The focus on demolition in Aglaia Konrad's exhibition confronts us with
a figurative, circular need for renewal in the urban fabric, which on a
suprapersonal level reminds us of the violence of war.
The “hygienic” process of demolition is a logistical, highly specialised
organisation of removal and disorganisation of materials in order to
clear
the space of economically exchangeable obstacles.
A series of conversations, based on aspects related to the exhibition,
are planned on the following dates and times.
