"Gets Under the Skin part II" Screening
Storefront for Art and Architecture
This event has ended.
Modernist architecture has been a strong, recurring theme in contemporary art. Way after its rise and fall, it still seems to bug artists, both as art and as social program: it provokes mixed feelings of fascination, nostalgia, rejection and disillusionment. Gets Under the Skin offers a selection of critical responses to the ideas and products of modernist architecture that neither buy the recent "grand narrative" of its wholesale failure nor join the uncritical celebration and fetishization of its masterpieces.
