Exploring the decay of design and modernist ideals, Modernsim as Ruin looks towards visions of utopia that do not withstand the test of time.

Tracing artistic responses from the ‘70s onwards, the exhibition looks at the nuanced way in which utopian landscapes morphs into a dystopia, but one that becomes the reality of a livable, living space.

Artists include: Yona Friedman, Giuseppe Gabellone, Cyprien Gaillard, Isa Genzken, Dan Graham, Gordon Matta-Clark, Florian Pumhösl, Jeroen de Rijke / Willem de Rooij, Robert Smithson, Rob Voerman and Stephen Willats.Quote_transparent
