Abstract

Rotor’s 2013 exhibition Behind the Green Door and the 2014 exhibition 1:1 Period Rooms by Andreas Angelidakis expound theoretical arguments about sustainability and about changing museological conventions through material exhibits and material-discursive gestures. In the first exhibition these gestures correspond to a Latourian Dingpolitik, while in the second they are informed by institutional critique. The two exhibitions defy any simple opposition between engaging with the materiality of architecture and theoretically informed criticality. They illustrate an expansion of architectural practice into research exhibition making as well as an expansion of architecture’s models and theory.
