Summary

Why have so many contemporary artists returned to the forms, ideas and aspirations of Modernist architecture and design? This original publication explores the work of international artists who tackle Modernism by engaging in a dialogue with a specific designer, architect or work from this pivotal period of the twentieth century. Constructed as "conversions" between the past and the present, ten artists look into the future through the media of video, painting, sculpture, installation and photography. Canadian artist Paulette Phillips examines architect Eileen Gray's villa E-1027; Austrian artist Dorit Margreiter, one of John Lautner's houses; Spanish-born American Inigo Manglano-Ovalle, Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House; British artist Simon Starling, the lamps of Danish designer Poul Henningsen; Scottish artist Toby Paterson, Basil Spence's British Pavilion for Expo 67; Canadian artist Arni Haraldsson, Ernö Goldfinger's buildings; Slovenian-born Tobias Putrih, Buckminster Fuller's geodesic spheres; Canadian artist David Tomas, a house designed by Ludwig Wittgenstein; Iranian-German artist Nairy Baghramian, furniture designer Janette Laverrière; and Canadian artist John Massey, a house designed by his father, Hart Massey.
