Josephine Meckseper in SUR/FACE: Mirrors
The exhibition SUR/FACE: Mirrors focused on the phenomenon of the mirrored surface in art, design and architecture of the present. On 1,200 square metres of floor space, the show featured products by such designers as Ron Arad, Ettore Sottsass and Oskar Zieta and artworks by Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian, Isa Genzken, Andy Warhol and many others. More than a hundred objects made of mirrored glass, highly polished metal or reflective plastic attracted the viewer’s gaze, steered it, occasionally confounded it, and offered it new perspectives.
