The exhibition is being presented in an architectural masterpiece, which is strongly rooted in the city’s history and will be reopening to the public for the first time for many years: The Roundhouse. At the heart of this remarkable edifice, within its singular space, the show creates an intimate dialogue between original productions and pre-existent works. A selection of the on- site pieces, conceived and produced specifically for this event by guest artists – Wilfrid Almendra, Thomas Teurlai and the Floating Museum collective – in dialogue with the architectural envelope that surrounds them, distinguish themselves by providing a support, or a frame, for the works of other artists, while being artworks themselves.
