Bucky celebrated

Fuller with models of the Standard of Living Package and Skybreak Dome.

Great to see the genius that is Buckminster Fuller celebrated at the Whitney in the first ever US comprehensive survey of his work - Buckminster Fuller: Starting with the Universe opening June 26th and running until September 21st. Read a story on Fuller from the New Yorker



Running alongside the Whitney show will be an exhibition of sculpture and prints by Fuller at the Sebastian + Barquet Gallery, 544 W.24th St, New York - opening June 11th. The six sculptures in the exhibition - The Closest Packing of Spheres, Complex of Jitterbugs, Ninety Strut Tensegrity, Six Part Push/Pull Tensegrity, Twelve Degrees of Freedom, and Duo-Tet Star Polyhedra - incorporate many of the same basic geometric principles as Buckminster Fuller's geodesic architectural structures. There will also be an exhibition at
Max Protetch and a number of Special Events

Also excited to see that a catalogue for the 2006 exhibition Best of Friends: Isamu Noguchi and Buckminster Fuller is finally coming out this month - compiled by Shoji Sadao.




Project for Floating Cloud Structures (Cloud Nine), by Buckminster Fuller and Shoji Sadao. Fuller envisioned a future in which floating communities would “hover among the clouds.”
