La mostra Beton alla Kunsthalle di Vienna

Abstract

Public has had the opportunity to grasp the success of concrete within the contemporary art world thanks to Beton, an exhibition held at the Kunsthalle in Vienna (June 25 - November 6, 2016) curated by Vanessa Joan Müller and Nicolaus Schafhausen. A thoughtful selection of works allowed curators to highlight the cultural significance of the material in the construction of social and Brutalist architectures. The exhibition proved to be a critical assessment of concrete, redeeming brutalist architectures from oblivion and inviting to save them from physical ruin.
