#8220;typogritecture&#8221;, breaks apart and reprocesses letters    through a deconstructive filter only to be re-engineered into unrecognizable    symbols that carry graffiti&#8217;s unique message. JOKER has stretched the letters    if his tag into a series highly gestured techtonic plates that shift and    dip on the page and in public spaces.</p>
<p><strong>Language dissolves, communication fails<br />
</strong>Watching from the sidelines as a new language is formed, evolves, and    falls apart is a rare opportunity. Having the activity compressed into    just a few decades is a rare treat. That graffiti writing is dead is not    to say that it doesn&#8217;t happen anymore (just ask the owner constantly cleaning    tags from his building). But after a meteoric ride and the market&#8217;s slow    strangulation, graffiti has none of the rocket fuel that post-modernism    provided and the academic nature of deconstruction isn&#8217;t able to infuse    writing with the personal narrative that has gone missing. To recognize    that letters, like architecture and other modes of meaning, have limits    to their effectiveness, is part of the exciting experiment. It may be that,    as Bernard Tschumi describes, this is just a pause in which our current    violation can be absorbed.</p>
<p>More likely we have come to a definitive moment. Not because writers are    unable or unwilling to conjure up new constructions. They keep at it. But    without tension, sincerity or a revolutionary message the constant re-combinations    are, like deconstruction itself, just exercises open to doubt. The truth    is that Le Corbusier&#8217;s hope for an age of technology and progress that    could improve the lives of so many has finally arrived. A new global level    is doing today what the architect wanted his craft to do almost a century    ago. Information, access to it and the ability to manipulate it, is fulfilling    the promise of a new social order. And in the end it is the sheer volume    of data being sent and received through rational computer-based systems    that is rendering graffiti writing impractical. Bombing is losing out to    blogging and modernism has made a triumphant return.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" align="left">           <span style="font-size: 24pt; font-family: Times; color: #808080">           Rumours </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="left"><strong>           <span style="font-size: 26pt; font-family: Times; color: #808080">           I</span></strong><span style="font-family: Times; color: #808080">’ve            heard about something that builds up only through multiple,            heterogeneous and contradictory scenarios, something that rejects even            the idea of a possible prediction about its form of growth or future            typology.</span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" align="left"><font color="#808080">           <span style="font-family: Times">Something shapeless            grafted onto existing tissue, something that needs no vanishing point            to justify itself but instead welcomes a quivering existence immersed            in a real-time vibratory state, here and now.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="left">           <span style="font-family: Times; color: #808080">Tangled,            intertwined, it seems to be a city, or rather a fragment of a city.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="left">           <span style="font-family: Times; color: #808080">Its            inhabitants are <strong>immunized </strong>because they are both vectors and            protectors of this complexity.</span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" align="left"><font color="#808080">           <span style="font-family: Times">The multiplicity of its            interwoven experiences and forms is matched by the apparent simplicity            of its mechanisms.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="left">           <span style="font-family: Times; color: #808080">The <strong>           urban form</strong> no longer depends on the arbitrary decisions or control            over its emergence exercised by a few, but rather the ensemble of its            individual contingencies. It simultaneously subsumes premises,            consequences and the ensemble of induced perturbations, in a ceaseless            interaction. Its <strong>laws</strong> are consubstantial with the place itself,            with no work of memory.</span></p>
<p class="palatinolinotype" align="left">           <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Times; color: #808080">           Many different <strong>stimuli have </strong>contributed to the emergence of            “I’ve heard about,” and they are continually reloaded. Its existence            is inextricably linked to the end of the grand narratives, the            objective recognition of climatic changes, a suspicion of all morality            (even ecological), to the vibration of social phenomena and the urgent            need to renew the democratic mechanisms. <strong>Fiction</strong> is its reality            principle: What you have before your eyes conforms to the truth of the            urban condition of “I’ve heard about”.</span></p>
<p class="palatinolinotype" align="left">           <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Times; color: #808080">           What moral law or <strong>social contract</strong> could extract us from this            reality, prevent us from living there or protect us from it? No, the            residence protocol of “I’ve heard about” cannot cancel the risk of            being in this world. The inhabitants draw sustenance from the present,            with no time lag.  The form of the territorial structure draws its            sustenance directly from the present time..</span></p>
