Works by contemporary artist Lynda Benglis and Alberto Giacometti are displayed together for the first time in this major new exhibition.
Can a building perform meaning? Can a facade lie, exaggerate, or play?
PLAYFORM reimagines postmodern architecture as performance, taking No.1 Poultry as both as inspiration and stage. At its reception, this building was considered riotous, flamboyant, and controversial. In this exhibition, its bold geometry and layered references become a starting point to explore how architecture can speak, deceive and provoke in unconventional ways.
PLAYFORM is a multidisciplinary exhibition of AV work, sculpture, photography, drawing and sound where artists respond to the theatrical qualities of architectural design. It encourages visitors to co-perform and challenge the perceived permanence of architecture, proposing it instead as dynamic, participatory, and expressive. The exhibition aims to leave the audience questioning not just what buildings are, but what they can do.
Time: Thursday to Sunday between April 24 to May 30
Tickets: Booking is not required
