MacRobertson Girls High School,
Kingsway,

When Norman H. Seabrook won the competition for MacRobertson Girls’ high School in 1934, his design heralded what Robyn Boyd was to term the ‘The 1934 Revolution (Victorian Modern, Melbourne, 1947). Seabrook’s design was the first example in Australia of a modern style of architecture characterised by the use of interlocking planes of various sizes, with a strong contrast between horizontal and vertical elements, and between solid and void. Plain surfaces in neutral tones were enlivened by the use of primary colours (red, yellow and blue) for details. In the world of art, de Stijl was related to the work of cubists, and to the paintings of Modrian. The School of Amsterdam, in contrast, employed the traditional brickwork of the Netherlands, developing it to its limits in terms of plasticity of form while emphasising its intrinsic character.
Dudok successfully combined these disparate elements to create his own distinctive style. In his capacity as official architect to the town of Hilversum, he erected a number of outstanding buildings in this manner, including several schools and the famous Hilversum Town Hall, built between c. 1927 and 1931. This was undoubtedly Dudok’s most influential building. Examples derived from it in Europe include the Cahcan-sur-Seine Town Hall, France (J.B. Mathon and J. Cholet, 1934) and the Hornsey Town Hall, U.K. (R.H. Uren, 1933-5) which won the RIBA Bronze Medal in 1935.
In Australia comparable examples include the Sanitarium Health Food Company Building, Warbuton (E.F. Billson, 1936-9) and the Heidelburg Town Hall (Peck and Kemter and A.C. Leith and associates, 1937). These two examples however, each of which is already classified, date from at least two years after Seabrook’s innovative design for the Girl’s High School.

Main exhibition hall - Orange and Green Curtains. Color Cascades; Monumentalism, Exaltation, Disco Modrian, Brothel Malevich etc. :)
I have really busy but pretty satisfying time right now. Here a bit of documentation from my exhibition Eco Fever. Museo Experimental El Eco was created by Mathias Goeritz in 1957 and reopened exactly 50 years later under the protection of UNAM. Main objective of El Eco was to create experimental art space based on the Goeritz concept of Emotive Architecture.
As for highlights of my approach to the exhibition I can mention quickly:
1. Color Clasism - ("noble" and "vulgar" colors)
2. Transgression between high and pop culture (night club - museum)
3. Softening the severity of Goeritz (and Barragan) approach to minimalism / mysticism
4. Sacrilege - as much cultural/aesthetical as "religious" - in this case monolith becoming soft, pink - the divine in its erotic, sissy aspect)
5. Efficiency / Potential Test (related to my previous The Best of The Rest project)
Those interested in more detailed commentary can read my statement and short questionnaire I am providing at The Set Page. (At the moment unfortunately in Spanish only)

Seabrook’s design was the first example in Australia of a modern style of architecture characterised by the use of interlocking planes of various sizes, with a strong contrast between horizontal and vertical elements, and between solid and void. Plain surfaces in neutral tones were enlivened by the use of primary colours (red, yellow and blue) for details. In the world of art, de Stijl was related to the work of cubists, and to the paintings of Modrian. The School of Amsterdam, in contrast, employed the traditional brickwork of the Netherlands, developing it to its limits in terms of plasticity of form while emphasising its intrinsic character.
Dudok successfully combined these disparate elements to create his own distinctive style. In his capacity as official architect to the town of Hilversum, he erected a number of outstanding buildings in this manner, including several schools and the famous Hilversum Town Hall, built between c. 1927 and 1931. This was undoubtedly Dudok’s most influential building. Examples derived from it in Europe include the Cahcan-sur-Seine Town Hall, France (J.B. Mathon and J. Cholet, 1934) and the Hornsey Town Hall, U.K. (R.H. Uren, 1933-5) which won the RIBA Bronze Medal in 1935.
In Australia comparable examples include the Sanitarium Health Food Company Building, Warbuton (E.F. Billson, 1936-9) and the Heidelburg Town Hall (Peck and Kemter and A.C. Leith and associates, 1937). These two examples however, each of which is already classified, date from at least two years after Seabrook’s innovative design for the Girl’s High School.

