Indepth Arts News:
"Urban Decline"
2002-07-19 until 2002-08-08
Abel Raum fuer Neue Kunst
Berlin, ,
DE Germany
Alekos Hofstetter’s new works set about deconstructing the ever quicker process of the outdating of modern architecture, the uniformity of the built environement and the decay of urban systems in the era of globalization.
The pictures in the new series portray scenarios of collapsing, exploding or delapidated architecture symbols of the power of capital, knowledge and states. Through their destructiveness the paintings create a uniformed, synthetic and universal reality.
It is in this way that he attempts to critisise the extremity of a society in a frenzy of constant renewal and obsessive consumption through the use of society’s own‚ reality producing’ means.
The exibition intents to contextualise Hofstetter's visions and the aestetic and urban demands of the architects interviewed in the book 02F40.
