The <i>Architectures/Dessins/Utopies</i> exhibition presents drawings (collages, drawn interventions) pertaining to
architecture by visual artists and drawings by architects that go beyond architecture <i>stricto sensu</i>. It will be
on display at the National Museum of Contemporary Art Bucharest from January to April 2011 and relies on a selection of
works, rarely or never shown before, from the prestigious French state collection, the Fonds National d'Art
Contemporain/Centre National des Arts Plastiques.<br>
<br>
Architecture is envisaged as a central theme, a protagonist, resembling concrete or imaginary iconography in the
artistic process of many contemporary artists. Artists are using architecture as a framework: scenographical,
philosophical, socio-anthropological and symbolic, to point out contradictions of contemporary life, to focus on
psychological and behavioural knowledge, on urban culture and civilization with all the vast and complex issues of
today's megacities. Architecture is perceived and metonymically acts as an evolving parameter of development or, on the
contrary, as a sensor for alienation, high anxiety caused by globalisation, excessive economic growth, recession, social
disparity and political conflicts. It connects, on the one hand, to the de-humanisation of inhabitable spaces, to the
proliferation of surveillance, of restrictive/oppressive enclosures, of inclusion/seclusion (through physical, mental or
symbolic barriers). But on the other hand, to the potential of making living spaces more harmonious and ethically
bearable, to transform the natural landscape, to create openings and enrich spaces, gaining utopian dimensions,
becoming, ultimately, a metaphor for human life.<br>
<br>
Drawing turns out to be a concrete investigative tool to structure factual reality and to lead towards real
architectural propositions. But also a playful tool for shaping the imaginary and the utopian, suggesting a fictional
order where weightlessness, newly created metaphysical armony, the expansion of space and the abolition of time are
possible. <br>
<br>
Drawing allows both elaboration and improvisation. As if through the sketch—in the cognitive visual process—a kind
of a Zen like state of "awaking consciousness" is maintained.<br>
<br>
The exhibition is accompanied by the no. 8 issue of Cahiers de la Creation Contemporaine / CNAP / Paris.<br>
