Lunch Association

Every Wednesday, whoever is in the office, we all sit down for lunch together. Often we chat about our projects but today we started with Brodsky & Utkin and the relationship between revolution and fantasy, then we jumped into Étienne-Louis Boullée, then the Kabakovs..... we thought it would make a nice little trail of breadcrumbs leading to nowhere in particular......

Brodsky & Utkin, The Complete Works

A Monument of the Year 2000, 1990

This is when Boullée popped up,  a welcome lunch companion.

Cenotaph for Newton, Night version 2, 1784

Cenotaph for Newton, view, 1784

Boullée, Deuxieme projet pour la Bibliothèque du Roi (1785)

And then, the Kabakovs appeared- they can fly around our office as much as they like.
