    Nguyên Hà (ARB Architects, Hanoi, Vietnam) - “SERENITY-UNCONCIOUSNESS- CRAFTSMANSHIP-ARCHITECTURE”

    Nguyen Hà, co-founder of ARB Architects, emphasizes finding “serenity” in architecture. Her projects reflect the progression of culture, history, and religions in different regions and ethnicities in Vietnam. She pays special attention to the formation, disappearance, and transitional processes of Vietnamese traditional craft villages. Hà worked with artisans from such villages to preserve traditional production methods and to create new materials. She is also known as a designer of lighting installations.

    Rauschenberg’s White Paintings (1951): A Catalogue Raisonné Case Study

    On October 18, 1951, Robert Rauschenberg wrote a letter to his gallerist, Betty Parsons, announcing a new series of work “dealing with the suspense, excitement, and body of an organic silence.” Despite an initially negative reception, his White Paintings have since been recognized as a critical precursor to Conceptualism and Minimalism. Rauschenberg felt it essential to maintain the pristine, white surface of the paintings, and, as such, allowed the series to be repainted and refabricated.
