mies missing materiality

The Fundació Mies van der Rohe periodically invites artists and architects to provoke new looks and reflections through their interventions in the Pavilion.

After SANAA, Jeff Wall, Ai Wei Wei, Enric Miralles, Andrés Jaque and Antoni Muntadas among others, this year A&EB – Anna & Eugeni Bach will be in charge of transforming the Mies van der Rohe Pavilion with their project “Mies missing materiality “.
The artistic intervention will turn the Mies van der Rohe Pavilion into a real-size model for eleven days, dressing it with a unique material to undress it of all its materiality.

In the words of the authors “The Mies van der Rohe Pavilion will be dressed to undress it of all its materiality. […] The Pavilion will, for a time, be the scale model 1:1 of the longest temporary pavilion of modern architecture. ”
