Envisioning Buildings: reflecting architecture in contemporary art photography

Yet another reason to visit Vienna!
Content below is from the e-flux exhibition review:

ENVISIONING BUILDINGS: reflecting architecture in contemporary art photography surveys the work of 28 contemporary artists who engage with aspects of architecture and building. ENVISIONING BUILDINGS reflects the MAK’s status as a museum of applied art/contemporary art and its multi-disciplinary collections and program focus on producing exhibitions that talk across disciplines and suggest new ways of thinking about one discipline from the perspective of another. In this case it is architecture from the perspective of contemporary art. Cross-disciplinary discourse is a focus of the exhibition’s public speaking and education programs, which attempts to mix artists, architects, historians and curators.
