  • Promenade Among Words and Things: the Gallery As Catalogue, the Catalogue As Gallery
    $UFKLWHFWXUDO Lending, M 2015 Promenade Among Words and Things: The Gallery as Catalogue, the Catalogue as Gallery. Architectural Histories, 3(1): 20, +LVWRULHV pp. 1–22, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5334/ah.da RESEARCH ARTICLE Promenade Among Words and Things: The Gallery as Catalogue, the Catalogue as Gallery Mari Lending* In the mid-19th century new casting techniques allowed for the production of huge building fragments. Well-selected cast collections would ideally display perfect series in galleries in which the visitor could wander among monuments and experience the history of architecture on a full scale and in three dimen- sions. The disembodied material of plaster proved capable of embodying a number of modern historical taxonomies and aesthetical programs, most importantly chronology, comparison, style, and evolution. Veritable showcases of historicism, the casts could illustrate in spatial arrangements new conceptions on the history, contemporaneity and future of architecture. The plaster cast became a main medium in which to publish antiquities as novelties for grand audiences, taking the printed and the published beyond the two-dimensional space of words and images. However, due to the increasing market of casts and their sheer size and weight, the reproductions as mounted in the galleries often behaved as disorderly as architecture does outside curatorial control. In the end only the catalogues, the paper versions of these imaginary museums, could create the order their plaster referents constantly aspired to destroy. An important chapter in the history of the architecture museum, these plaster monuments belong to a part of architectural print culture in which catalogues were curated and galleries edited.

We would like to wish you a wonderful trip through Europe and a safe return home. Best wishes and Merry Christmas from the Albatross Team German White Christmas Please see below a light overview of some of the regions and towns you will be visiting. Munich Within sight of the Alps, the glamorous capital of Bavaria, Munich (München) has much to offer: an extensive and well-restored old town, world-class museums and galleries, fine civic buildings such as the neo-Gothic town hall, and the wonderful church known as the Frauenkirche, whose twin onion-topped towers are the symbol of the city. This cosmopolitan city is enlivened by its strong identification with Bavarian traditions as well as by the presence of vast numbers of students, who have made the suburb of Schwabing their own. In addition, the city boasts magnificent green spaces, ranging from raucous beer gardens to the vast English-style park known as the Englischer Garten and the Olympiapark.
