ArchiSculpture
28 October, 2005 - 26 February, 2006
The relationship between architecture and sculpture is one of the most exciting artistic phenomena in the 20th century. Since its birth in the late 19th century, modern sculpture has absorbed key influences from architecture, while contemporary architecture has developed in such sculptural terms that some of the trends look like built versions of modern sculpture. ArchiSculpture examines many aspects of the close, reciprocal relationship between architecture and sculpture. The exhibition is based on a selection of some 180 works of art, models and photographs by the most influential artists and architects contributing to this dialogue between two disciplines.
