Description
This
site-specific
installation
by
architect
Frederick
Fisher
is
organized
in
honor
of the
10th
anniversary
of his
building
: The
Bronya
and
Andy
Galef
Center
for
Fine
Arts
at
Otis
.
Notes
For this
installation
,
Fisher
has
physically
and
metaphorically
superimposed
a
142’
circle
(the
same
dimension
of
Rome’s
Pantheon
and the
Galef
building
square)
in the
form
of a
literal
and
metaphorical
“ruin”
of a
wall
into/onto
the
square
footprint
of the
Galef
building
and
grounds
. The
fragments
of
wall
are
wrapped
with
giant
reproductions
of
images
from
Fisher’s
sketchbooks
from his
time
studying
at the
American
Academy
in
Rome
in
2008
. This
frieze-like
appliqué
is
a
recollection
of the
narrative
murals
covering
the
interiors
of
buildings
, a
tradition
erased
by the
abstract
plastic
language
of
Modern
architecture
.
Fisher’s
primary
study
during
his
time
in
Rome
was
Italian
museum
renovations
of the
1950's
with
particular
focus
on the
work
of
Carlo
Scarpa
and
Franco
Albini
.
