Marcelyn Gow: Tropes (March 25, 2015)



Marcelyn Gow, after clarifying that her practice, Servo, has an office in Stockholm, consisting of Ulrika Karlsson, and another in Los Angeles, which she runs with William Mohline, discusses “precise inexactitude” and geometry versus the formless in her work. She proposes to review some projects in terms of six tropes:

Abjection overruled
Abjection sustained
White paper
Blackening
Rustication
Graining

The projects range from installations (Lattice Archipelogics, Sporg, Aqueotrope), green roofs (for a science center outside Stockholm), exhibition designs (at the Bonniers Konsthall), lecture halls (at the Royal Institute of Technology/KTH), and mixed-used facilities (the Blockterräng).
