BERNARD HOESLI: COLLAGES
An exhibition of collages by architect and educator Bernhard Hoesli
|
Opening Reception
Mar 25, 6-8PM
Arthur A. Houghton Jr. Gallery, 2nd Fl
|
An exhibition containing a collection of fifty-four collages by architect and educator Bernhard Hoesli, completed between 1963 and 1984. Very intimate in scale, these works demonstrate a process of making and experimentation, of layering and three dimensionalization, wherein Hoesli revisited and reworked many of the pieces numerous times, some over a period of several years.
As Hoesli once stated, "First of all we must be clear that by collage one understands, of course, a picture, a type of painting, an object. However, one can also say that this object is the result of a process, a particular kind of approach to shapes, colors and, typically, for collage, scrap paper. So a collage is not only meant as an object, something made, a result, but what is perhaps far more interesting: a process. Moreover, that behind this way of doing something which as a result then leads to a collage, the collage could be meant as an attitude of mind."
Although the collages can be read primarily through the aesthetics of design, these works clearly illustrate an ongoing exploration of the relationship between painting, architecture, and form, paralleling Hoesli's development of the architectural curriculum at the ETH in Zurich, part of his greater forty-year involvement in architecture.

Do you want to be an Architect?
You need to be an Intern first.
Everything you need to know about the Intern Development Program (IDP)
The Intern Development Program (IDP) is an essential step in the path to become an architect. Your journey typically begins in a school of architecture; however, it does not end there. Ultimately, through the IDP you will learn about the daily realities of architectural practice, acquire comprehensive experience in basic practice areas, explore specialized areas of practice, develop professional judgment, and refine your career goals. IDP is designed to help you realize those goals.
Professor Michael Samuelian will discuss IDP requirements, and explain the steps to establish your IDP record, identify your IDP supervisor, identify your mentor, document your experience, etc.
Lunch will be served

School of Architecture Archive historical background: In 1970 John Hejduk and Roger Canon, AR'70, established a methodology to document student work for the publication Education of An Architect: A Point of View, which coincided with an exhibition of the same name held at the Museum of Modern Art in 1971. Supported by a recommendation of the 1980 National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) Visiting Team, the Archive was established in 1983, and officially became a department of the School of Architecture in 1991.
