The Sky Is Thin As Paper Here...

Overview

'The Sky Is Thin As Paper Here...' (Kunsthaus Graz Remix, 2005) by Cerith Wyn Evans is yet another attempt at mapping out the potentiality of BIX façade as a particular site of spectacle within the performative architecture of the Kunsthaus Graz. Inspired by a novel 'The Place of Dead Roads' by William S. Burroughs, and in collaboration with Luis Augusto Pecora Marques Pinto, São Paulo-based musician and DJ, this complex project combines literary reference with a polyphonic musical score and results in a beyond-architectural, sophisticated edifice of sound and light, as well as an image and a text. 'The Sky is Thin As Paper Here...' enters urban space as both an imaginary projection and a real challenge for perceptive agencies.
