360: Peter Burr

7 Jun-8 Jul 2018

Zabludowicz Collection
London NW5 3PT

Overview

Peter Burr is a New York-based artist working in VR, video, games, installation, and performance. Commissioned by Rhizome and co-presented by the New Museum as part of their First Look: VR exhibition, Arcology, 2016 builds on Burr’s collaboration with games producer and writer, Porpentine. It takes its title from a 1969 book by Paolo Soleri Arcology - The City in the Image of Man, which proposes a series of revolutionary utopian visions of arcologies - new communities that are based on organic and biological systems. Burr’s interpretation transports the viewer into a dense labyrinth in which inner and outer space become indistinguishable.
