architecten de vylder vinck taillieu (Jan De Vylder, Inge Vinck, and Jo Taillieu) are key protagonists in the innovative world of Belgian architecture, working with unconventional ideas. They playfully break with our habits of imagining functions, building proportions, and using materials in specific ways. gta exhibitions has invited the office to work on the exhibition space at the Hönggerberg campus, designing a new perspective on this built educational context.
Dan Graham
with an intervention by Günther Vogt

Dan Graham has been one of the most influential conceptual artists since the 1960s. With his glass pavilions, he creates architectural elements that de-familiarize dimensions, enabling new experiences of space. One of his most recent works was The Roof Garden Commission at New York’s Metropolitan Museum that he designed together with landscape architect and ETH professor Günther Vogt. At gta exhibitions, Graham and Vogt will present a new collaboration alongside a presentation of earlier works by the artist. To accompany the exhibition, a newly produced artist book will be published.
