Installation - Richard Serra: Sequence

Quotes by people experiencing the piece and by
Richars Serra; and sectional diagram:



I did the Richard Serra piece "Sequence" which is at the Moma right now. I was interested in the disorienting effects it has on you when you walk through and experience the piece. The two towering walls of steel curve around and create a narrow corridor that constantly changes width and angle. You almost feel as if these walls are swallowing you, towering over you, and you dont know where they are taking you or when it will end. You have a choice when entering wheather to go into the large circular open space or into the winding cooridor. I found it interesting to watch and listen to the glimpses of other people experiencing the piece as well.

My movie is Rear Window

I looked at Alice Aycock's the Beginnings of a Complex... and the moving I'm doing is the Shining. This piece was all about how you looked at it, Aycock thought that the piece would be scary and people wouldn't want to climb it and would be forced to look at it from a far. The viewers actually felt intrigued to climb on it, despite the risks of falling. The installation made me think of a maze, since its full of dead ends either where you physically couldnt continue or the viewer would think the risk was too great.

Recomend Posted Video "Good Lecture"

I want to make a recommendation to watch the video "Good Lecture" posted by Mike if i am correct. I have caught up with the readings and though a little dense this video makes a couple of interested points that may be of some help when trying to assimilate our readings. I posted a comment on the video about my concerns with the issues of the readings, it is not an attack on our process just a simple criticism about my concerns on how we will form some dialectics between our research and ultimately a thesis of architecture. Let me know what some people think, am i raging for nothing or should we be critical on how we move forward in the studio...

Instillation & Movie Choice (Dionysios)

I am also watching Tarkovsky's Nostalghia, and have managed (or so I think) to purchase a dvd in the "original italian" and a vhs copy through amazon. I will be expecting them this week so Mike and others watching this film if we could confirm they are the same version we can proceed to have these copies circulate our class. I have gone ahead and chose Lebbeus Woods' The Storm and The Fall installations. This summer i went ahead and collected a couple of Wood's publications, one a collection of drawings, images and written texts, specifically on The Storm and The Fall installations. If anyone may be interested in Lebbeus Woods let me know, i will put another post up giving some incite into his spectrum of work.

Nostalghia...found a copy.

To those who have chosen tarkovsky's Nostalghia: It is very hard to find, I was told at Kim's that it is out of print...very out of print. After much searching, I found a video store in Williamsburg that has it to rent on VHS, and have it reserved there. I'm going to get it this evening, so let me know when you want to watch it. The only other copy that seems to exist in the city is at the ny public library branch in Lincoln Center, so I suggest that you contact me soon: I'm sure I will only be able to rent it for a day or two...also, found a copy on ebay that has to be shipped from korea, only 10 bucks, though. I'll probably send out for it.

I didn't get a packet!

Somehow, although it looked like there were 15 movie packets on the table, I did not get one...I don't know what happened, maybe someone took two packets, or maybe there are now 16 students, but in any event I need to know ASAP what happened so I can get started. Thanks.
