ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

On view from March 3 through April 2, 2011, the new exhibition One Thousand Doors, No Exit features two projects by Warsaw-based artist Nicolas Grospierre, TATTARRATTAT (2010) and Hydroklinika (2004). The subjects could not be less similar: a 14th century Venetian palazzo and an abandoned Soviet-era spa treatment complex in Lithuania. Taken together, however, these projects show Grospierre’s persistent interest in the tension between perception and truth in architecture, as well as architecture’s capacity to stand as an artifact of ideology.

The Graham’s presentation of TATTARRATTAT is made possible in part by the Signum Foundation.
