Andreas Fogarasi

Andreas Fogarasi uses forms of display that are reminiscent of minimalism and conceptual art to explore questions of space and representation. Being situated between a documentary and a sculptural practice, his works critically analyse the aesthetisation and economisation of urban space and the role of architecture and the cultural field in contemporary society.
