Post-Traumatic Model V-b Sculpture

Creating a non-place realm of imaginary experiences, Amir Tomashov presents a series of “architectural landscapes” - models, collages and sketches merging constructivist and deconstructivist dynamics crashing in space and speed. Far from the professional practice of the architect-builder, Tomashov researchs urban anatomies with a clinical look. He thinks in an utopian way FOR space, as if space had to be cared for, or even saved. As if our spatial experience was in imminent danger of being swallowed by an invisible force. Globalization erases memory, hence it erases Time and Space, as both experiences interact through our ability to remember. Tomashov’s ideal cities are far from being romantic. They project us, naked, into a post atomic cosmos of never-ending wandering, where ruined bits and pieces of cities and buildings do not offer any place to rest. Utopia meets apocalypse, thus becoming dystopia. Brutal, violent, and still, entirely redeemed by the power of poetry - the poetry of Amir’s artistic technique: a brilliant capacity for mixing media in blowing compositions, combining high-tech, architecture and craft into conceptual models, into pieces of dream - into pieces of art.
