In Absence of Bodies (2011)
AP207.S1.2011.PR04
Description:
The project series documents the installation "In Absence of Bodies" designed by Pettena in 2011 for the Stromerein Performance Festival in Zurich, Switzerland. The installation consists of clothes lines hung in the main square of the city and refers to Pettena's previous installation "Laundry" in 1969. In this case "[...] it is not laundry that, being hung out in the main square of the city, polemically ‘violate’ the context of the power. Rather, it is a statement on the body in its absence, as the performance takes place in a dance and theatre festival where the body is always protagonist." [1] A second edition was also presented at the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art in Salt Lake City, in 2013. The project series contains a drawing of the installation, a sketch, details for the hanging lines, a printout of a photo montage of the installation, and photographs and a video of the installation.

Series
AP196.S2
Description:
Series 2, Project files for full-term design, 2007-2011, documents the design phase after the firm won the project. During this phase, the firm refined the design, which included deciding on the pattern for the bird screen. The firm also produced the construction drawings and was in contact with potential subcontractors for the project. However, due to cuts in the city budget, the Ford Calumet Environmental Center was never built. The records consist largely of AutoCAD drawings and original sketches documenting the final design development phase, as well as related AutoCAD drawings for construction details. The records also include email correspondence with project subcontractors and City of Chicago’s Department of Environment and programming documents submitted to the City for different commissions and departments. The records also include marketing documents used for different publications about the project. Additionally, there is one study model for the entire building, two sectional models for façade roof and deck, and one terrazzo flooring sample.
