During the summer, surprising uses of space and subversive artistic strategies examining the shape and significance of public spaces will be shown at Villa Merkel. The focus is on visions and dreams that involve very different possibilities for the design of public cohabitation. It is about sustainability and the perspectives about how the individual can and should act in the public realm, and Good Space presents models, videos and designs that are regarded as concretizations of procedural disputes.
With 'Everything is Architecture: Bau Magazine from the 60s and 70s', an exhibition at the ICA in London in 2015 has been integrated into this exhibition, focusing on historical preconditions of utopian architectural and spatial concepts of the 1960s and 1970s. In addition to original copies of the architecture magazine Bau, approaches are presented by Coop Himmelb(l)au and the group Haus-Rucker-Co., founded in Vienna, that have been working since 1967/68 on radically different concepts of architecture.PUBLIARQ.COM
