EXHIBITION

Techne, n : A convergence between art, craftsmanship and architecture

Den Frie, 06/21/2014 - 08/03/2014

ABOUT

Within the five perimeter rooms of Den Frie, five teams of artists and architects will create new projects unique to each space. These projects will be developed as collaborative responses that melds two similar yet distinct fields of inquiry, in which art and architecture mediates a single body of work in considered response to the space it inhabits. Varying in scale, material, colour, texture, and technique, these works define the space with the personal imprints of their makers, standing as architectural artefacts or fragments that recall the sociologist Henri Lefebrve’s notion of space as a purely humanistic one, where objects we encounter confirm our presence to an ever-exchanging, living world. An adjacent exhibit will document each team’s approaches, processes, and means of making. The breadth of this exhibition will span from textiles to ceramics, from the hand-made to the machine-made, and from art to architecture.
