Ruminations on place: the rule and the model (in Eduardo Chillida). Igeldotik Zabalagara
Abstract
The present text approaches the work of sculptor Eduardo Chillida from a two folded point of view. On one hand, it states that the sculpture of Chillida builds places, which is argued through the exploration of the meaning of words place and space. On the other hand, it points to the close relationship that can be found between the concepts of rule, model and paradigm and the singular work of sculpture. Both threads lead to the final conclusion: the sculptures of Chillida, especially the ones in open spaces like the Peine del viento or those in Chillida-Leku, propose themselves as a paradigm that, in each particular situation, give place to the place.Downloads
