  • The Fourth Wall

    Exhibition

    Clemens von Wedemeyer’s film installations investigate the uncertain distinction between fact and fiction.

  • Heather and Ivan Morison: I am so sorry. Goodbye

    Exhibition

    19 Jun 2009 to 18 Oct 2009

    I am so sorry. Goodbye explores the relationship between the built environment and nature. The double-domed pavilion takes its inspiration from the structures built by utopian communities in the west coast of the US in the 1970s. Designed as a tea house, I am so sorry. Goodbye provides a place of rest and shelter, where one is served hibiscus tea, a beverage popular in various parts of the world and thought to have medicinal properties. A transparent dome at the top of the structure alludes to a spaceship or futuristic aircraft, a vehicle which might transport one away from a time or place of catastrophe.
