He began building a fantastical structure inside his Hanover studio in 1923, which he conceived as a project without end. It gradually took over most of the house. He continued to work on it in different locations throughout his life, remarking that the \u003ci\u003eMerzbau\u003c\/i\u003e contained everything that was important to him. This groundbreaking volume results from the first of a series of Zurich-based symposia on the \u003ci\u003eMerzbau\u003c\/i\u003e and its legacy in contemporary architecture, art and society. The \u003ci\u003eSymposium Merzbau\u003c\/i\u003e sets a new standard for further research on Schwitter's influential project. Edited by curator and writer Hans Ulrich Obrist, this book includes contributions by art historians, critics and architects--including Yona Friedman, Thomas Hirschorn and Gwendolen Webster--who discuss ways in which the \u003ci\u003eMerzbau\u003c\/i\u003e resonates in their fields, and provide new perspectives on Schwitters' under-examined masterwork.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jrpeditions","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47999784910999,"sku":"9783905701371","price":892.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783905701371.webp?v=1783601731","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/merz-world-processing-the-complicated-order-9783905701371","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
