Martin Wong. Malicious Mischiefs

This publication focuses on Sanaas housing projects, both finished works and unrealized projects. SANAA's architecture embraces complexities within deceptively simple appearances. It has many elements that are impossible to understand unless one actually experiences it. In contrast with modern architecture, SANAA has many aspects that cannot be revealed in representative media such as plans, models, and photographs. The representations of their architectural works incorporate ambiguity and chronological elements. This characteristic makes Sanaa one of the most innovative and productive offices in the current architectural panorama. This publication focuses on Sanaas housing projects, both finished (House in Plum Grove, Moriyama House, Moriyama House, Flower House and Small House), and unrealised projects (Ichikawa apartments, House in China, Hachobori, Orkurayama).

To bring into this project, Tobias Rehberger selected a shocking title extracted from one of the quote by St. Paul to the Corinthians, and more specifically from the paragraph about the Resurrection of the Dead. The question is crucial since the project relates to the idea of the Resurrection within the artist's work and trajectory. For the staging of the installation, seventeen projects were selected out of over forty of which the artist counted on. Over his sketches, drawings and short annotations, Rehberger tried to redo and give life to them, applying the other forms, materials and sizes. For this exhibition a catalog was designed by Chris Rehberger with a wide selection of the previous projects in a graphical, critical and historiographical scale. The catalog includes a text by Chus Martinez and a detailed analysis on the new project by the exhibition's commissioner, Agustn Prez Rubio as well as an elaborated review about the hidden story of each one of the seventeen projects, written by Doris Mampe.
