Ian Jehle ( Canada ), Mario Ego-Aguirre
Ian Jehle is curating an exhibition titled: Lumber: the allure and the aesthetics of construction. The exhibition focuses on artistic practices that utilize the language and aesthetics of construction in ways that speak to the strange allure that buildings under construction have over us. Themes in the exhibition include: construction as language, construction as story, and construction as the embodiment of our social and political worldview. The exhibition will be accompanied by a catalog essay about the larger philosophical and social themes that underlie how we experience “new” and “renovated” buildings including the meanings of concepts such as: improvement, community, and personal well-being.
The exhibition will be presented during Berlin Art Week - 13-17 September, 2023
