NEW WORLDS – Monument for Tatlin
- The fire of Notre Dame de Paris has showen that churches and cathedrals continue to have a symbolic character in our age. They are at the centre of urban society, an expression of human striving in art, and symbolize the connection between the heavens and the earth. Their architecture lets us experience this through imposing towers, lofty windows that flood the interior with light, or a raised location. Since the turn of the 20th century, structures such as the Eiffel Tower or utopian edifices such as by Vladimir Tatlin’s ›Monument for the Third International‹ (a never-realized design which envisaged a 300-metre-high structure) have been gaining symbolic meaning. Dan Flavin reflects Tatlin’s design in his staggered arrangements of fluorescent tubes, which bring the materials of glass and metal intended for use in the ›Monument‹ as well as its luminous character into the present.
