Summary: | The thoughts and theories of the artist Mathias Goeritz, one of the most interesting architects and artists of second half of century XX. He traveled to Mexico in 1949 where he remained until his death in 1990. In Mexico he developed an original and controversial art and theoretical work that was a precursor to minimal art and body art. He was involved in concrete poetry and constructed what now are emblematic pieces of architecture. The publication was designed to help celebrate teh 50th anniversary of his most noted architectural work, the "Torres de Satélite". Most of these texts were originally published in the journal "Arquitectura México", while the rest have been reprinted in other specialized publications or are inedited.
