Baukunst's many interdisciplinary collaborations since its foundation illustrate a dialogical approach to the project development process that places architecture at the crossroads of art and science. As it bears witness to the importance of this position, the Performance & Performativity exhibition is designed to present the many supporting links and collaborations of a production that is resolutely open to contemporary practices and challenges. Moving models, photographs, videos and various installations illustrate the production of BAUKUNST and immerse us in its singular world of artistic, philosophical and technical references.Ed.: Adrien Verschuere, Roxane Le Grelle, Iwan Strauven. In collaboration with Lara Molino Text: Jacques Lafitte, Lynn Margulis, Dorion Sagan, Adrien Verschuere in conversation with Hans Ulrich Obrist

Kuri gathers his resources from a variety of sites before combining them in a manner that draws upon tradition of assemblage with a nod to Surrealist montage. The cataloge shows, amongst others, new pieces produced for the exhibition, revealing both the diversity of Kuri's formal approach and the consistency of his underlying themes: notions of commercial and cultural value, consumerism, as well as material and its poetic (mis)use.Text: Cathleen Chaffee, Brian Dillon, Zoë Gray, Dirk Snauwaert

The catalogue traces the evolution of Posenenske's practice from early experiments with mark making to transitional aluminum wall reliefs to industrially fabricated modular sculptures, which are produced in unlimited series and assembled or arranged by consumers at will. Posenenske exhibited widely during the brief period [1956-68] that she was active as an artist, alongside peers such as Hanne Darboven, Donald Judd, and Sol LeWitt. Her work is distinguished by its radically open-ended nature: she used permutation and contingency as playful conceptual devices to oppose compositional hierarchy and invite the public to collaborate by reconfiguring her variable sculptures. Embracing reductive geometry, repetition, and industrial fabrication, she developed a form of mass-produced Minimalism that addressed the pressing socioeconomic concerns of the 1960s by circumventing the art market and rejecting established formal and cultural hierarchies.

The realm of the imaginary, which has always been regarded as the primal domain of art, has expanded progressively under the influence of new technologies in the early years of the twenty-first century. Through a process of mutual interaction, the imaginary permeates and shapes reality-and vice versa. The imaginary potential of the visual image has become increasingly significant. This ongoing process is designated by the concept of the image. The works presented in this exhibition explore the image at the moment of its fundamental reconfiguration. Changes affecting the origin, distribution, function, and mission of the image have made it both the point of departure and the principal object of artistic analysis.The artists featured in this exhibition respond to the permanent transformation and free circulation of images with a gesture of focused attention. Existing images are reformatted without concern for their materiality. Rhythmic delays are employed for the purpose of exploring the imaginary potential of images as well as the feedback of the real that is discernible in them. Freed from the yoke of hierarchies, all images are equal, interchangeable and placeless. They are a pure medium of reflection.Text: Alex Kitnick, Susanne Pfeffer, Seth Price, D.N. Rodowick
