The Hayward
Psycho Buildings: Artists Take on Architecture
Wednesday 28 May 2008 - Monday 25 August 2008
This exhibition marks The Hayward’s 40th anniversary as one
of the world’s most architecturally unique exhibition venues. Taking its title from a book by artist Martin Kippenberger,
the exhibition brings together the work of artists who create habitat-like structures and architectural environments that
are mental and perceptual spaces as much as physical ones. Viewers enter and explore a series of atmospheric, spatially dynamic
constructions that use elements of light, colour, smell and design to trigger profound visceral responses that heighten their
attention to the relationship between the individual and their surroundings.
The exhibition spills out onto The Hayward’s three outdoor sculpture terraces, and features major installations by participating artists. Artists include: Atelier Bow-Wow, Michael Beutler, Los Carpinteros, Gelitin, Mike Nelson, Ernesto Neto, Tobias Putrih, Tomas Saraceno, Do-Ho Suh and Rachel Whiteread.
We would like to advise you of the following information about your visit to Psycho
Buildings.
Due to the limited capacity of the Tomas Saraceno, Observatory, Air-Port-City,
2008, those who meet entry criteria (age 16 years and over, fit and not suffering from vertigo) and win a lucky dip will be
permitted on the upper level. During and just after wet weather the lucky dip will be suspended and no one will be allowed
on the upper level until the membrane is fully dry. We are unable to guarantee participation for everyone. It may be
necessary, for the benefit of our customers during inclement weather to close the exhibit.
Visitors are very welcome to enter the lower level of the Observatory and view.
There are excellent views of the boating lake that can be enjoyed from the Royal Festival Hall, Level 4 Blue Bar.
