BASUHAUS

 

Sam Basu 2007

In BASUHAUS, craft, design and architecture are all considered worthy of revolution. BASUHAUS is a total artwork where no element of the environment is left unconsidered. Rather than a pervading atmosphere of educationalist reform, objects are suffused with sci-fi paranoia. Here historic utopian aims have filtered through the psychodramas of the twentieth century, with traces of the nefarious intruder, the preternatural doppelganger and the shamanic leader. BASUHAUS recalls the vision of 1960s and 1970s science fiction while reusing the materials of a failed industial west.
