"Variable dimensions" is a descriptive term commonly used in captions of artworks, especially in the field of contemporary art, but rarely used in architecture, where dimensions are used for construction and hence naturally pre-defined. This exhibit suggested a fresh look on this difference and reinvented dialogues around the relationship between artists and architecture.
Organized by core subjects, it covered topics such as the relationship between contemporary cities and architecture, the virtualization of urban social relations, different aspects of living and discussions on the home and domestic space, architectural and modernist utopias, and works that are directly related to ideas of scale, size and measuring instruments and systems. It showcased historical and contemporary works by artists whose artwork promotes the discussion on topics that expand or narrow the relationship between art and architecture.
