Anonymous asked:
Are you an architect
whorological answered:
Respectfully, what
(Was my first answer, then I recalled)
No—dead truthfully—(certain styles are amongst my pet interests)—but Ice Cube was. Check him out surveying the mashup that is LA’s landscape, what’s that Pynchon quote on freeways?, quick cuts to Googie architecture & Watts Towers before he surveys Case Study House #8. In case someone feels like being snippy or weird, this is not a joke: Ice Cube studied architecture, dude, & he has insights.
well: thanks for my last non-lurid ask in ages!
It gets better—I knew there was some kerfuffle about finding a precise model of Eames chair for the official poster (on Ice Cube’s insistence) but... ‘Before Ice Cube did rap music, he studied architectural drafting. In honor of the Pacific Standard Time celebration, he wanted to recreate this famous photograph by Charles Eames. The chair in the image is a rare 1953 Eames DAT-1, which was only produced in that configuration for a brief period of time. To assist the Getty in their efforts to recreate the poster, the Eames Office contacted JF Chen, a Los Angeles-based collector, to see if it would be possible to borrow this rare design from their vast and impressive collection of authentic Eames chairs.{...} JF Chen graciously agreed to loan their DAT-1 for the Getty’s photography and video shoot. Along with the DAT-1, the Eames Office was also able to source an authentic example of the table featured in the poster from its own collection. With the two designs in their hands, the Getty was then able to create this beloved poster featuring Ice Cube.’ (Source: eamesoffice.com)
The recreation vs the original
(To quote Ice Cube: ‘It’s not about the pieces, it’s about how the pieces work together’. I’ve been thinking about this for days: a necessary property of groundbreaking pastiche in art, music, architecture, literature, media, etc)(also, that is a damn good table)
