Matthew Ritchie and Aranda/Lasch’s The Morning Line – a striking 8-metre-high, 20-metre-long pavilion constructed from 17 tonnes of black-coated aluminium – explores the disciplinary interactions between art, architecture, music, mathematics, cosmology and science. As one of its core elements, the artist conceived the pavilion’s sonic identity in the tradition of Iannis Xenakis and Le Corbusier or Fritz Bornemann’s Expo ’70 pavilion, which is the subject of Hans Ulrich Obrist’s conversation with the commissioned sound artists. The fractal beauty of the structure is captured in Todd Eberle’s stunning photographs.
This book is published on the occasion of the presentation of The Morning Line in Vienna, from June 7 to November 20, 2011.
