Flying Carpets

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

A selection of images and texts from Drago's latest publication. Flying Carpets, the 7th volume produced as part of Drago’s continuing collaboration with the French Academy in Rome – Villa Medici, is the catalog for the exhibition of the same name (Tapis Volants), on display from May 30th through October 21st, 2012. While modernist tradition maintains that the carpet was used as a paradigm for the affirmation of flatness in painting, the contrary may also be said; the flying carpet can be envisaged as a way of introducing movement in surfaces that produces effects of floating, disorientation or disequilibrium.
