Euclid Avenue Gallery
5:30-8:00 PM Public Opening
7:00 PM The Artist Talks: Mark Schatz in the Euclid Avenue Gallery
1834 E. 123rd Street, Cleveland, Ohio 44106 USA
In UNIVERSE, Mark Schatz maps the world in a sprawling, double-sided landscape model that draws from architects, planners and hobbyists, as well as from obsessive, self-taught artists who have spent years struggling to manifest their interior worlds in basements and backyards. This faceted map could conceivably fold in either direction to form a continuous globe or, more precisely, a cuboctohedron. The structure, which fills the entire Euclid Avenue Gallery, is derived from by the global "Dymaxion" projection maps developed by designer and visionary R. Buckminister Fuller.
