More information in our October post for its opening here, Ma Yansong in Madrid. “Ma Yansong: Between (global) modernity and (local) tradition”
The exhibition shows 30 buildings from works as the stunning as the City&art Museum (Ordos, China), the Absolute Towers (Mississauga, Canada) and never shown before recent projects.
The tour around his work includes around thirty large and medium models, which will allow to understand the discourse of the architect who is considered to be among the most representative of the young generations that have studied in China, but have finished their studied outside the country, like him, who was student of the Architecture and Civil Engineering Institute of Beijing and then carried out a Master at the University of Yale. There he met Zaha Hadid, tutor of the course, and stayed another year in the USA to work with Peter Eisemann in the Holocaust Memorial of Berlin. It is the first exhibition carried out in Spain and despite having taken part in many group exhibitions, the only ones he had displayed until now in Europe are those of the Museo dalla Diocesi (Biennial of Venice, 2006) and in the DAC of Denmark in 2007, after their first spectacular anthological –“MAD under Construction”- carried out in the Tokyo Gallery of Beijing in 2006.
