ok, so on the way back from picking up scw from guadaljara (sp!!) we heard an interesting piece on wuky- a show called studio 360- the discussion was about frames- the first segment was about the use of frames in fiction writing- one outer story frames one or more inner stories to give context, etc- the tales of the arabian nights was given as an example- this discussion sequed into a phone interview with architect frank gehry- who first talked of the time he read all of trollope's works in one frenzied series- and how he felt that trollope's works framed the 18th and 19th centuries- he went on to discuss buildings as frames- and how bilbao is a frame for the local culture- and how he is designing a new room for a client who recentlt bought a rubens at auction and wants a room designed to frame the work- the owner wants not only the frame the work came with, but also other frames used in the past included in some way in the room design- quite an interesting discussion- we sat int he garage for quite some time listening to f. gehry- i cannot wait to see bilbao after hearing the architect tell of it's conception as nothing short of a miracle.....