<p class="palatinolinotype" align="left">           <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Times; color: #808080">           “I’ve heard about” also arises from anguishes and anxieties. It’s not            a shelter against threats or an insulated, isolated place, but remains            open to all transactions. It is a <strong>zone of emancipation</strong>,            produced so that we can keep the origins of its founding act eternally            alive, so that we can always live with and re-experience that            beginning. </span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" align="left"><font color="#808080">           <span style="font-family: Times">Made of invaginations            and knotted geometries, life forms are embedded within it.  Its <strong>           growth</strong> is artificial and synthetic, owing nothing to chaos and the            formlessness of nature. It is based on very real processes that            generate the raw materials and operating modes of its evolution.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" align="left"><font color="#808080">           <span style="font-family: Times">The public sphere is            everywhere, like a pulsating organism driven by postulates that are            mutually contradictory and nonetheless true. The rumours and scenarios            that carry the seeds of its future mutations negotiate with the            vibratory time of new territories.</span></font></p>
<p class="palatinolinotype" align="left">           <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Times; color: #808080">           It is impossible to name all the elements “I’ve heard about” comprises            or to perceive it in its totality, because it belongs to <strong>the many,            the multitude</strong>. Only fragments can be extracted from it.</span></p>
<p class="palatinolinotype" align="left">           <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Times; color: #808080">           The world is terrifying when it’s intelligible, when it clings to some            semblance of predictability, when it seeks to preserve a false            coherence. In <strong>“</strong>I’ve heard about,” it is what is not there that            defines it, that guarantees its readability, its social and            territorial fragility and its indetermination.</span></p>

<p><strong>Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2006  </strong>        July-october 2006</p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">This                      year&#8217;s Serpentine Pavilion is co-designed by Pritzker Prize-winning                      architect Rem Koolhaas and innovative structural designer                      Cecil Balmond.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">The centrepiece of the design is a spectacular ovoid-shaped                      inflatable canopy that will float above the Gallery&#8217;s lawn.                      Made from translucent material, the structure will be illuminated                      from within at night. The canopy will be raised into the air                      or lowered to cover the amphitheatre below according to the                      weather.</font><span id="more-121"></span><br />

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"> </font><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"> The walled enclosure below the canopy will be used as a café                      and forum for daily televised and recorded public</font><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"> programmes                      including live talks and film screenings. The highlights will                      include two 16-hour events, bringing together leading artists,                      writers and thinkers to map the culture of London. This series                      of events will be a collaboration between Rem Koolhaas and                      Hans Ulrich Obrist.<br />
</font><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><br />
A major exhibition of works by the German artist, Thomas Demand,                      will be on show at the Serpentine during this period. Demand                      is developing work to be included in the Serpentine Gallery                      Pavilion 2006.<br />
</font><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><br />
Rem Koolhaas said: &#8220;The 2006 Serpentine Pavilion will                      be defined by events and activities. We are proposing a space                      that facilitates the inclusion of individuals in communal                      dialogue and shared experience.&#8221;<br />
</font><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><br />
Cecil Balmond said: &#8220;These Pavilions have evolved with                      various structural typologies and materials, provoking a debate                      on architecture; this year the exploration continues not only                      with typology and material but with the very definition of                      Pavilion&#8221;.</font><img src="http://static.flickr.com/70/191114269_71a95978fd.jpg?v=0" align="left" height="375" width="500" /><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/68/191128700_c0f0a63889.jpg?v=0" align="left" height="242" width="323" /></font></p>
