“Arbitrariness is essentially a response to a whim rather than a discipline, ant it seem to have a life of its own rather than stablished frame of reference to wich to relate. Its capriciousness achieve the most with the least, in favor of more personal objectives.

As an extension of the concept of individual freedom, it hits againts the ethics of collective conciousness and eliminates any notion of objectivity to stress subjectivity beyond reason.�

2

The purpose of this summary is to condense all the aspects that influence to explain the reason of the existence of the studio. It begins with the physical area where the studio is installed (the red grass, influenced by Vian's novel). Then it goes up to a space dedicated to reflect on the existence of our ideal (analyzing the artistic movements that changed the 20th century). This is followed by the artistic/ideological movements that coexist with modern times. From here, a level is raised about the fundamental bases of condensation in the field of design in modern times. And finally the studio is located on the roof of this whole structure of influences.

L’Herbe rouge

Boris Vian published in 1950.

•

Juan Solano +694 665 3493 js@redgrass.gr

7

• A novel with pataphysical nuances about man's obsessions, his struggle and his end. A story about the boredom of modern times and the illusion of being able to change something to achieve happiness.

• The red grass is the scene where this story of existentialist and surrealist cuts takes place.

• One part mentions how sinister red grass is for making the characters submit to an introspective struggle.

• In the face of the torment suffered by the scientist Wolf: "It is unbearable to have to drag with you what has been the past" the main plot revolves around the machine he has created.

• "It is made to forget, -the machine- but first you have to remember everything, without omitting anything.

Even with more details, and without feeling what you felt then."

• “From there you see things as they were, that’s all.”

The phisical space to build Juan Solano +694 665 3493 js@redgrass.gr

9

• In conclusion, Vian's novel tells us the stories of characters who are subject to change, changes that will completely define their lives (or end them in the cases of Wolf and Saphir).

• The red grass is nothing more than the physical boundary where these internal struggles, events of the characters, take place.

• "The pluk field was extended on the edge of the Square, behind the southern wall. There the grass was not red, just a beautiful artificial green adorned with copses and cross-eyed rabbit beds."

• For the studio and the ideological proposal, the red grass is that space in which we build the ideological structure and where everything really suffers a process of continuous and definitive change, as in the novel.

Invention of influence

11

• Sitting at the base, that is, the red grass, as a geographical space where things change. This first level takes the influences of three key movements that marked the history of design. Our profession is new thanks to these movements that make it aspire to a progress and approach to the fine arts.

• As a base, De Stijl was chosen for his connection to Morris' Art & Craft movement and his radical proposal with Mondrian and Van Doesburg.

• Since Van Doesburg is a pioneer in this field, it is important to take into account his relationship with the Bauhaus as well as the other avant-garde movements of the early 20th century.

• It is important to emphasize the importance of the four Bauhaus as their influence in different contexts and moments of history. They are the key to understanding globalized design.

• Constructivism, like the other Russian avant-gardes, will be key to understanding the typographic and photographic evolution in our field.

Ideological Influence 14

Juan Solano +694 665 3493 js@redgrass.gr

15

The ideological influence from the beginning of the 20th century to the present • Being the design studio a modern institution, it cannot be satisfied only with the recognized ideology of the avant-garde of the beginning of the last century. And it would also be very difficult to make reference to any contemporary artistic movement because time has not yet shown whether they are transcendental.

• The most appropriate conclusion is to assume an intermediate ideological reference between the avantgarde (XX) and the present day.

• Three movements have been chosen for this purpose, each of which has a relationship with the ideology behind the studio.

• Alfred Jerry's movement in reference to Vian's novel and the absurd critical universe directed by Duchamp.

• The Dutch anarchist group for its authenticity and ingenuity to protest in the middle of the 20th century.

• And to Zero for his interesting proposal and solution to the trap of artistic dehumanization that influences our context.

19

• Already with a strong base of contemporary criticism it is important to base it on technique, on its further development.

• To this end, four references from the half-century have been selected, especially for their dedication to teaching the intuitions of the advent of the technological revolution.

• These four referential figures of modernism, are chosen by the hard work of standardization of the design and it is there where we want to be able to make works, as a direct and well founded reference.

• The crisis of modern times and the understanding of it deserves social analysis, we believe that cinema takes care of this. • Three films have been selected that turn around that existential terror, consequent that has caused the dehumanization of this society. The emphasis is on the three-point visions. USA, France and UK / Italy, which give a reflection of modern society.
