The surreal chaos depicted in his work is something that many will have experienced or felt when in a big city.

Visual elements like straight lines, geometric shapes, modern cities, and extreme contrasts used by Cando in his works artist people— are reminiscent of Russian Constructivists or Bauhaus and art artists. Indeed, these are the ideas that formed the 1 basis of today’s urban architectural landscapes. His works, though, do not merely recreate these scenes, but push boundaries to explore the relationship between contemporary people and the city. According to his ideas, space has a significant impact on human understanding of time. “The life of architecture is vastly longer than our estimated 100 years of life. Architectural structures convey times we have not seen, and evolve alongside humans.” As a graffiti artist in the 1990s, Canto explored every unknown corner of cities. These spaces at the time were largely filled with abandoned facilities and old factories. From these spaces that lost their purpose, Canto began to think that architecture transcends human concepts of time. Thanks to his experience in Paris, New York, Dubai, Hong Kong, and in large cities in Nigeria and Cameroon, he was able to consider universal characteristics of global cities that were not limited to specific regions. “I thought of the city as a collective where a number of realities coexisted. Inextricably intertwined with people, cities are independent entities where constant change is taking place.”

infinitely proliferating Thomas chaos Canto 52 53 In terms of artistic expression, Thomas Canto does not limit layers of reality himself to certain materials, techniques, or media. For the past few years, he has been particularly involved with creating optical illusion pieces. In particular, his two-dimensional and three-dimensional mixed works scatter the sense of space between viewers—a concept influenced by op artists of the 1960s, namely Carlos Cruz-Diez. In these works, randomly repeated geometric shapes are arranged over two or three dimensions. The crossing of these complex images makes it difficult to decipher what is real and what is not. What is he trying to express by mixing reality with non-reality? “ When we are in a building, we can only observe a fraction of the whole structure. But these other spaces aren’t non-existent just because we cannot see them. And sometimes there are places where I think there will be more spaces, but there aren’t. This is to say that there are always various realities that we can’t perceive and I wanted to express that together in these In a solo exhibition in 2015 at the Wunderkammern Gallery transcendental works. Cities are like this, too.” Canto added that the materials in Rome, Thomas Canto explored new artistic ideas. landscapes and expressions in his work all represent different levels of Using video mapping, these works displayed light and images reality. The images created are layered to create a collection of onto the surface of installation with paintings and sculpture. a number of realities.

Of these, he says there is an installation of different sized mirrors and two-dimensional fixtures that will combine light, shadows, reflections, and colors in a complex structure.

Canto’s upcoming works of futuristic landscapes are not to be missed.

But, these curious creations are not made with actual light, but with ultra fine threads. The artist connects one end of the space to the other using thousands of colorful threads to mimic magical moments of nature. Individual threads are nearly invisible to the naked eye and appear significant only as a collective whole. In essence, these spectra of light are deliberately created through a painstakingly delicate assembly of threads.

From the ceiling to the floor, these works can evoke artist a shelter for the a variety of experiences depending on the point of soul view. The colors appear to be as light as the air itself 2 from a distance, and reveal themselves as lines only upon closer examination. When viewed from a slightly different angle, these overlapping lines make patterns in the air. The mysterious harmony between such fluid shapes and colors feels like a dream somewhere between fantasy and reality that should not be disturbed. The series title Plexus refers to the body’s blood vessels and neural network. This group of tissues are transmitters that connect and maintain every part of the human body. The spirit of these titular roles are conveyed in this series via thread. The threads connect spaces, communicate colors, and gather them to shape columns of light. But the use of thread is different from how it would be used for clothing. “This series was born out of much thought about the exchange between fashion and architecture,” attests artist Gabriel Dawe on the concept for his works. The beginning of these installation pieces was an idea that expanded the use of thread in fashion to an element of architecture. The common denominator between fashion and architecture is the idea that they are both “shelters” for the human body. “I wanted to create new things by constructing objects in spaces that resemble cloth. It is a refuge for the spirit and soul, though, not the body.” Dawe was inspired by the comfort that he found in spectra of light, and he recalled how rays of light in the air looked like they were weaved together like threads.

Plexus No.40 displayed properties? The reason can be found in some of his writings. in PARADISE ART SPACE was designed using a long window “B eing able to meet the shape of the invisible lends itself in the ceiling. Just like light pouring down from the sky, beams to transcendental hope. Hope that there may still be beauty in of thread cascade from either end of the skylight in a fantastic this mess of a world that we live in.” The rainbows that he gives spectrum. to the world are reminders that this hope is true and real. It seems as though a natural phenomenon has merely appeared, but the work is a result of meticulously repeated actions. First, the shapes and colors are imagined in the space, and then a computer program is used to precisely calculate the number of rings and length of threads to be installed on the ceiling, walls, and floor. This process is similar to weaving carpets or fabrics. Thousands of threads are bound from top to bottom, left to right. Another point is that the length of one thread can span from a few meters to a few dozen meters, and are threaded not with a needle but with a large pole to connect the rings where the threads are looped. “It’s dull work. As soon as my hands touch it, there’s always some regret. But as the work starts to take shape, I get excited again. Because great details I couldn’t even envision at the beginning start to appear.” For example, in Plexus No.40, a pattern of tiny holes appears at each intersecting point of the threads. Although the gradient of color is the biggest factor,

The fantastic architecture story of MVRDV, designer of WONDERBOX, gets more interesting the more you delve into it. Read on to get the scoop on WONDERBOX.

How- ever, MVRDV presented a new solution through a system called “The Imprint.” The façade of WONDERBOX has elements from surrounding buildings, from small patterns to windows and doors, imprinted on it as if a shadow has been cast. Regarding this, Winy Maas explained, “We wanted to con- nect The Imprint to its neighbours in an in- telligent way,” adding, “This ensures co- herence. PARADISE CITY is not a collection of individual objects such as Las Vegas, but a real city.” To make such a unique façade, MVRDV used glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC). The GFRC method does not use the conventional method of weaving the frame with rebar and pouring concrete in a cast to harden, but instead constructs a building by manufacturing standardized concrete panels from a factory and attaching them to a framework. Contrary to conventional concrete, it has the advantage of being light, thin, and, more than anything else, capable of freely con- trolling color or surface patterns. MVRDV used 3D modeling to create the individual structural molds, using a total of 3,869 panels. As a re- sult, the completed form looks like something from the future. When you have the opportunity to visit WONDERBOX, pay close attention to CLUB CHROMA across from WONDERBOX, and the square located in between. The imprint of the surrounding buildings can be found in the designs of the two buildings and the square itself. As such, WONDERBOX, which could easily stand as a piece of art on its own, makes us wonder what the differ- ence is between architecture and art. Winy Maas explains, “When we first published this project, the reaction was one of sur- prise. People didn’t think it was real!

The youth’s overwhelming surge of energy continues for a whole month. It’s been some time since the Korean word for staycation, “hocance,” has been trending. The term means to spend a vacation at a hotel. Well, what about a “hostival,” or festival in a hotel, at PARADISE CITY? An un- precedented summer festival that cannot be seen anywhere but at PARADISE CITY, the PARADISE SUMMER FES- TA will last a month from the first week of July.
