Theme: Art and Architecture

Architecture into paint


Blaise Drummond and Toby Paterson, two artists who paint but who have consistently shown a fascination with the built environment, conversed recently by e-mail about their work and the ideas that guide them.

The house on the hill
Emma Mahony explores a unique project in Los Angeles by Jorge Pardo, where art and architecture are inseparable.

Tracking the urban animal
Marjetica Potrc, winner of the Guggenheim's prestigious Hugo Boss Award, has been described as an urban anthropologist. Despite a formal architectural training her approach is far from formal and often nonlinear. Here artist Aisling O'Beirn and Potrc discuss various strategies and such diverse issues as gated communities, upgrading of the core unit, technology close to the body and, more recently, urban animals.

The challenge of space
Gemma Tipton considers the architecture of contemporary art museums.

Features

Who owns images: science or art?
We think of artists as masters of the visual, but others may have a better claim. Here James Elkins reports on recent conference at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

House style
Sarah Pierce is the third Artistic Director at Arthouse in as many years. Orla Ryan asks her about her plans to make a difference.

Where prejudices can be dispelled

For CIRCA, Fi—na Kearny has looked at the Tate Modern, the Pompidou Centre, MUHKA in Ghent, and the Museum of Modern Art, New York. She concludes her series on museums of modern art now, with a look at the Moderna Museet in Stockholm.
