"Building Pictures" Exhibition in Chicago

Featuring work by: Dionisio Gonzalez, Terence Gower, Luisa Lambri, Chris Mottalini, Bas Princen, Thomas Ruff and Josef Shulz

In April 2008 the MoCP opens Building Pictures, a group exhibition that explores connections between architecture and photography, from methods of spatial representation to the relationships between the real and virtual worlds in each discipline. It examines the responses of artists to the ideals of modern design and explores the connections between the immersive natures of both photography and architecture and the networks of spatial relationships on which they depend. Topics addressed include architecture as idealized space, the idea of progress and the perceived failure of the utopian ideals of modernism.
