Bloody Sundays

• La Villette used to be a slaughterhouse 
• Architecture can’t change function entirely; Prison functions as a prison and the architecture itself is not for a freeman. 
• “A museum is like the lungs of a great city: the crowd floods into the museum every Sunday like blood, and it leaves purified and fresh.” 
• “The origin of the modern museum,” he comments, “would thus be linked to the development of the guillotine.” => “The Louvre was turned into a museum during the Revolution by the Convention when the function of royalty had been put to an end. The museum is what the Terror invented to replace the king, to replace the irreplaceable.”

 

Defacement

• Such a place where it has defacement usually has negative energy. 
• “Indeed this negative state can come across as more sacred than “sacred,” especially since that most spectacular defacement, the death of God, was announced by Nietzsche’s madman: “Do you feel the breath of empty space?” He demands, lantern held high in the blazing sun.” 
• “It is the cut as the montage principle that makes the energy in the system visible and active.” – Thomas Elsaesser 
• “Defacement is like Enlightenment. It brings insides outside, unearthing knowledge, and revealing the mystery. 

 

Thought 

the museum usually has a negative perspective historically…? 

-> In fact, most of the historical collections in museums are looted from other countries. 

Takashi Murakami mentioned in his book”芸術企業論”, that great art comes after having mental struggles.
