Estudios visuales. KURT SCHWITTERS : MERZBAU Instalación viva. Merz era un término acuñado para describir sus propios proyectos, como una alternativa ’Dadá’.
Posteriormente, llamó a todos sus proyectos con variaciones del nombre, como el Merzbau. De todas las contribuciones artísticas de Schwitters realizados en el mundo, el Merzbau es, sin duda su mayor obra. A partir de 1923, Schwitters comenzó a convertir las habitaciones en su casa en Hannover, Alemania, en obras de arte arquitectónicas. A medida que el proyecto se amplió a las salas , comenzó a tomar influencia del cubismo. Duró toda la vida del artista y la mantuvo viva y en constante evolución hasta el 1936 en que tuvo que huir de Alemania. La Merzbau de Hannover, fue una obra inspirada en el movimiento Dadaista, entre la arquitectura , la escultura, la pintura y el collage que consistió en la total alteración, añadiendo volúmenes geométricos realizados con todo tipo de materiales y objetos de toda condición, del interior de la casa del artista a lo largo de su vida.

Www.idear.ro/newsite. Ana torfs - The Parrot & the Nightingale, a Phantasmagoria. The first thing that strikes you when reading Columbus’s journal is the constant repetition of phrases and words like ‘tree’, ‘cross’, ‘believe’, ‘nightingale’, ‘trade’, ‘parrot’, ‘danger’, ‘wonder’, ‘naked’ and ‘weapon’.

At sea, every piece of driftwood, bird or fish is a sign that land is near, and when they do eventually land in ‘India’, they see signs everywhere of the presence of gold and silver.

How can one render the invisible visible? This question stands out in this group exhibition that preserves the leftovers of show preparation. In it, a minor collection of unattributed works fills a small gallery set aside for the Bay Area Art Workers Alliance: a yellow-and-gray moving blanket hangs from a wall as a flimsy monochrome; a lensless projector fades in and out during a color test; drill holes from the previous month’s exhibition await drywall spackle. By emphasizing these elements of show preparation, the exhibition is suspended in a state of potentiality. . — Andrew Witt Anne Collier CCS BARD HESSEL MUSEUMBard College CampusJune 28–September 21 View of “Anne Collier,” 2014.
