On Unbosom (Part I) Angie Chan

John Hejduk, The Cathedral, 1996

The Studio, Antoun is bound by a virtual enclosure defined by a geographical territory that spans from Australia to China to Singapore. This small world will be disclosed in the digital windows of Instagram and end of semester exhibition. Next to the four project images is the disclosure of our thinking in four crafted sentences.

The remaining wall of the U House bear two sides that are both interior and exterior. The location of existing windows and doors allow views from one side to the other. There are these tension against the wall when looking or stepping through, whether encountering from the inside or outside.

In John Hejduk’s speculative project The Cathedral, a series of architectural element are located through, against and hung from a wall that describes the periphery of a single chamber. Hejduk perceived these elements as moment of angels passaging through this wall. The wall disclose the moment of this impossible passage, and the element draw light further into the cathedral.

The U House wall’s disclosed thresholds enable to hold us in, hold us out, and be held against.
