Intro Intro...
Intro Intro... captures the artist’s experience sifting through the unprocessed papers of the late modernist architect Walter Netsch and finding the art of life within. Netsch’s working processes and inspirations are revealed through transcribed drafts of introductory remarks and speeches. The reader can interact with scanned archival material hidden beneath page folds to uncover doodles atop correspondence, a brainstorm map, a grocery list, scraps of fabric, etc. Intro Intro... also incorporates an original essay about the tychic element in archival research drawing a parallel between the spontaneity of Netsch’s search for form and new geometries.