Main exhibition hall (ceiling view) - Orange and Green Curtains. Color Cascades; Monumentalism, Exaltation, Disco Modrian, Brothel Malevich etc. :)
I have really busy but pretty satisfying time right now. Here a bit of documentation from my exhibition Eco Fever. Museo Experimental El Eco was created by Mathias Goeritz in 1957 and reopened exactly 50 years later under the protection of UNAM. Main objective of El Eco was to create experimental art space based on the Goeritz concept of Emotive Architecture.
As for highlights of my approach to the exhibition I can mention quickly:
1. Color Clasism - ("noble" and "vulgar" colors)
2. Transgression between high and pop culture (night club - museum)
3. Softening the severity of Goeritz (and Barragan) approach to minimalism / mysticism
4. Sacrilege - as much cultural/aesthetical as "religious" - in this case monolith becoming soft, pink - the divine in its erotic, sissy aspect)
5. Efficiency / Potential Test (related to my previous The Best of The Rest project)
Those interested in more detailed commentary can read my statement and short questionnaire I am providing at The Set Page. (At the moment unfortunately in Spanish only)

Week 14, Assignment 1 for Take A Class With Dave & Dave.
Abstract. From wikipedia: Abstract art is now generally understood to mean art that does not depict objects in the natural world, but instead uses color and form in a non-representational way. You are free to create your abstraction entirely in-camera, in post-processing, or as a combination of the two.
I really stressed over this assignment. Abstract covers such a wide range of possibilities. I looked up several different definitions of just what abstract art is as well as many of the abstract artists. This image is a bit of Modrian and a bit of Frank Stella (at least that was my intention to a point).
Its a bit like the later Modrian "boogie woogie" pictures that Jean and I saw at the New York Museum of Modern Art.
Or, come to think of it, like the glorious fake "computer" in the control room of the "Seaview" submarine in "Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea" in the 1960s. I loved that computer. It was fake-and-a-half, but it flickered purposefully and sparks shot out of it when thing were bad... one could do worse! Later I saw real minicomputers with neon lamps displaying processor registers, program and stack counter, etc. That's what they were trying to suggest.
Far echo of constructivism here: another see trough wall on the entrance to the public school. From one hand very poor case of modernistic thinking, even esthetical brutality; from the other - come on: fantasy, future, Malevich, Modrian – all is here. It’s up to you to see it :)
Zoliborz, Warsaw, early 70's I guess.
Picture from my just published album about Warsaw “W-wa” the book explores lyrical - symbolical aspects of the urban reality. There is a lot of geometry, minimalism, and totemic cases in it. Limited edition: 500 copies. Pictures taken mostly between 2000 - 2005.
You can get the book straight from the Publisher: Fundacja Bec Zmiana or in other main art libraries in Warsaw (Zacheta, CCA)

A maquette of the interior of Mondriaan's studio of 1944 at 15 East 59th St, New York on display in the Mondriaan House museum in Amersfoort.
On the wall can be seen his final, uncompleted, painting of 1944 "Victory Boogie Woogie".
In addition to designing the Rimini Blu line for Bitossi Raymor, Londi is also credited with discovering Ettore Sottsass--who joined Ceramiche Bitossi in the early '50's--and enlisting the Memphis talents of Marco Zanini and Nathalie Du Pasquier in the 1980's.
Korea
Joseon dynasty (1392-1910)
Ramie with patchwork design
Gift of Mrs. Georgia Sales
"Wrapping clothes (bojagi) were an integral part of daily life of women in Korea during the Joseon dynasty (139201910). They were used to cover serving tables and trays, to wrap precious objects and to carry small and large objects. The large size of this wrapping cloth and the sashes at the four corners suggest that it was made to enclose bed covers made of thin ramie and fine hemp for summer use. A central square, composed of four triangles, acts as the focal point for the patchwork design.
The varying density of their weaves of the remnants used here indicate that they would have come from several sources, as with all patchwork wrapping cloths. The use of ramie rather than silk is, however, less common. The irregular sizes of the rectangular patches and their uneven tones of dark blue are also unusual. Korean women's experiments with such geometric shapes and colors in wrapping cloth designs may call to mind works of twentieth-century abstract painters such as Piet Modrian (1872-1944) - though these works would not have been known by the makers of the cloths."

I saw this old victorian home in Old Town San Diego. The front porch lattice work was very intrigate. I positioned myself to line the porch lattice up with the differing colors on th house to see what I could get.
The teachers showed the children some examples of Mondrian paintings. The children first applied colored tape to their paper and then painted with various colors. Of course, Mondrian used primary colors and the children chose whatever colors they wanted! Here is a link to a Flickr member's photo of a Mondrian.

The Piet Modrian colorway is inspired by the style of the Dutch Painter, hence the name of this quite attractive model. The multicolored color-way is inspired by the artist Piet Mondrian’s 1921 piece “Composition with Red, Yellow and Blue” which includes thick black lines to separate the color forms in composition. Piet Monday was an important contributor to the De Stijl art movement and group, which was founded by Theo van Doesburg. A non-representational form he evolved was called Neo-Plasticism. Combination of three primary colours and grid of vertical and horizontal lines were main elements of the style.
