If you’re in Berlin, go see this exhibition at Import Projects. I promise it’ll be worth it. Beny Wagner investigates the notion of ‘transparency’ in a project entitled Invisible Measure. Take it away, press release: “From the use of transparent materials in architecture beginning at the turn of the last century, to the political necessity of transparency today, the project focuses on the use of transparency as a vehicle for ideological social reform.” You can look at the project website here.
Plus: Tonight, there will be a talk with Olia Lialina, Beny Wagner, Ben Vickers, Asli Serbest and Mona Mahall, which is part of the two-part discussion series 1:1 / Re-calculating virtual ratios, organized by Elvia Wilk. The first part focused on ‘opacity’ and was excellent. This one, you guessed it, is going to be about ‘transparency’.
