[New-Poetry] Moveable Type

[Anny Ballardini]

The idea is quite interesting, even if not original. The work is anyhow majestic. Renzo Piano has been a name all around for a long time, if I remember right, he said that our eyes - in an architectural context, see what we want. Experiment it at home, and you'll see there is something to it.
As innovative is his statement quoted by Finnegan. The offering of deteriorating waste in the arts after Andy Warhol's idea of pop culture is literally invading every single corner, as much as cheap fantasy meant to sell quickly and all the petty rest.

  Yesterday on NPR I heard a piece on "spaces" and they featured an installation by Rubin & Hansen at the new New York Times building. The architect Renzo Piano said to them before they started, I want something that will last 200 years. (A good charge for any artist, I'd say.)  

  Video of their installation on this page...
