Rubble Rouser
The asymmetry and as-found aesthetics of projects such as Hecker’s Spiral Apartment House are recalled in his “Ruins of Good Intentions”: a readymade assembly taken from the rubble of a freshly demolished wall at Neumeister Bar-Am Gallery in Berlin during 2014. Upon seeing the rubble Hecker was “impressed with the uniqueness of the forms” which “cannot be replicated without precise handiwork”. Rearranging the fragmented bricks, still caked with cement, Hecker housed them within the safety and purity of a glass cube, presenting them as as valuable evidence of something once built with love, care and: good intentions. p (gk)
