Zaha Hadid Architects-Lois Richard Rosenthal Centerfor Contemporary Art

28. May, 2011 • Categories: Urban Contemporary • by aleloop

PROGRAM: Temporary exhibition space, performance space, educational facility, offices, art preparation areas, and museum store CLIENT: The Contemporary Arts Center Ohio, USA SIZE: 8500 m² CONCEPT: The first free-standing building for The Contemporary Arts Center, founded in Cincinnati in 1939 as one of the first institutions in the United States dedicated to the contemporary visual arts. The new CAC building will provide spaces for temporary exhibitions, site-specific installations, and performances, but not for a permanent collection. Other program elements include an education facility, offices, art preparation areas, a museum store, a cafe and public areas. To draw in pedestrian movement from the surrounding areas and create a sense of dynamic public space, the entrance, lobby and lead-in to the circulation system are organized as an ‘Urban Carpet’. Starting at the corner of Sixth and Walnut, the ground curves slowly upward as it enters the building, rising to become the back wall. As it rises and turns, this Urban Carpet leads visitors up a suspended mezzanine ramp through the full length of the lobby, which during the day functions as an open, day-lit, ‘landscaped’ expanse that reads as an artificial park. The mezzanine ramp continues to rise until it penetrates the back wall, on the other side of which it becomes a landing at the entrance to the galleries.

“With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility” New Works By Urban Contemporary Artist C.Kirk

01. Nov, 2010 • Categories: Urban Contemporary • by aleloop

In my latest series of paintings With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility, my art has become much more introspective where as in the past, social relevance was a key theme. Popular imagery still has a place in the composition, but the new paintings focus more on my all-too-human defects of character, faulty perception, and skewed sense of humor. The primary focus in this new series is my comic-style characters. Hand drawn and painted on paper, they are later cut out and collaged onto canvas, with hand painted magazine style text, additional collage, and stenciled background imagery. Despite their costumes and good intentions, my characters are overcome by the desires that exist in us all to some extent. Their instincts Led astray and hit rock bottom themes make these Heroes grand examples of self will run riot.
