Endless House Project: Ulchiro Endnote / Pink
Inspired by utopian architecture – in particular the “infinite” biomorphic structures of Frederick Kiesler (1890-1965) –, Ian Kiaer offers a reflection on the plurality of nuances that make up the real. He arranges a constellation of elements and fragmentary compo- sitions of varying scales ranging from miniature model to large pictorial and flat surfaces. Based on what already exists, these disparate elements gel to form a coherent narrative – notably in Endless House Project : Ulchiro Endnote/Pink in the metrics of Japanese manga. Here, Kiaer borrows a code specific to this graphic art form: according to tradition, a blotch of black ink on a pink ground signals the end of the narrative weave, and its completion in a controlled, abstract gesture.
