Tidy up Art

So what happens to the sense, notion, and identity of your face dissolved and rearranged into pieces ?

Like the French artist Armelle Caron explores in her playful series “Everything Tidy” doing to cities what Ursus Wehrli does to art. Deconstructing the familiar grid representations into “tidy” graphic anagrams. Dissect the symbolism, analyze the message.

The reinforcements are in place: the sand, the cement, the stones, the water to bury the archives are missing. Behind, all around, between two cracks, thrive, from left to right; a piece of steel from the collapsed World Trade Center, a piece from the damaged Pentagon in DC and a rock from the crash site of UA Flight 93 (Shanksville PA). The past shines like never before, without witnesses.

The only thing

Tags

I stand in amazement and wonder, what good thing did I do that pleased the Almighty and caused him to bless me so? I have reached the conclusion that the only thing I could have done to merit all this is that even in the most difficult times I never once had a complaint against the Creator. Rather, with every wave that passed over me, threatening to drown me, I bowed my head and accepted it with love.

Dispartment

Flying takes me a little far away, then, quietly and without words, i find myself on the edges, darker than the hills. If it were possible, I would transform every day into a different form of animal or vegetable life. I would, from time to time, be all varieties of flowers or mountain shrubs at the mercy of winds; or I would be a melodious singing bird. I would wander through mountains and seas! Live in the intimate substance of existence, like a naive plant.

Building a tower

Building a tower has been an incredible experience, challenging but I am proud of it. I hope in 20 years from now. I can still pass by and remember every little piece, every little hardware, every little joint that I had to review. In many humans achievements, architecture is the one that leaves the most it’s indelible imprint .

I learned more from creative people working on site than I do from other architects because they have a way of looking at things that is really practical. And this practically is missing in our profession, when we try to sell concepts to investors. I also realised as Corbusier said, that I prefer drawing to talking. Drawing is faster and leaves less room for lies.

The voice

Language needs a head no more, The robots will be the spokespersons.

Last voice tests, a series of vibrations that shape reality and words immediately fade out.

With a unique timbre, with a single refusal, in jerks and a block to make the air vibrate, shattering the language. As if the robots were going to drool over what one day we would have to tell them. They empty our chaotic language like an old oyster.

Various cryptic hints come out of the mouths of dead animals, like blooming in gravel. Shed light on this bizarre colourful history.

In the courtyard of their observatory ,cross tirelessly, solitary animals, stray birds, primitive exoduses and android sentries.
