Ivan Ballesteros [ANTIFABRIC]
»Researches in Progress«
The exhibition »Researches in Progress« by the Spanish architect Ivan Ballesteros introduces two projects Ballesteros is working on during his stay at Solitude. »Smart Linear Component System« is an aggregative structural system based on the logic of fibres. The compponents can be connected by pressure in a fast way or they can be slid into each other generating an intricate bundle. The physical capabilities of the fibres provide the system with an enormous range of ppossible outcomes, still to be fully explored and tested. »Non-Deterministic Design and Architecture« shows different research processes, which are based on ideas from Rosalind Krauss’s »Formless«, Robert Morris’s »Anti-Form« and some texts by Gilles Deleuze. Ballesteros connects this background to our high-tech present and explores the possibilities of the computer to deal with randomness and unexpected formations.

»20.000 IMAGES«
6 days, 12 hours per day, 5 images per minute, 10 x 14 cm snapshots, 2 half hour breaks.
An »open studio« on an exaggerated scale, »20.000 images« will now make public five years worth of investigatory snapshots intrinsic to the conception and development of Matthias Megyeri‘s artistic practice. 20.000 research photographs on 250 square meters of wall open up a retrospective insight into the origins of his work, not only for the viewer but also for the artist himself.
