Opening at Budapest Art Factory: Templates, Patterns & Folds

Updated: Aug 14


The focus of Marcus Farr’s 2016 project, "Templates, Patterns & Folds," is centered on investigating the most simplistic materials and processes of making born from basic architectural geometries. In Budapest, the work takes specific meaning from the studio process of folding, creasing, and cutting materials such as paper and card stock. In some ways, this looks at the material as an ancient one, explicitly simple and quiet, yet by representing it in an architectural context, it is allowed to have very real and perceived meaning as to how one might begin thinking about a "new” architectural materiality in a series of spaces. It is manifested in the world of drawing and model making, whereby the process of imagination allows the most notable characteristics of the material to begin to make an impact on the representation of architecture.
