3. Concrete Forms

Quadro (2002)
August 25, 2012 - 7:30 pm

Though the title doesn’t mention architecture explicitly, this discipline is omnipresent in all its diversity in both the objectification of structures and descriptions of space. From the Adriatic coast to California, utopian concrete masses take on a form of their own, or even as humorous vehicles to sell shoes. Sound-driven works, from a younger generation of collaborative audiovisual artists in particular, accompany abstract and animated forms with vigor and intelligence.

Total running time: 90 min.
