Lisbon hosts Peter Zumthor Exhibition and Lecture

Posted by Adriana Soto

06.09.2008 - 02.11.2008 An Experimentadesign Initiative The first main exhibition of the emblematic Swiss architect Peter Zumthor comes to Portugal. Stretching over almost 2000 m2 in LX Factory, an emerging cultural space in Lisbon, it takes place from September 7 to November 2, 2008. Unique in its breadth and depth, it represents a milestone in the author's career and the study of contemporary architecture. The largest and most comprehensive exhibition ever devoted to Peter Zumthor's work, it features 29 projects, 6 large-scale models, an impressive document collection and a life-size video installation of 12 buildings by the artists Nicole Six and Paul Petritsch. In this installation 6 screens show 6 perspectives of a building for 40 minutes, recreating the experience of Zumthor's architecture in an intense and enveloping atmosphere. Peter Zumthor - Buildings and Projects 1986-2007 is produced by and presented in association with Kunsthaus Bregenz where it was first shown in September 2007. To mark this presentation, Peter Zumthor delivers a lecture on September 6, in the Aula Magna of Reitoria de Lisboa. A rare opportunity to become acquainted with the author's conceptual process. Pioneering a singular relationship between architectural space and time, Zumthor's work sets the tone for the reflection around the theme: 'It's About Time'. The Warm Up ExperimentaDesign Lisboa 2009 represents the Biennale's first moment of communication and anticipation, providing the public with an introduction to the theme and an approach to its core protagonists and events.
