The makers of a successful portable mining toilet expect to roll out a slew of new fibreglass products and create more jobs once they move into an expanded shop this fall. In Badajoz, on the site of a seventeenth-century bullring within a pentagonal rampart, Jose Selgas and Lucia Cano designed a Congress Centre as a cylindrical volume surrounded by a stack of fibreglass rings. In the green patch outside the lobby, Kenyan artist Kioko's one-legged metal sculptures stood defiantly, one with an imitation bomb strapped to its chest (see photo above), and inside Gakunju Kaigwa's stunningly beautiful resin, fibreglass and steel sculpture of a cripple on crutches, entitled "Shattered but Not Broken", welcomed all delegates (see photo on page 57). |
