Gesamtkunst.... what?
May 23, 2014
In the same way that “the sum of the whole is greater than the sum of the individual parts”, gesamtkunstwerk, for us, is more than just the additive value that each component brings to the equation. It’s how a cultural event, a building, a public space or a piece of public art adds more than just its face value. Taken at face value, maybe it’s just a salon series dialogue, the Vancouver House building, the space under the Granville Street bridge or a suspended chandelier, but we don’t live in a closed system, and it is the interaction of these elements with the people experiencing it that adds ‘life’ to the ‘life as a total work of art’ philosophy.
