Project
AP207.S1.1968.PR04
Description:
This project series documents Pettena's installation entitled "Grazia & Giustizia", named after the Ministry of Justice in Italy. This project is the third of a series of three installations created in 1968 which consisted of large three-dimensional letters, forming words, and made purposely of perishable materials. The "Grazia & Giustizia" was created and constructed in the context of the 6th Festival of Avant-Garde Music in Palermo, in 1968. Unlike the first two installations in this series, this one was destroyed intentionally and was more of a performance as each cardboard letter was taken and thrown in the sea after a funeral procession accompanied by music played by the group MEV (Musica Elettronica Viva). The installation was re-created in 2012, this time in Civitella del Tronto, at "a great fort dating from the 16th century, which was not only the dominant architectural feature in that context but in particular the place where 'justice' used to be dispensed (or not)." [1] The project series contains photographs of the procession and of the letters once in the sea, and two drawings, including one showing the letters floating in the water. The project series also contains photographs showing the installation at the fort of Civitella del Tronto in 2012 and project descriptions in English and Italian.

Series
Paul Goesch
AP162.S2
Description:
Series documents the contribution of architect Paul Goesch to the correspondence circle of Die gläserne Kette. Goesch participated using the pseudonym Tancred. Born in Schwerin, Germany in 1985, Goesch studied architecture at the Technische Hochschule at Berlin-Charlottenburg. After his studies, he worked as a civil servant in Kulm and started producing his first drawings and watercolours between 1914 and 1916. He joined the Novembergruppe, an exhibiting group of painters, sculptors, architects and musicians that later merged with the Arbeitsrat für Kunst group led by Bruno Taut. He collaborated with Bruno Taut on the coloured-architecture program in Magdeburg, Germany in 1921, but was later hospitalized for mental illness, first in Göttingen, then in the Teupitz Hospital near Berlin in 1933 or 1934. In 1940, he was taken by the SS to Hartheim Euthanasia Centre where he was murdered on 6 September the same year. (Source: Ian Boyd Whyte, Bruno Taut and the Architecture of Activism. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1982) The series comprises a letter of Paul Goesch to the Die gläserne Kette circle, as well as portraits, including a carte-de-visite, and a diploma.
