Event details
Automatic Cities: The Architectural Imaginary in Contemporary Art at Sherwood Auditorium at MCASD
Automatic Cities is the first major exhibition to assert and explore the concept of an "architectural imaginary" in contemporary art. The term refers to architecture in the broadest sense, comprising images of sites and cities built and unbuilt, rising from collective experience and imagination. The influence of the architectural imaginary on the visual arts will be mapped in an international context, setting work by prominent, architecturally engaged artists in dialogue with that by emerging practitioners from around the globe.
The exhibition includes new, site-responsive works by 11 artists and one artists' collective hailing from around the globe: Michael Borremans (Belgium) , Matthew Buckingham (U.S.), Los Carpinteros (Cuba), Catharina van Eetvelde (France, born Belgium), Julie Mehretu (U.S., born Ethiopia), Paul Noble (U.K.), Sarah Oppenheimer (U.S.), Matthew Richie (U.K.), Hiraki Sawa (Japan), Katrin Sigurdardottir (Iceland), Rachel Whiteread (U.K.), and Saskia Olde Wolbers (Netherlands).
