TOMOTO | COPOS 284 FARM | MADRID BARCELONA
MUSIC MIGUEL GUZMAN –
REM KOOLHAAS JUNKSPACE (15) THROUGH JUNKSPACE OLD AURA IS TRANFUSED WITH NEW LUSTER TO SPAWN SUDDEN COMMERCIAL VIABILITY: BARCELONA AMALGAMATED WITH THE OLYMPICS, BILBAO WITH GUGGENHEIM, 42ND WITH DISNEY. A SHORTAGE OF MASTERS HAS NOT STOPPED A PROLIFERATION OF MASTERPIECES. ‘MASTERPIECE’ HAS BECOME A DEFINITIVE SANCTION, A SEMANTIC SPACE THAT SAVES THE OBJECT FROM CRITICISM, LEAVES ITS QUALITIES UNPROVEN, ITS PERFORMANCE UNTESTED, ITS MOTIVES UNQUESTIONED… MASTERPIECE IS NO LONGER AN INEXPLICABLE FLUKE, A ROLL OF THE DICE, BUT A CONSISTENT TYPOLOGY: ITS MISSION PRECARIOUS, MOST OF ITS EXTERIOR SURFACES BENT, HUGE PERCENTAGES OF ITS SQUARE FOOTAGE DYSFUNCTIONAL, ITS CENTRIFUGAL COMPONENTS BARELY HELD TOGETHER BY THE PULL OF THE ATRIUM, DREADING THE IMMINENT ARRIVAL OF FORENSIC ACCOUNTING… THE MORE INDETERMINATE THE CITY, THE MORE SPECIFIC ITS JUNKSPACE; ALL JUNKSPACE’S PROTOTYPES ARE URBAN – THE ROMAN FORUM, THE METROPOLIS; IT IS ONLY THEIR REVERSE-SYNERGY THAT MAKES THEM SUBURBAN, SIMULTANEOUSLY SWOLLEN AND SHRUNK. JUNKSPACE REDUCES WHAT IS URBAN TO URBANITY…INSTEAD OF PUBLIC LIFE, PUBLIC SPACEÄ: WHAT REMAINS OF THE CITY ONCE THE UNPREDICTABLE HAS BEEN REMOVED… SPACE FOR ‘HONORING’, ‘SHARING’, ‘CARING’, ‘GRIEVING’ AND ‘HEALING’… CIVILITY INDICATED BY AN OVERDOSE OF SERIF.
