Concrete Pour: Feedback & Flow in Smithson
The Post-War Dynamics of Concrete in Chicago
The Post-War Dynamics of Concrete in Chicago
Robert Smithson’s Concrete Pour is barely documented – in a few photos, regional maps, and an audio recording of Smithson’s instructions (for the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art’s). This series speculatively looks at the Pour as material and chemical composite, socio-economic infrastructure, and strategic energy entrainment. Instead of mere entropic matter, the Pour becomes an urbanist guide to the inter-dependencies of industry.
