Defining Moment:

Early 1940s — movement as structure; form became language

Sandú Darié

(

1908–1991

)

Darié built a world where movement became geometry.

His kinetic reliefs used rotation and modular rhythm to convert abstraction into choreography.

‍

In his world, motion clarified structure: a dance of precision made mechanical and human at once.

Structural Focus

Rule-Based Freedom

Constraints or systems generate variation. Freedom arises through adherence to rules rather than expressive choice.

In Sandu Darie’s work, this approach appears where repetition structures movement.

Position

Rule-Based Freedom

Constraints or systems generate variation. Freedom arises through adherence to rules rather than expressive choice.

In Sandu Darie’s work, this approach appears where repetition structures movement.

Form is governed by rigid rules, limits, and non-negotiable constraints.

Systems of Clarity

Order and coherence arise through disciplined systems and constraints.

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

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

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

Form is constructed through measurable, non-representational means.

Constructed form prioritizes system, function, and collective use.

Structual Relations

The following practices are connected through shared structural decisions in form, material, and spatial logic.
