TITLES for Peter Halley

His titles in colored glass color

Peter had the idea for The Tomb Songs, as a small work I could sell easier (since I was complicating myself with very large ideas... It is a default setting of mine). So while I was making it I thought of this idea, to also turn some of his titles into little glass sentences!


The titles of the 80s specially, which are very descriptive of the elements in the painting. So I used the color of the element it is describing for its word.


I only made these 5 for an open studio. Funny there was a person who wanted to buy them all !! Someone who did not know Peter Halley, nor his work. I have a feeling someone wanted to remove them from circulation :)) But luckily she couldn´t afford them all.


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.
