The Swiss' obsession for order

“Chaos was the law of nature; Order was the dream of man.”
Henry Adams


Only in Switzerland will you bump into an artist like Mr. Wehrli, a Swiss artist who likes to put things in order and is on a crusade to tidy up art. His vision is a cleaner, more organized, tidier form of art. He is the author of Tidying Up Art, a visionary manifesto that yearns toward a more rational, more organized and cleaner form of modern art.

My guess is that it is an intriguing way to produce art and fun to watch as long as Mr. Wehrli does not lose his sense of humour.





Watch Mr.Wehrli presenting his concept  with a good dose of humour: http://www.ted.com/talks/ursus_wehrli_tidies_up_art.html
