Serpentine Pavilion 2022 Black Chapel by Theaster Gates
“Designed by Chicago-based artist Theaster Gates, the Serpentine Pavilion 2022 Black Chapel draws inspiration from many of the architectural typologies that ground the artist’s practice.
The structure, realised with the support of Adjaye Associates, references the bottle kilns of Stoke-on-Trent, the beehive kilns of the Western United States, San Pietro and the Roman tempiettos, and traditional African structures, such as the Musgum mud huts of Cameroon, and the Kasubi Tombs of Kampala, Uganda. The Pavilion’s circularity and volume echo the sacred forms of Hungarian round churches and the ring shouts, voodoo circles and roda de capoeira witnessed in the sacred practices of the African diaspora.
Black Chapel is a site for contemplation and convening, set within the grounds of Serpentine in Kensington Gardens. The structure’s central oculus emanates a single source of light to create a sanctuary for reflection, refuge and conviviality. The project mirrors the artist’s ongoing engagement with ‘the vessel’ in his studio practice, and with space-making through his celebrated urban regeneration projects.
Drawn to the meditative environment of the Rothko Chapel – which holds fourteen paintings by American artist Mark Rothko in Houston, Texas – Gates has produced a series of new tar paintings titled Seven Songs for Black Chapel. Creating a space that reflects the artist’s hand and sensibilities, seven paintings hang from the interior. In these works, Gates honours his father’s craft as a roofer by using roofing strategies including torch down, a method which requires an open flame to heat material and affix it to a surface.
As part of Serpentine’s dynamic summer programme, the Pavilion becomes a platform for live performances and public convenings. An operating bronze bell – salvaged from St. Laurence, a landmark Catholic Church that once stood in Chicago’s South Side – is placed directly next to the entrance. Pointing to the erasure of spaces of convening and spiritual communion in urban communities, the historic bell will be used to call, signal and announce performances and activations at the Pavilion throughout the summer.
Gates’ Serpentine Pavilion 2022 Black Chapel is part of The Question of Clay, a multi-institution project which comprised of exhibitions at Whitechapel Gallery (September 2021 – January 2022), White Cube (September – October 2021) and a two-year long research project at the V&A. The project seeks to investigate the making, labour and production of clay, as well as its collecting history, through exhibitions, performance and live interventions, with the aim of generating new knowledge, meaning and connections about the material.”

J’aime beaucoup ce genre de photo qui déroute les sens. Une photo qui nous fait demander ; mais qu’est-ce donc au juste ? Début de réponse :
je suis à la hauteur de la verrière de la Plaza St-Hubert - donc, à l’étage. Déjà, c’est pas un angle qui nous est familier puisque généralement, nous marchons sous la verrière. La verrière est givrée. Et il fait soleil. L’ombre de l’arbre se découpe sur la surface glacée et givrée. Dans le bas de la photo, nous apercevons la rue St-Hubert (et une automobile). La structure de métal qui supporte la verrière est bien visible. Et ô surprise, il y a un sac de plastique accrochée à cette structure.

CAL FIRE/Placer County Fire Department assisted Placer Hills Fire Protection District with a structure fire on Ponderosa Lane Auburn February 2023.
The focus of this work is the investigation of an unique structure by the arrangement of several transparent, floating shapes.
Overplayed, reflective, transparent material is the basic aspect to blur the contour lines of the elements and turns the appearance of the form into a molten structure.
The idea was to work with the rules of overlaying, transparency,reflection and different modules, in order to get a more powerful crumpled glimmer structure.
The structure reminds on a candy wrapper on the floor.

This amazing glass couture piece Structures of Self was recently modeled by one of the collaborating artists during the new Beakerhead festival of science, art and engineering. The idea to collaborate on an a photoshoot that paired the alien/bug like garment with the 40 foot RayGun Gothic Rocketship during the setting sun, made for some pretty creative images

The Banca Celestial (Skyband bench) from the Structure 8N-66 Central is one of the most outstanding pieces of art at the Mayan city of Copán. Residence 8N-66C was constructed around 750 CE and is part of the residential group 8N-11 in the Las Sepulturas complex. The carved bench is exhibited at the on-site Museo de Escultura.
A series of symbols for the sun, moon, and planets, grouped together in a long frame, are referred to as skyband. Skybands have been found throughout Mesoamerica; they serve to establish a heavenly context. This beautifully carved bench is from interior room of the large central portion of Structure 8N-66. This is the only full-figure depiction of a skyband in the Maya area.
There are two mythical birds at either end. They carry the carved images of the celestial bodies. The figures are, from left to right, the graceful image of the moon deity, the sun both by day and by night, and the planet Venus. In between are repeating masks of the Milky Way. These figures parade across the heavenly frame and transform this bench into the seat of power.
Las Sepulturas was an upscale residential complex located about 1.5 km to the east of the Gran Plaza at Copán and connected with it by a sacbé (sac’be), that is a causeway or raised, paved road. The Las Sepulturas complex consists of 40 to 50 buildings arranged around 11 courtyards and a central lagoon. The elites of Copán appear to have lived here, particularly during the final decades before the collapse of the Mayan culture at Copán around 820 CE. A large number of residences contain grave sites, hence the name Las Sepulturas, literally the tombs.
Black & Veatch is extending its Breakthrough Overhead Line Design ® (BOLD) consultancy services to India, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. BOLD® structures and specifications have the potential to provide higher power delivery capacity, allowing more power to be transmitted and delivered while mitigating community impacts through lowered structure heights and reduced footprint over traditional approaches.
NORTHRIDGE - 40 firefighters found the garage (attached) of a single-family home fully involved and extinguished the fire in 13 minutes. Initial reports of a person trapped in the fire room proved to be false after a thorough search. The fire was stopped quickly before extending into the home. No reported injuries.

I love the shape, colour and structure of artichoke. Of course you can eat them, lovely, but these ones are allowed to grow and show their violet flowers inside. But we need patience.
The Central Shaheed Minar, an imposing structure in red bricks, rises seventy one feet high into the open sky from its base and is dedicated to the martyrs of the Language Movement. The three seventy-one feet columns, the fifty-two feet base and the eight steps leading up to the base are symbolic of our culture and events in our national life. The structure was completed in 2008, and its designer is Architect Rabiul Islam.
