Visual Arts - This is a Set Up

Today I did my set up for Visual Arts 3, lecture taught by Petteri Nisunen.
Thanks Matissek for helping me to hung it from the window, otherwise I couldn't have done it!

THE CONCEPT

The aim of the project is to use everyday materials and give them a different meaning while they work with the sun creating a new atmosphere.

The diminishing of daylight hours was taken as a reference to develop this new atmosphere, which will help the onlooker to enjoy the sun in a new way, evoking new feelings.

Conceptually, the project works contrasting concepts, so every observer will get its own critical.

THE PLACE

From the very beginning the idea was to do a set up in busy space, so people could interact with it, and even be able to modify it.

The architecture department was chosen because of its good location and the size and orientation of the windows. Anoter reason is that this department is a busy building, with wide corridors and big spaces. Students go by very often and they would to appreciate a new atmosphere located somewhere for a short period of time. Several sketches were needed to consider the size of the art work and the relation the walls have with the indoor spaces.

THE IDEA

At the beginning, the idea was to create some kind of tunnel or threshold in somewhere outside, where we could enjoy the contrast of concepts. As the weather is getting colder and the sun light more dificult to reach, I needed to go upper and closer to an indoor space, because people use the outdoor spaces just for going from one place to another and not for delighting.

The surface of the windows were the perfect place to develop a new surface which could inter-actuate with the sun and the atmosphere of the building.

Alvar Aalto - Iglesia de las Tres Cruces

Aprovechando la visita a Imatra , y puesto que éramos un grupo de estudiantes de arquitectura , el alcalde de la ciudad junto con los directivos de Fortum nos hicieron un tour en autobús por la ciudad con una simpática guía británica, y nos enseñaron, a parte de los 3 cascos urbanos que componen la ciudad, la Iglesia de las Tres Cruces de Alvar Aalto . Lo bueno de estar aquí es que hay cosas de Aalto por todos lados!!! Aprovecho esta entrada para contaros que la semana que viene empezaré a preparar mi ruta "Aalto in Finland" con las obras que visitaré y los días que iré, por si, quién sabe, algún lector se deja caer por aquí y se quiere apuntar a las excursiones.

Aalto Museum - Jyäskylä

From my point of view, the most amazing collection of Aalto philosophy of design is able to be found in the Aalto Museum of Jyväskylä . We went there couple of weekends ago, and it was, from the city, what I liked the most. It is located close to the University, it is sited on a slope leading down towards Lake Jyväsjärvi . Completed in 1973 , the building, together with the Museum of Central Finland (Alvar Aalto 1961) form a centre of culture in the vicinity of the University of Jyväskylä (Alvar Aalto 1951-1971). We had to pay a 2€ fee for the access, (with the student discount) and we were there for 2 hours (and another 45 minutes in the café), so trust me when I say that it is worth visiting.

One measuring tape designed by artek and a new moleskine, is there any better place to start a new moleskine than in Aalto Muse...

Visual Arts - Special Guest

En la clase del pasado Miércoles tuvimos el placer de recibir una clase de Visual Arts de mano de la actual artista Kaarina Kaikkonen . No podría dejar de transmitir lo que nos enseñó, aunque las palabras no sean la herramienta ideal para describirlo. Kaarina presentó los trabajos que lleva realizando desde 1987, pasaba las fotografías intercalando comentarios personales así como vivencias desde que fue pequeña. Nos contó cómo a los 10 años de edad, escondida bajo la mesa de la cocina, vio morir a su padre mientras le miraba a los ojos. Entonces él su portaba una gabardina marrón oscura, y ella, en su inocente intento de eludir la muerte de su padre, lo escondió bajo esta mesa. Este hecho, según ella misma nos contaba, quedó oculto en su mente olvidándolo por completo, por lo que tenemos que entender que en sus primeras obras ella no era consciente de la repercusión que tuvo sobre ella. Comprensiblemente, varios traumas se desencadenaron de este suceso, com...
