Scope and Content
From the Collection:
The collection consists of a melange of materials accumulated from Hocks' primarily architectural interests and travels. A large portion of the collection focuses on Barcelona and its architects, past and contemporary. Materials are in the form of photographs and collages of famous architectural monuments, streetscenes, and building interiors in Barcelona ca. 1992, featuring the work of such important architects and artists as Mario Botta, Ricardo Bofill, Lu's Domenech i Montaner, Cristian Cirici, Ramõn Llull, Antonio Tapies, Mies van der Rohe, and Pablo Picasso. Hocks was in Barcelona when the decision was announced to hold the 1992 Olympics there. She photographed the rejoicing from a nearby roof; some of those photos are included in the collection.
The collection also includes Paula Hocks' artists' books, Ariadne's Thread and Perspectives, and several smaller books such as Gazebo, andMania: A Fable of Chairs. Other projects represented in the collection are her Santa Fe Columns project, material for Architectural Moments, an audiocassette, "Ariadne's Thread and Others," as well as two videocassettes about Antonio Gaudi and miscellaneous articles, flyers, and announcements.
Materials were added to this collection in August 2004, most of which pertain to Hocks' Bomarzo project. Hocks described her Bomarzo project as "a comprehensive collection of photographs and study materials discussing and illustrating the Sacro Bosco (Sacred Park) in terms of art, architecture, landscape architecture, art history and literature." Items included in this addition include photographs, publications, reference and study materials, publicity/press, and audio cassettes. A significant quantity of framed photographs, prints, artist's books and related materials will be found at the Jonson Gallery, University of New Mexico. The Non-Bomarzo materials include audio recordings of Hocks and publicity and posters for various projects.
