Re-Enactment: Lilly Reich's Work Occupies the Barcelona Pavilion
Until 22 March
Mies van der Rohe Pavilion, Barcelona
|
|
Re-enactment is an artistic installation by Laura Martínez de Guereñu, professor in the Bachelor in Architectural Studies and recipient of the first Lilly Reich Grant for Equality in Architecture. The purpose of the grant is to increase the visibility and contributions to architecture by those unduly forgotten or who may have suffered discrimination.
The current exhibition transforms the space through the reconstruction of two of the display-cases Lilly Reich originally designed for the 1929 International Exposition. Documents from another dozen of archives and private collections and two short films grant visitors an unprecedented look at history.
