Vernissages | The Making of Parametricism: Santiago Calatrava at Marlborough Gallery

An exhibition of Santiago Calatrava sculptures (and drawings) opened yesterday at the Marlborough Gallery.

    As a scholar and maker of geometry I was intrigued in understanding the process behind the making of fairly similar sculptures. The recurrent helicoidal shapes seem to be generated by repetition and scaling of an initial module/parameter; several cycles and types of metals also created diversity in the sculptural artwork.

The exhibition also included drawings by Calatrava

practice | dual body patterns in the 'ico-fit'

On March 15 the 'ico-fit', formerly known as 'movement infrastructure' has been used as framework for a practice performed by two movers. Two movement sequences were performed. One practice was based on 'Finding the Axis Mundi', a flow of movement based on a vocabulary of yoga asanas.

The other movement practice was inspired by the geometry of the structure, in the sequence Octahedron in the Icosahedron. Each mover performed movement in rotational symmetry connecting arms and legs to the midpoints of the edges.
