Does
architecture create solid structures, or are they constantly being
changed, scratched, remodelled and rebuilt? Are cities and buildings
judgments in stone - or more like an organic shell made by society?
"Flying Buildings" look at the world as a constant work
in progress - and whoever wants to is invited to participate.
By mail, a building kit goes from hand to hand. The parts measure
between 2,5 X 1,2 m and 2 x 3 m - and they consist exclusively of
nets, made from string. At every stop, starting at Budapest University,
the parcel is unwrapped, the nets taken out, and knotted into a building.
"Building" here has a wide meaning; it is enough if there
are an inside and an outside. The recipients decide, where and in
which shape the building comes into being. Of course found object
and eveything else of interest can be included. This can happen in
the course of a picknick, a seminary, in a private home or in an artspace.
Part of the kit is a Logbook, in which everyone can write, draw or
paste their commentaries, proposals, or critique.
At the end, the structure is unpicked and sent on, to the next stop
: A building mutating its way around the world. |
