Villio Celli - Cruise Missile
July 8, 1986
“The wall, made of gyproc and wood, is a stoic, if somewhat precarious reminder of architecture as habitation, as morality.”
“The arches, as symbols of peace, are in conflict and yet coexist with the 7 ft missiles that loom menacingly behind them.”
“They embody the contradictory politics of Reagan’s ‘peace through power’ philosophy.”
“Celli presents a piece in which structure and content are one, and in which political intent and comment coincide with the aesthetic.”
