Performing Educational Modernism | Sabine Bitter & Helmut Weber
Southern Alberta Art Gallery, Lethbridge, AB
Employing historical photographs, architectural drawings and interviews in their performance video work, Sabine Bitter and Helmut Weber explore the “democratizing” relationship between post-war modernist architecture and the acquisition of knowledge. Among the architects cited is Arthur Erickson, renowned for his radical designs of Simon Fraser University and the University of Lethbridge. The artists examine his “whole-campus” master plans in light of shifting social and political beliefs and ideals.
