While many architects are inspired by art and sometimes use it to explain their work, Artists explore the language of architecture attempts to re-think architecture through two fundamental categories: space and time. Artists employ architectural works to create and develop their own intellectual constructs. This exhibition, curated by Felicity Lunn, explores modes of perception and the constructive projections inherent in visual arts. Mirroring architecture, human beings often feel cut off from the outside world while being its inside and outside. Yet they are neither one nor the other. They are in between, in a zone of exchange, in which linguistic and architectural conventions function as a metaphor for pretended introspection, projecting the viewer’s eye towards the eye of the others.
