This exhibition explores the long life of late modernism in the field of architecture by bringing together a series of works created over the last decade by Shannon Bool, Kapwani Kiwanga, Rachel Rose, and Jonathan Schouela, a new film installation by David Hartt, as well as works by Lynne Cohenand François Dallegret produced in the 1960s and 1970s.
While the earlier artworks offer a contrasting yet representative view of some important tendencies at the time, the more recent productions make use of historical hindsight to renew the critical discourse on late modernism. To this end, they employ various methodologies such as archival research, site-specific interventions, a revival of traditional techniques or (neo)modernist strategies, speculative fiction, and autoethnography.
