BIOSCAPES

The works in this exhibition engage architecture understood in its most liberal sense—as the organization of spaces and times. Here, architecture pertains to the built environment: the roads and highways, the urban landscape, the informal settlements, the vending contraptions, the metropolitan centers and the countryside, the malls, the cities and towns, but it also alludes to intangible environments that govern movements of bodies in physical and virtual spaces, in institutional and pedagogical fields, in the ecologies of art, etc., etc. Whereas classical mechanics see space and time as non-subjective, material, components of the world, contemporary thought teaches us otherwise that they are more than just that. They are manifestations and expressions of certain worlds, ripe with contestations, mediations, meanings, and values. In the first place, the organization of spaces and times, i.e. architecture, revolves around certain conceptions and notions of the body, which is to say that architecture is in fact juridical of the body by default. It articulates as much as it entraps, it enlivens as much as it entombs, it regulates as much as it frees, and sometimes it empowers as much as it subjects the body to social control. Architecture, in other words, shows us that the body is a space-time for and of mediations and contestations. Architecture compels us to resist.

Dainty. Floral. Romantic. Fun.Fifty years ago, at the high-water mark of steel and glass modernism, those adjectives described architectural no-no's. You didn't decorate a building. You stripped it of ornament (or at least you made it look that way). You didn't speak of beauty, which sounded old-fas...
