Babylon (Domazlice) 13-08-1965. Travel sketch.

For the exhibition Nieuw Beelden at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam in 1965, Constant and (Nic) Tummers developed the construction T-T √2 circuit. The circuit is designed as a climbing frame for adults that sparks man’s slumbering creativity, or at least their playfulness. The T-T√2 circuit was provided with a set of directions for the installation. Amongst other things, it stated that the entrance and exit were the same in order to "encourage collisions."

Circa 1965

Sectors are named after Spanish Flamenco dances: Caña, Malagueña, Soleares, Alegría, Fandango, Sevillana, Siguiriyas, Tarantos. The Triana-Group is a still existing Flamenco group in Seville.

Niño Ricardo (11 July 1904 – 14 April 1972), born as Manuel Serrapí, was a Flamenco composer, considered by some sources as the most accomplished flamenco player of his day. He played a significant part in the evolution of the flamenco guitar. He lived in the city center of Sevilla. A child guitar prodigy, his early audiences referred to him as the son of Ricardo, leading to his stage-name Niño (de) Ricardo.
