VIRTUAL BRUTALISM

Expo
August 17 - 21
7pm - 10 pm daily


60 years ago, a provocative architectural style emerged in Europe. Le Corbusier's "béton brut" is usually regarded as the seminal notion of this raw and rugged aesthetic. British architectural critic Reyner Banham adapted the term into "brutalism" in 1956.

In the meantime, construction has extended beyond the realm of concrete and found new ways to challenge taste and perception. VIRTUAL BRUTALISM presents digital architecture, procedural screen art, in-game photography and new modes of rawness which might or might not have been inspired by brutalist architecture.

Please note that no works considered brutal (as in violent) will be displayed during this exhibition. Admission is free at all times.
