“This exhibition – throughout 6018North’s house – draws from Rem Koolhaas’s The Elements of Architecture exhibition for the 2014 Venice Architectural Biennale. The architect presented what he considers the fundamentals of buildings: the floor, wall, ceiling, facade, balcony, corridor, door, toilet, stair, et cetera to analyze the components of architecture. However, he claimed to exclude design and art from the analysis. This exhibition looks at the same elements but through artists’ eyes and presents how artists approach the architectural elements of floor, wall, ceiling, door, toilet, et cetera.
Participating artists include Teresa Albor, Deborah Boardman, Coppice, First Office, Lise Haller Baggersen with Jason Pallas, Jane Georges, Vlatka Horvat, Jennifer Karmin, Nance Klehm, Jason Lazarus, Luftwerk, Dana Major, Sarah Mallin, Kathleen McCarthy, Alyssa Moxley, CV Peterson, Jesus and Ruth, Bryan Saner with Francis Garcia, Emilia Vidal-Hallet, Moises Salazar and Devonte Washington, Jessie Schlesinger, Amanda Williams, Yann Vanderme, and Rodrigo Lara Zendejas and others.”
