Sweethearts

After Emmett Williams´concrete poem

The idea for turning into glass some of Emmett Williams´ SWEETHEARTS pages came aaround 2014 when I started making the glass letters. But it is so slow all this, I only started it around 2020, when I finished the Concrete Suite which took me almost 4 years to complete.

I saw these concrete poems as blueprints for an architect, and since I was barely starting developping this technique I was glad to find sources for inspiration...


I also made it, in 2020, to highlight the beauty of this love poem, in times where I was under criminal harrassment for being a loving person. Love and art, as antidotes for the shear fascist and mediocre ugliness that is abusing the whole art world system.


LOVE is way more powerful than any abusive merde. In fact abusive people are all losers. Sooner or later. Check the Donald these days !!


I have around 9 or 10 pieces done...

Project Gallery

Idée Fixe  is a Transdisciplinary Studio of Art and Architecture, run by Cristina Guadalupe Galván.

If in a website you normally find finished objects and products to share, what we are sharing here are more ideas – tested, developed and lived -- and their processes, that in many instances ended up happily physical. The creative process is about experimentation and the life that goes with it. The life and the people.

While building this site I came across a quote that explained it to me much better, by architects Josep Ferrando & Marta Poch, for their Quaderns d´Arquitectura, issue 273, THE THINKING TRADE:

      In a world dominated by images of the finished object and the immediacy of access to multimedia content, this issue of Quaderns sets out to reflect on the role of the architect –by means of their working processes, of the working methods (…) leaving the image of the built project on the background.

For artist Sol LeWitt, the process was also the work:

      The idea becomes a machine that makes the art. (...) It is the process of conception and realization with which the artist is concerned. 

Architect Josep Maria Sostres said something similar:

      The project, obviously as a mental conception, as a will to form, has a sovereignty, it has an internal power that must be imposed.

So this archive-website of Idee-Fixe, records more these ideas, processes and in many instances the collaborations that made them possible.

It´s about THE LIFE OF IDEAS.
