+ | '''Derivatives: Origins in Geometry''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | MADI is a movement founded by Carmelo Arden Quin. During the 1940’s Arden | ||
+ | |||
+ | Quin joined intellectual writers and artists in Buenos Aires . In 1944, | ||
+ | |||
+ | after working on it for several years, he brought out the literary and | ||
+ | |||
+ | artistic journal Arturo, in which he applied dialectic materialism of | ||
+ | |||
+ | art. He also contributed his prose proem Pegasus Eats Grass in Chaos, | ||
+ | |||
+ | which refers (secretly due to censorship) to the horrors of World War II. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In August of 1946 Arden Quin read to the public the MADI Manifesto, | ||
+ | |||
+ | which he had written, and which launched the MADI movement. He | ||
+ | |||
+ | began experimenting with curved wood, alternating convex and concave | ||
+ | |||
+ | forms, which he called “form galbee” and irregular shapes. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The MADI Movement continues today through original artists from the movement | ||
+ | |||

Located in the former Texas School Book Depository, now the Dallas County Administration building, the Sixth Floor is Dallas' "official" John F. Kennedy museum. You can look down upon the actual route the motorcade was taking when Lee Harvey Oswald fired upon the motorcade from the window on the 6th floor. The nonprofit, self-supporting facility is dedicated to "the life, times, death and legacy of JFK" — not just the assassination.
