Mention in Journal of Architectural Education
July 10th, 2009 by Menachem Wecker
I just saw that I am mentioned in a footnote in Blaine Brownell’s (University of Minnesota) article “Assembling Light: PET Wall Installation” in the Journal of Architectural Education.
The note (#5) cites my article “Scavenger Par Excellence, Wandering Jewess” on Louise Nevelson at MyJewishLearning.com.
I’ve reached out to Brownell for more information and will certainly post it here if I hear back. The article is available here (but many of you might not be able to see it if you don’t have access to the journal).
Here’s the abstract:
While the trajectories of minimalist light art and assemblage art have been historically distinct, these movements seek to produce similarly charged atmospheres that transcend common material associations. A marriage of these traditions employing programmable light nets and reused beverage containers seeks to capitalize on this similarity, shifting deeply embedded cultural readings of a ubiquitous consumer product via integrated illumination that alters the material’s inherent banality.
