Le Fresnoy
Le Fresnoy
The exhibition at the NAi shows Le Fresnoy as a step forward in the development which began with 'The Screenplay Series'. What Tschumi is trying to do here is to convert movement, the Event of a film clip, into spatial configurations. This makes it a direct translation of movement into its opposite and in this sense is just as static as classical architecture. In Le Fresnoy there is no longer any question of such a formal translation of movement. Tschumi found an informal way to leave room in the in-between space for unexpected movements and accidental happenings. This makes it the first built environment for Dérive and Détournement, the central themes of the International Situationists.

NOTE: From my vantage point, the approach to these images closely relates to the 2-space work of David Hockney. .H.
