Intricacy
Catalogue of the exhibition guest curated by the architect and theorist Greg Lynn, featuring works by artists, designers, and architects that reflect an emerging sensibility Lynn has labeled "Intricacy". This notion refers, in the abstract, to a new visual and spatial language of folding, interweaving, and layering -- parts relating to wholes -- that has been heralded by the digital and genetic engineering revolutions.
Intricacy announces a gestalt of production: not just CAD-CAM drawings for architects or digital video for artists, but a new way of thinking about the inter-relation of concepts and techniques on an abstract, holistic scale.
