In 1993, a metro entrance was built on the Greek island of Syros, followed by two more: one in 1995 in Dawson City in Canada and the other in 1997 on the new Leipzig exhibition grounds. This created a means of travelling in the boundless space of the imagination.

With local authorities and prison management in Veenhuizen, they drew up an ambitious ‘Design Deal’. Together they examined the challenges of local development in a long-term process that explored the many perspectives on the past and present. Their efforts helped to define a revised vision for Veenhuizen, one that is local and social, that can be experienced, that is shaped in conjunction with stakeholders, and that has an impact on visibility and policy, with energy flowing in many directions. The work resulted in proposals aimed at boosting commercial opportunities and enhancing the sense of community, while also promoting sustainable heritage management and a dynamic awareness of history.

We might be tempted to look at the work as an alphabet of mere things, think of the pieces 'objectively'.

Languages have always been born from clay (one thinks of cuneiform seals); it’s easy to believe that Bouroullec is developing his own. At the very least, these pieces – somewhere at the intersection between painting, sculpture, and design – demand new verbs, words like 'bevel' and 'disintegrate'. (And it’s possible, the works say, that there is nothing so lovely as a beveled edge: the way they taper is like a caress. The way they dissolve onto a background feels digital and also deeply analogue.

Like other languages, Bouroullec’s seems to have a grammar. Forms repeat and the palette is consistent, like a dialect. Where there are slight variations, the works prove the rule. Some compositions get repeated and flipped upside down. Bouroullec’s process is also inherently syntactical: while the finished works have the appearance of precise composition, they’re arranged ex post facto from separately formed elements. Bouroullec assembles the reliefs only after the individual elements are fired; some inevitably break in the kiln. Like sentences, Bouroullec’s compositions are sequences of fixed parts.

Gowing says, 'We were aiming to salvage moments of missed intimacy through the detail of bodies in close proximity—a hand on a shoulder, a leg brushing a leg.

While the 1968 exhibition historicized the reception of the Bauhaus, reducing it to West Germany and the US, the publication 50 Years After 50 Years of the Bauhaus reflects on the famous school in the context of artistic movements like the International Movement for an Imaginist Bauhaus and the Situationist International.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHans D.
