Non-Construction

An Architectural Gesture in Artistic Research

Beschreibung

By defining a concept of architecture based on the tactile experience and not on construction, this book allows us to explore both discursive practice as the study of architectural art and the integration of architectural art as a discourse of spatial practice. In order to take on this new lens, Non-Construction utilizes a cinematographic documentary image strategy that engages with a critical spatial exploration of current entanglements of art and research at the crossroads of art, theory, and architecture. A challenge to visual conventions, this book offers conceptual and aesthetic insights into spiraling and voiding sensual experiences, with implications for the decolonization of the documentary and cinematographic reaching far beyond architecture.

With contributions by Philip Ursprung, Julie Harboe, Stewart Martin, Joshua Simon, and Sharon Kivland.

Rezensionen

The book presents and discusses a substantial body of work arising from the author's own "architectural art practice", defined as "a mode of having knowledge through the figure of non-construction". Eclectic in its sources of inspiration, the research draws on a wide range of art, theatrical, cinematographic, documentation and curatorial practices, as well as theory, most prominently that of Georges Bataille and Walter Benjamin. The shift from studying one's own practice to the practice of studying as one's own practice is a deft move and is explored successfully through some of the filmed investigations of the habitus - architecture, furniture and choreography - of studying per se.
