@ Fran Cottell & Terry Watts
A corridor, so narrow that strangers brush shoulders; a platform through a densely inhabited house, changing the relationship between inhabitant and visitor; a room reshaped through a graphic pattern; a space under a motorway, sloped in a way that it is rendered useless for those who need it most.
These are four of twenty projects investigating how geometric aspects of space such as size, shape or relative position of figures are perceived and influence behavior, not in an abstract but very real sense. This exhibition, curated by Marianne Mueller and Olaf Kneer, features the work of artists, architects and designers from Europe, Japan, Brazil, Venezuela, Canada and the USA, who are exploring the subject through projects and texts.
With work by Atelier Tekuto, Adrian Blackwell + Jane Hutton, Anthony Coleman, BARarchitekten, Barkow Leibinger, Bettina Gerhold, Brandlhuber + ERA Emde Schneider, Christine Rusche, Easton Combs, Fran Cottell, Graziela Kunsch & Rafi Segal, IwamotoScott, Jaime Gili, Kai Schiemenz, Lukas Einsele, Studio Elmo Vermijs, Susanne Hofmann / Die Baupiloten, SMAQ, SPAN Architecture & Design and Vincent Wittenberg.
The exhibition also contains a site specific intervention developed by British artist Fran Cottell, reclaiming the Front Member's Room as a space for debate and exchange.
The event will be accompanied by a series of events (to be confirmed).
