Daniel Libeskind

Daniel Libeskind is the first exhibition to showcase four of this acclaimed architect’s recent and forthcoming North American building projects. This exhibition demonstrates Daniel Libeskind’s distinct aesthetic process through photographs, conceptual drawings, models and large-scale, three-dimensional structures visitors can enter to experience the architect's vision.

"These installations are part of a language of architecture that is crystal clear, optimistic, and free."
- Daniel Libeskind

Space Is the Place

In a global moment preoccupied with terrestrial conflicts, why are so many artists fascinated by extraterrestrial subjects? Space Is the Place features an international selection of recent works on the theme of space exploration—its history, limitations and potential.

"When someone meditates on the infinte universe, something of grandeur is conferred on him or her, and he or she experiences an expansion of being." - French scientist and philosopher Gaston Bachelard
