Archistories. Architecture in Art

Today, 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 and catalogue bring 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.
