Description
Book SynopsisToday, artists set about a contemplation of architecture with a heightened ecological and social interest. Their works often reflect in a playful and humorous way as they scrutinize living spaces and lifestyles. The exhibition publication brings together around 100 works from five centuries: Paintings, drawings, photographs, and sculptures from the collection are juxtaposed with video works and installations by contemporary artists. They deal with architecture as anthropological self-description, as a stage or an archive of social, economic and political conditions, collective and individual history, and utopias. Architecture reflected in art from 17th to 21st century Exhibition, Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe, planned for the beginning of 2025 Artists among others: Franz Ackermann, Robert Delaunay, Otto Dix, Lyonel Feininger, Günther Förg, Vincent van Gogh, Alexander Kanoldt, Karl Hubbuch, Brabara Klemm, Dionisio González, Niclas Goldbach, Axel Lieber, Julia Oschatz, Judith Hopf, Isa Melsheimer, Nicolas Daubanes, Alain Delorme, Rebecca Ann Tess, Stephen Craig, Samuel Beckett und Henrique Oliveira, Giovanni Battista Piranesi, Sean Scully
