Richard Serra, "Torqued Ellipse IV"
[Voiceover] When Richard Serra first became interested in bending plates of steel over 25 years ago he felt he'd had little experience with large scale curved surfaces.발음듣기
[Richard] I realized that there wasn't a large vocabulary of building with curvilinear forms particularly in a city that's made up of right angles.발음듣기
The only curvature building I can think of of any node in the city at that time was Frank Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim Museum.발음듣기
[Voiceover] You'll see that difference immediately when you reach the opening and step into Torqued Ellipse IV.발음듣기
[Richard] As you step inside, the piece seems to have a great elasticity as it moves around and it either leans over your head or leans away from you depending on where you are.발음듣기
As the piece gets higher it rotates in relation to itself, but it's the same all the way up.발음듣기
I happened to be in Rome and walked into a church that was built in the 15th century and I looked at the floor and I looked at the ceiling and I thought that the simple ellipse on the floor was turned in relationship to the one overhead.발음듣기
When I walked to the center of the floor I realized that it was just a regular ellipse that rose like an elliptical cylinder straight up.발음듣기
He went to an arrow space engineer and asked him if it was possible to make such a twisted or a torqued form.발음듣기
The first model took 3 years to be built because we couldn't find a computer program or a steel mill that knew how to build these things.발음듣기
The technology has been developed to allow one to bend metal under heavy compression and we used very large machines, first used to build battleships in the 2nd World War.발음듣기
People really hadn't really explored the potential for what steel could be in terms of it's variabilities and elasticity.발음듣기
