Tomás Saraceno

How do we avoid the pitfalls of a globalization that has no real globe in which to place everything? In a work presented at the Venice Biennale in 2009, Tomás Saraceno provided a great, and no doubt unintended, metaphor for social theory. In an entire room inside the Biennale's main pavilion, Galaxies Forming along Filaments, Like Droplets along the Strands of a Spider's Web (2008) consisted of carefully mounted elastic connectors that produced the shape of networks and spheres. If you were to avoid the guards' attentive gaze and slightly shake the elastic connectors—strictly forbidden—your action would reverberate quickly through the links and points of the network paths, but much more slowly through the spheres.

Beauty and the Book:...

Clockwise from top left: "The Book of the Lost"(2011) by Su Blackwell; "Grolier" (2005) by Brian Dettmer; "Little Red Riding Hood" (detail) (2010) by Su Blackwell; "Paper Manipulation 1" (2002) and "Butterflies" (2012) both by Louisa Boyd.
