Eccentric_Spaces
The Artist Room presents Eccentric Spaces, a group exhibition including works by Leonard Baby, Anderson Borba, William Brickel, Eiko Gröschl, Justin Rui Han, Martin Kippenberger, Graham Little, Iva Lulashi, Fleur Patrick and Francesco Pirazzi. This exhibition takes its name from Eccentric Spaces (1977), a celebrated publication by architecture critic Robert Harbison (1940-2021) that explored how spaces from historical to present – gardens, rooms, buildings, streets, museums, maps, fictional topographies, and architectures – can be more interestingly understood in terms of the sensitive and real ways that humans create, occupy, change, and abandon them. What interested Harbison was not necessarily the new, but the unique way in which interior and exterior spaces change in appearance, motive, use and cognition over time; how spaces are often the products of many different periods and movements simultaneously.
