Bjarne Melgaard : A House to Die In

25 Sep-18 Nov 2012

Overview

The exhibition is the result of a close collaboration between Bjarne Melgaard and award winning architectural firm Snøhetta. Since 2011, Melgaard and Snøhetta have exchanged architectural drawings, models and documents as they work towards the realisation of a purpose-built house.In the lower galleries, Melgaard will present a 1:1 facade of the proposed building, alongside models and drawings that form part of a wider body of research. The works in the Upper Galleries will examine the relationship between mental health and production, displaying a body of works developed in partnership between Melgaard and a group of schizophrenic artists who have responded directly to the artist’s existing works.
