TREASURE CHEST

this page is a construction zone - sorry !
Many of the links are outdated - pictures are missing etc.
we are working on it!

VISIONARY ENVIRONMENTS - a wikipedia entry with tons of links to extensive/large-scale artistic installations (buildings, sculpture parks, etc) intended to capture intense subjective/personal experiences (dreams, fantasies, obsessions,etc) of their creators.

This is a detail from Ferdinad Cheval Le Palais Idéal.

This page is a collection of links in random order. While at one point we thought we would be able to bring order to this chaos, we no longer harbor any illusions that we can do so. Instead, we just add more stuff as it comes. Rummage through it like on a TREASURE HUNT.
