Socrates Death



The Death of Socrates, by Jacques-Louis David (1787).








The trial and execution of Socrates are the climax of his career and the central event of the dialogs of Plato. According to Plato, however, both were unnecessary. Socrates admits in court that he could have avoided his trial in the first place by abandoning philosophy and going home to mind his own business. After his court conviction, he could have avoided the death penalty by agreeing to pay a small fine, and once in prison he could have escaped. Socrates participated in his famous martyrdom every step of the way, and his story supplies, one way or the other, the foundation for western philosophy.

Untitled # 104, 2004

Wood
Variable dimensions


One of two installations made for a solo exhibition at the Aomori Contemporary Art Centre, Japan. This work consisted of 3000 lengths of wood balanced in two layers. The work was poised ready to collapse at any moment. The destruction of the initial installation was triggered by gently touching one stick of wood, setting of a chain reaction which toppled the standing sticks.

La Ville de Demain [Morphosis]


Morphosis
Video sent by HeuresIndues
Architectures éclatées aux reliefs contradictoires, ses structures en ruban, ses porte-à-faux, volumes organiques, doubles peaux : autant de tissus connectifs, de machines vivantes écologiques impliquées dans le développement durable. La ville de demain vue par Morphosis, dans le cadre de l'exposition que lui consacre le Centre Pompidou jusqu'au 17 juillet 2006.
