Inconclusive Evidence

Beschreibung

Inconclusive Evidence is a semiotic study of letters, drawings, sketches and paintings related to Strawberry Hill in Twickenham, Middlesex, one of the most studied villas of all time and regarded as a forerunner to the Gothic revival in architecture. Horace Walpole assembled a 'Committee of Taste' to assist him in its construction, and as a result of the social requirements of the time and all made household emerged. The book sheds new light on the relation between Strawberry Hill and modernity.

'I have had the pleasure of following Jan Hietala's artistic development for three decades. The nonchalant decadence of his early days has been surpassed and transformed. Over the years Hietala has methodically turned the screw harder, in a theoretical and complex artistic direction. In his work we encounter contemporary gender and queer theory related issus as well as an unorthodox critical methodology. Inconclusive Evidence is Hietala's most theoretical piece to date. With anticipation I look forward to what results it will bring, both within the field of architectural theory and elsewhere.' Daniel Birnbaum, Director Moderna Museet Stockholm
