Architectural organisms

Brazilian sculptor Oliveira presents this architectural mutation of The Palais De Tokyo as part of an ongoing exploration of forms in revolt. His work links architecture, botany and human anatomy in ways which are both uncomfortable and provocative. There is the shadow of disease about the way his creations twist and bloat: a resemblance to tumorous growth; a sense of order being fatally disrupted; a sense of unstoppable change which fights our attempts to marshal the chaos of nature in our well defined environments. Until September the 9th.

"The English garden provided the opportunity to consecrate and enact a hierarchy of the senses in a manner that resembled a religious litany."
