Sketches No. 9 2001

Editor: We're looking at Tadashi Kawamata's "Sketches No. 9," a pencil drawing. The architectural fragments feel so fleeting, like a half-remembered dream. What do you see in this piece? Curator: It's almost Haiku, isn't it? Raw, ephemeral. Kawamata captures not just the structure but the *idea* of building. Those tentative lines remind me of the potential inherent in every beginning, a blueprint for something yet to be. Editor: I never thought of it that way - potential! Curator: Exactly! It’s less about the concrete object, and more about the abstract dance of creation. Editor: Makes you think about what could be. Curator: Yes, and even what shouldn't be!
