8 mins confidence:
one-off works/pieces Explanation: I think this would be a good possibility. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 mins (2007-03-16 13:06:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Or perhaps "stand-alone". The text is trying to contrast the idea of making "one-off/stand-alone" pieces with a more holistic idea, where every piece is connected, etc. Yep, it's artspeak. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 mins (2007-03-16 13:07:34 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Ah, sorry, that would be "standalone", no hyphen. |

15 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): +2
peer agreement (net): +2independent, individual works Explanation: I think the meaning here is this one, from D.R.A.E.: 3. adj. Aislado, independiente. Columna exenta. I thought "freestanding" at first, too, which is the usual translation in architecture, but it doesn't seem to fit the overall text (at least the part you've posted)--I get the idea of separate, individual, independent (which goes with the "isolated" that follows) vs. trying to "enlazar todo con todo", as your text goes on to say. |
