Painter Blends Art, Domes
By DAVID MARCUS
itings on the surfaces of
ic domes represent a trend
d the integration of art and
nment, Prof. Geroie Kam-
i of the Architecture and
i . school, said.
ired by the work of R. Buck-
er Fuller,. Prof. Kamrowski
as an exhibition of his work
ese fabricated metal domes
University Art Museum and
ne at a New York gallery last
. Fuller has initiated work
nilar projects.
"There has been very little col-
laboration between modern art
and modern architecture," Pros.
Kamrowski asserted.
"There is a movement now to-
ward environmental art. People
have come to learn that you can
live with modern art; there is no
need to be remote from it.
"They've seen possibilities in
such things as the way they .use
screens in the Orient."
Dome as Art.
Commenting on his use of the
dome as an artistic medium, Prof.
Kamrowski said, "A dome offers
so much of an artistic possibility
because of the tremendous amount
of open space.
"Some of the domes can cover
a sports stadium.,
"Also, the dome is really some-
thing of a spiritual and a univer-
sal form. St. Paul's in London is
one; St. 'Peter's in Rome is one;
the Taj Mahal is one. In India,
some caves have been carved into
the shape of domes.
"Today, a ceiling is simply a bar-
rier between two social strata. A
dome could be used in modern
architecture in bedrooms perhaps
or as a room for meditation."
Integration Fails
Noting the failure of such in-
tegration he said, "A lot of people
didn't want to take the chance
and others were simply unaware
of the possibilities.
"Today, a number of corpora-
tions and banks are incorporating
a lot of art into their modern
buildings. Business, especially in
New York, has to a degree accepted
art as a part of their environ-
ment."
He also noted the growing ac-
ceptance of new art forms.
"When the first mobile came
out, people asked 'what do you do
with them?'
Mobiles Common
"Today, these mobiles are com-
mon. You see them in stores and
homes.
There was once a rule against
putting nails in ceilings that ob-
structed their acceptance. "But, if
mobiles are now accepted, why not
hang paintings or a piece of
sculpture or a dome from the
ceiling?"
Prof. Kamrowski also cited the
recent development of walk-
through sculpture.
Hylozoist Work
His own work in the geodesic
domes realizes a concept of art
Prof. Kamrowski terms "hylozo-
ist." This utilizes very heavy tex-
tures and materials such as re-
flecting beads, crushedstone, mar-
ble 'and sand designed to allow,
light to play upon the surface
in a certain manner. Most of the
paintings are in the forms of
triangular panels.
Prof. Kamrowski noted that his
New York exhibition received
great enthusiasm from visiting
Europeans, and foresaw a possi-
bility of the show touring Europe
in the coming year.

To Buy Boiler
Addition of a new $2 million
gas-fired boiler for the heating
plant was approved by the Regents
yesterday, despite the warning by
Regent Donald Thurber of De-
troit, that this "make-shift solu-
tion" was not the best long-range
course of action.
Thurber charged that within 30
years the University would have
"a completely obsolete heating
plant" all at once.
He said the best solution would
be the construction of a new plant
less centrally located than the
present Washington St. building,
but that state funds were not
available for such a project.
. Within a year, the Regents will
compare operating costs of the
new furnace and the two coal-
fired boilers.
