Modern©ité: lecture by Jordi Colomer

A lecture by the artist Jordi Colomer (1962) in concurrence with the exhibition ‘Modern©ité' in which he is one of the five participants. In many of his sculptures and videos Colomer investigates the relationship between architecture and decor. In ‘Anarchitekton' (a reference to the work 'Architekton' by Malevich) he shows a character carrying cardboard scale models of modern architecture in Barcelona, Bucharest, Brasilia or Osaka. This way he simultaneously denounces the reality of these constructions and celebrates the utopia that they once upheld.
