Theorie einer Moglichen Gestaltung 1. (Katalog trigon 67).

Graz.: n.p., 1967. Original wrappers, stapled.. (24 x 23 cm).. pp. (12). One colour and numerous black-and-white illustrations. As a member of the Forum Stadtpark, founded in 1959, Jorrit Tornquist was a defining figure in the cultural awakening movement in Graz in the 1960s. His artistic production deals with the relationship between colour and surface and space in painting and architecture. Participation in trigon 67 group biennal exhibition gave the artist the opportunity to implement a scientific-mathematical model that had been developed in previous years. This is based on the assumption that human feeling can be broken down into various individual parts. The artist used a grid scheme to depict it. In the exhibition he showed a grid structure consisting of different colored tubes measuring 2.5 x 2.5 x 2.5 meters. By lighting this structure over time with the colours in which it was painted, individual parts of it were intended to become “invisible”. The dimensions of space and time were made tangible by the artist. In this catalogue produced for trigon 67, entitled Theorie einer Möglichen Gestaltung, Tornquist explains his ideas in detail in the form of a colour chart and by means of definitions (orientation, colour, movement, proportion) and possible applications (means, colour, proportion).
