IK-00. The space of confinement (Marsilio)

IK-. The Spaces of Confinement forms part of a trilogy of exhibitions held by Moscow’s V-A-C Foundation during the Venice Architecture Biennales and curated by Katerina Chuchalina.The focus is on three key factors in the art-architecture relationship: the city, prison and war. After the first exhibition in 212 entitled “The Way of Enthusiasts” on the relationship between artists and the post-Soviet city, IK- looks at prison architecture, opening its exploration to Russian and non-Russian artists who reflect on the architecture of exclusion and seek different ways of recording and bearing testimony to institutional spaces that punish and sometimes correct individuals by separating them from the rest of society.
