Gruppo T exhibition at Galleria Pater with Lucio Fontana
Alfio Di Bella
Milan, 1960
“…the Group T (so called referring to the concept of time, as a new variable of becoming in a space-time dimension that fully involves the user), while relying on a collectivist idea of the artistic work that led to the proposition of works with the signature "Gruppo T", never completely dissociated production from individual personalities as it did elsewhere for other groups who chose to sign their works only and exclusively behind a sign. For more than a decade the works and actions of Group T have raised the problem of the habitability of the work (environment-work) and its interaction with the spectator, becoming the pioneers of operating modes then gained in the next decade.”

Jørn Utzon
Espansiva
Hellebæk, Denmark
1969
“The Espansiva system was designed to offer the user complete freedom of choice for planning their building as well as for extending and altering it at any time. […]
Each type of module configuration has different circulation within its larger composition. This allows the compositions to both inform and be informed by the configurations intended use. This flexibility of purpose was Utzon’s main concept while designing Espansiva.”

hold on to the
subject.
The mind
quite easily
wishes to
switch to the next
tangentially connected
thought or story.
*
Then,
before you know it
you are lost. Or
perhaps what you
want is
to be lost? We
don't know what we're
doing and
we're doing it.
*
We don't know
what we are
doing and
we are
doing it,
and everything is stolen
anyway.
From 'Cheap Lecture' by Jonathan Burrows and Matteo Fargion, commissioned by Cultureel Centrum Maasmechelen and Dans in Limburg, 2009.
'Cheap Lecture' is a rhythmic spoken performance with music, which borrows its structure from John Cage's 'Lecture On Nothing'. The shape of the text above is a visual image of the rhythm of the words when spoken, and each line represents a beat. The gaps between printed words suggest the flow or hesitation in our speaking, and an asterisk is a counted pause.
