" THE LEGACY SERIES "
ORGANIC ARCHITECTURE
Organic Art
The Legacy Series
by Edward A. Schatz
is a new archive never before
done, whereupon I videotape one-on-one interviews, discussions, informal
conversation with the
Modern Masters of Art and
Organic Architecture from
around the world, preserved to DVD for those separated from those people by time
and by geography.
It is a living recording of those whilst they burned
in the fire that is their lives, to carry on for all times available.
These will serve to teach, inform, open discusssion
topics, debates, and for architects and artists tro view their peers and
professionals and see what they are doing and thinking in their own words.
Any specific questions that anyone needs to address
to me personally, please feel free to e-mail me.
More later, in the spirit of
freedom, Edward A. Schatz.
La Serie della Tradizione
di Edward A. Schatz è un nuovo archivio in costruzione,
che registra le interviste, le discussioni, la conversazione informale con i
Maestri Moderni dell'Arte e
dell'Architettura Organica di tutto il mondo,
conservati a DVD per le persone che sono separati da quella gente dal tempo
e dalla geografia. È una registrazione vivente di quelli mentre si sta bruciando
il fuoco delle loro vite, per continuare per tutti i tempi in futuro.
Questi
serviranno ad insegnare, informare, aprire i soggetti di discussioni, dibattiti
ed affinché gli architetti e gli artisti osservino i loro pari e professionisti
ed a vedere che cosa stanno facendo e pensando nelle loro proprie parole. Tutte
le domande specifiche che chiunque vuole inviarmi personalmente, prego di
inviarmele liberamente per e-mail.
Sempre meglio, nello spirito di libertà, Edward A. Schatz.

" The Legacy Series "

The Legacy Series
Advances
My friends; hello.
We are moving forward every day
as time moves us along. I wanted to create a series where those creative
individuals in organic architecture and art would be remembered and captured in
more than static photographs. Something that; beyond their times, people could
come and see them and visit with them as they spoke about their lives and
answered questions that came into my mind. For many I am too late, Wright and
Goff, Gaudi and Zevi are gone. I have conjectured much about the meaning of the
Legacy Series in these past few months. I am looking forward to my sojourn to
Italy and England for a proposed 11 interviews to the Series. I am looking
forward to meeting the Italians, who from the onset have held close a great
regard and understanding of Frank Lloyd Wright, Bruce Goff, Antonio Gaudi and
Bruno Zevi. I have stated before, perhaps not here, that while we hold sacred
and reverence to these masters of the birthing of organic architecture, we have
not paid homage to those masters who are where with us now. They are gone, and
the world has changed, and no longer are they available to ask of and solve our
dilemmas, so now, we must turn to the new masters. I remember during an
interview many years hence; with architect Norm Applebaum of Mt. Helix residence
near San Diego stating “when you meet these people, ask everything you wish to
know of them, have them tell their stories, because when they are gone, the
story is over and the book is closed.” This is where the Legacy Series enters,
with regard and affection and understanding to those we are learning from now. I
have always been bothered by our means of lauds to those already gone, and
forget the lionization of those still alive.
We all have common ancestors and ancestry,
our common thread to the past from mankind’s earliest residents; our huddled
masses in caves resplendid with pretroglyphs. The two forms; shelter from the
elements, enemies, predators, weather and all of the other considerations that
collaterally follow that, and the art forms that marked those dwellings inside
and out, have followed us through our evolution and development. They are as
essential to our movement through time, as sustenance and, fire, water and air.
They are records as well as necessities.
We have in fact, forgotten our colleagues
and friends from who we learn from, and this is wrong. It is not a popular idea
I am expressing here, but simply a truthful one. These candid sittings may be
our only like to see these people for those of us too far geographically from
them, or have not means to procure a happenstance meeting to hold court with
them, or simply born too late. The vibrancy of their lives and speech and joy
and that which they were in the fires that burned which are their lives. I am
constantly looking about to see who must be considered, and fret occasionally
that I may not get to some individuals, or in some instance missed some,
something I had previously not considered.
The Series has now fully bifurcated, and
those artists, who were originally not given the call, now have; and have
responded well. There is art in architecture and architecture in art. It is art,
in large part that drives these creative architects, and for many artists,
architecture that in turn captures their eye. There are also those who gentle
straddle the fence between the two, and are strong in their devotion for both.
I am not
always certain, except what I feel is right, who must be included here, and
their names are many. So, I must continue forward and speak to as many as it is
possible, and then let time and others decide if I did right by them. If we wait
until they are gone, then we will never know them. I hope that I have it in me
to sit with all of these individuals whom have so far enriched my life beyond
measure. So, my friends; welcome………….
