Brussels-based collective Rotor curates OMA exhibition in London
Until February 19, 2012 the Barbican Art Gallery will be showing a major exhibition on the very influential architectural practice OMA.
The exhibition OMA / Progress is guest curated by the Brussels-based collective Rotor, who were behind the much praised Belgian Pavilion at the 2010 Venice Architecture Biennale. With unprecedented access to OMA’s archives and daily practice, Rotor has selected and arranged a wide range of materials, relics, documentation, imagery and models yielding fresh perspectives on OMA’s built and yet-to-be built projects and conceptual work.
Rotor comments: ‘Our ambition is to make a portrait of OMA without expecting consistency. What we try to do is reach beyond polemics to create a space where nuance is possible’.
