Pedro Reyes is a Mexican artist who has created a series of sculptures called Capula. Made of steel and woven nylon, Capula looks like an awesome clubhouse.
Reyes has drawn up a "Capula Manifesto" that reads like this:
If a Room has rigid walls/the Capula shall be elastic
If a Room divides the inside from the outside/the Capula shall be permeable
If a Room is grounded/the Capula shall hover
If a Room is steady/the Capula shall rock or swing
If a Room has walls that block the light/the Capula shall radiate the light
If a Room creates a fixed field of vision/the Capula shall be kinetic
If a Room needs furniture/the Capula will turn into furniture
If a Room hides from the view/the Capula allows a glimpse
If a Room is an ensemble of parts/the Capula shall be a continuum
In fact,
a sense
of essence
is,
in essence
of sense,
in effect.

I love art work that is accompanied by a manifesto.
