Studio Libeskind was engaged by the organizers to create an exhibition design for the exhibition “Dreams of Freedom. Romanticism in Germany and Russia” that will be at the Tretyakoy Gallery in Moscow and the … in Dresden, Germany, respectively. The design by Architect Daniel Libeskind is a response to the masterpieces of works by the greatest artists of the first quarter of the 19th century: Caspar David Friedrich, Philipp Otto Runge, Johann Overbeck, Alexander Ivanov, Alexei Venetsianov, Orest Kiprensky, Karl Bryullov and others.  A key idea was to create a space that will give a visceral sense of the Romantic…

“Where Architects Live” is an original installation, inspired by leading contemporary architects’ own concepts of the domestic space, conceived as a cultural accompaniment to the Salone del Mobile. The exhibition has been specially devised for the Salone, providing an exclusive glimpse into “rooms” designed by eight of the world’s most respected architects: Shigeru Ban, Mario Bellini, David Chipperfield, Massimiliano and Doriana Fuksas, Zaha Hadid, Marcio Kogan, Daniel Libeskind and Studio Mumbai/Bijoy Jain. The concept underlying the event rests in the conviction that, of all design disciplines, domestic architecture is the most predisposed to evolution and the most suited to experimentation, given its capacity to conjugate architecture and design. We used to see only the work architects do for…

During Design Week Mexico in 2018, an exhibition of international architects was displayed at the Espacio CDMX in Mexico City from March to July 2018. The space is the recently renovated Espacio CDMX, a gallery in the middle of the Chapultepec Park, Mexico City’s most significant park.  Abandoned for over fifteen years, the building has recently been restored and transformed into a gallery and information center for the World Design Capital designation.

The history of architecture includes countless plans and ideas that were never completed. Some were unrealistic or impractical, some limited by social issues of the time, others abandoned to focus on renovating existing buildings. Unfinished buildings, however, still encapsulate the artists’ and architects’ dreams and ideas. This exhibition looks at what became “impossible,” focusing on unfinished architecture in Japan and overseas from the 20th century and beyond. Blueprints and scale models by 40 architects and artists are on show, including Makoto Aida, Tadao Ando, ​​Archigram, ARAKAWA + Madeline GINS, Yakov Chernikhov, Yona Friedman, Sou Fujimoto, Mark Foster Gage, Pierre Jean Giloux,…

EPFL ArtLab’s Thinking Machines. Ramon Llull and the ars combinatoria, is a bold exhibition that draws together scholarly, scientific and artistic modes of enquiry. Through it, we reread the late Middle Ages in the works of Ramon Llull, the outstanding Catalan philosopher and theologian, to explore the ramifications of his thinking in the realms of modern and contemporary art, and computation. The reverberations of Llullian thought on technology, art and culture find their present-day corollary in a pedagogical revolution which has ‘computational thinking’ at its core. This four-month exhibition proposes fresh perspectives on contemporary technologies and their development through the ages under the influence…

On November 6, 2015, Daniel Libeskind discussed memory, creativity and legacy with architectural historian Gillian Darley at the Roca London Gallery. The talk coincided with both the Death and Memory: Soane and the Architecture of Legacy at the Sir John Soane’s Museum and Childhood ReCollections: Memory in Design exhibition at the Roca London Gallery – where Libeskind’s formative memories were being presented. “From early childhood, Libeskind was aware of the void left by the Holocaust, and this childhood experience of death and personal loss found expression in his Jewish Museum in Berlin,” said Roca curator Clare Farrow. “Libeskind sees memory, not in terms…

On October 4th, 2015, the Aarhus School of Architecture celebrated its 50th anniversary. For the Anniversary Exhibition, the school invited important architects from Denmark and abroad to contribute short films, which are displayed in 50 specially made cubes in the school’s exhibition building. Each of the architects who contributed films played crucial roles in the school’s development from an alternative school of architecture to an internationally recognized academic institution, and their cinematic contributions constitute anniversary greetings to the school. The curation of this this exhibition had much more to do with selecting the contributors, not the films that they submitted. 68 architects and firms from all over the world…

Light and the Space of the Void SANDRA GERING INC July 9 – September 12, 2015 SANDRA GERING INC. is pleased to present Light and the Space of the Void , an exhibition curated by architect and author Alexander Gorlin.

Specifically, the exhibition’s focus is on the aspects of ‘light’ and its relationship to ‘void’ in various forms. Although many artists throughout history have…

Beyond the Wall, Netherlands Architecture Institute, 1997 In Beyond the Wall 26.36° the Netherlands Architecture Institute gives a survey of Daniel Libeskind’s work. Special about this Libeskind exhibition is its approach; a survey of Daniel Libeskind’s work exhibited inside a labyrinth designed by the architect especially for the occasion in close collaboration with Cecil Balmond of Ove Arup engineer’s firm.
