DISAPPEAR HERE

2 May-24 Nov 2018

Riba, Royal Institute Of British Architects
London W1B 1AD

Overview

'Disappear Here: On perspective and other kinds of space'. From the Renaissance to the present day, perspective has been a constant in architectural writing and illustration. This exhibition explores how perspective spans truth and illusion, linking the disciplines of art, architecture and mathematics. Informed by RIBA’s vast collection, Sam Jacob Studio has redesigned the Architecture Gallery at 66 Portland as a conceptual, interactive space, where the visitor becomes a participant within the space of representation, while viewing original drawings and rare books by some of the most talented designers in history. This is the first solo exhibition in an institution by Sam Jacob Studio.
