Angles

i almost forgot that i looked at this in a gallery whist in paris. how could i possibly forget it, it was truly amazing. in the paris museum of modern art which was a truly amazing building i came across this piece designed by 'Agam' presumably a design company of sorts, this piece was a commission for the frech president Georges Pompidou as a homage in the memory.

Agam's kinetic interior for the design of the elsee palce was commissioned by the president in 1971 and was to be designed as a pictoral space on which the scale of a room, exploiting walls, ceiling, floors and doors and folows the design principles of the artists ideas of polymorphic painting in its use of coloured prism shapes to create abstract compstitions that change with the point of view, installed between 1972 and 1974 inder the guidance of the Mobilier Nationale ( the state collection of furniture and tapesries). it was finally disassembled in 2000 and presented to the centre Pompidou. it draws on a very precise set of colours and materials, which offer a vision of dynamic, geometic space , suggesting a permenant metamorphosis of the visual world.

this piece was really amazing to view and from different angles i could clearly see line being composed in different angle and points. the colour of this piece was also quite amazing how it changed throught the different colours of glass and highlighting different areas of interest within the drawing of the lines. i really like the idea of perspective and it would have been better if i was able to walk around the room and properly view the piece up close and personal and interact with it. The mirror in the middle of the room was also quite amazing as the chrome reflected the lines of colour even further creating a distortion in the middle of the room. this provided me with something to think about on the subject of line by looking at an investigation into the idea of lines not on a canvas but virtual and subjective manner.
