Archistories

Architecture in Art


In summary

The Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe reopens the doors of its historic Orangery after extensive renovations.

 

With Archistories, it presents a rich and multifaceted exhibition exploring the relationship between art and architecture across five centuries of creation. More than 100 works by 70 artists — spanning from the 17th century to today — delve into the many dimensions of built space: from utopias and memories to social critique and visual poetry. Paintings, drawings, engravings, and sculptures engage in dialogue with contemporary installations, videos, and photographs, creating a vibrant and surprising encounter. The exhibition raises aesthetic, environmental, and cultural questions, revealing how architecture becomes memory, critique, and a source of inspiration.
