It’s been known since 1882 that it’s impossible to construct a square with the area of a given circle using only a compass and straightedge. But in 1977 Thomas Elsner showed that the task becomes possible if the circle is allowed to roll:

Kuno Grommers

While they can be mistaken for abstract compositions, Kuno Grommers’ works feature an actual space, his studio, whose walls have been entirely painted. Weeks of careful arrangement are condensed into a single photograph, in which two-dimensionality and three-dimensionality intertwine. The actual space is deconstructed into a flat image, where the illusion of depth is sometimes recreated. The trompe-l’oeil works so perfectly that the straight edges of the studio seamlessly blend into any shape. At times, the cube turns into a curved composition. Squaring the circle, sphering the cube?

Kuno is represented by Galerie Bart.

So sehr #AntonCorbijn den Kaffeemann und Daniel bereits mit Fotografien und auch Filmen begeistern konnte, umso enttäuschter sind sie doch ein wenig von dessen erster #Doku #SquaringTheCircle über #Hypgnosis und den legendären Plattencovern dieser einflussreichen, Konventionen über den Haufen werfenden Kreativschmiede aus den 70ern.

Die Letzte Filmkritik (Podcast)

Mit Tunnelblick und bemerkenswert viel Material aus schon lange bekannten Interviews hat Regisseur Anton Corbijn eine überraschend unkreativ montierte Chronologie der legendären Plattencover-Kunstschmiede Hypgnosis zusammengestellt. Die realen Personen und ihre Geschichte in Squaring the Circle blei

De Vishal: Squaring the Circle

‘Kun je met behulp van een passer en een liniaal een vierkant maken met dezelfde oppervlakte als een gegeven cirkel?’ Het probleem klinkt eenvoudig, maar sinds de oudheid hebben generaties wiskundigen zich beziggehouden met deze vraag.
