Rodchenko
I found the passage about flat space being more spacious than a voloumous body. This is interesting in that logically the converse would seem to be true. However, when you look at Rodchenko's work, the planes appear to extend out beyond the physical space of the sculpture, where as a volomous body rounds back around to itself. The idea of mobiles lighted by spotlights reminds me of a sculpture I saw in Tate National Gallery in london, where the remenents of an explosion are hung around a lightbulb, and create these shadows that seem more importnat than the mobile itself.
