Orgin:

Venezuela/Germany

Field Notes:

Wire meshes and drawings build non hierarchical networks where every joint negotiates tension

Defining Moment:

The Reticulárea environments where suspended nets convert entire rooms into walk through drawings of gravity and relation

Gego

(

1912–1994

)

geh-go

Gego built a world where line becomes constellation — networks of wire forming floating geometries.

Her structures reveal space as a woven, permeable field.

Structural Focus

Space as Drawing

Line, frame, or interval organizes space instead of filling it. Structure is articulated through placement rather than mass.

In Gego’s work, this approach appears where line and net articulate space through relational structure.

Material Intelligence

Material behavior actively determines structural decisions.

Systems of Clarity

Order and coherence arise through disciplined systems and constraints.

Material

Material behavior governs form through weight, resistance, and constraint.

Proportion

Proportion organizes coherence through measured intervals, scale, and relation.

Structure

Structure holds the work through rules, joins, and controlled relationships between parts.

Art

Form operates as a site for material, perceptual, and conceptual inquiry.

Concrete Art

Geometry and logic replace expression and illusion.

Constructivism

Form follows engineering logic, social purpose, and material efficiency.
