Abstraction & Architecture is an Abstract Room Project, curated by the Abstract Room curatorial team, that explores the fruitful relationship between Contemporary Abstraction and Architecture.

The project offers four curatorial angles:

  • Symbolism showcases works that reflect on the symbolic dimension of architecture.
  • Tools & Materials examines the use of tools and materials that come from the architectural and construction world.
  • Topography is dedicated to the conversion of architectural elements into artworks, according to the literal meaning of the word abstraction (an extraction from reality).
  • Mutations presents artworks that are directly performed on or with architectural elements.

The first leg of the project covered the Symbolism and Tools & Materials sections and took place in Strasbourg in the Fall 2018, at the Zenith in September and at the University of Strasbourg in October.

Abstraction & Architecture participating artists are (leg 1):

The second leg of the project is currently under development.
