ARCH: Considering Made Space
It has been said that architecture may be the ultimate form of art. After all, it is both expressive, informative, and serves as a refuge from the elements. What happens when it becomes the content of other architecture鈥攐f the gallery itself?
ARCH. was a theme last presented at Manifest in 2011, over a decade ago. As a deliberate parallel to our Fourth Wall exhibition of works that challenge the 'frame', ARCH. invited artists, architects, designers, and other makers to share works that in some way explore or feature made space.
For this exhibit we set out to assemble a diverse array of works unified in its consideration of the concept of made space, but intriguing due to the ways in which different artists address the subject, and for what is revealed about how humans alter and address space as a medium of life.
For this exhibit 53 artists submitted 200 works from 21 states, Washington D.C., and 3 countries, including Romania, Sweden, and the United States. Ten works by the following 8 artists from 6 states were selected by a blind jury process for presentation in the gallery and the Manifest Exhibition Annual publication.
