Triggering Reality : New Conditions for Art and Architecture in the Netherlands

Atelier Van Lieshout, Boundary Umlimited, DUS Architects, Haas & Hahn, Nicoline van Harskamp, Anne Holtrop and Bas Princen, Wouter Klein Velderman, Krijn de Koning, NIO Architects and Onix: the artists and architects in this catalogue of the eponymous exhibition in the Centro per l’arte contemporanea Luigi Pecci in Prato seek a direct relationship with reality, investigating and reproducing it, representing and criticizing it.Their approach is increasingly trans-disciplinary: architects utilize media and supports typical of the arts, while artists investigate urban realities in three-dimensional architectural installations.
