Contemporary Art About Architecture

Contemporary Art About Architecture is the first to take up its topic in a sustained and explicit manner and the first to advance the idea that contemporary art increasingly functions as a form of architectural history, theory and analysis. It examines a diverse group of artists - including Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle, Matthew Barney, Monika Sosnowska, Pipo Nguyen-duy, Paul Pfeiffer and Mies van der Rohe - in conjunction with the vernacular, canonical, and fantastical structures engaged by their work.
