Junya Ishigami, Freeing Architecture
30.03.2018 - 09.09.2018

In response to its resounding public success, the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain is pleased to announce the extension of the exhibition Junya Ishigami, Freeing Architecture until September 9, 2018, before it travels overseas!

The extension of the exhibition, the first of this scale devoted to the Japanese architect, awarded the Golden Lion at the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2010, allows visitors to discover or rediscover his delicate, dreamlike universe through a series of large-scale models, films and drawings, documenting the different stages of his creative process.

For the exhibition Freeing Architecture, conceived specifically for the Fondation Cartier, Ishigami re- veals twenty of his architectural projects in Asia and in Europe. These projects will be presented through a series of large-scale models, accompanied by films and drawings, which document their different stages of conception and construction. In dialogue with Jean Nouvel’s iconic building, this event is also the first large-scale solo-show that the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain has devoted to an architect.
