Over the past few decades, discussions of contemporary architecture have tended to concentrate on a select few innovative building projects that promise to single-handedly change their urban landscapes. Vanishing Point conversely focuses on aspects of the built environment that are far less singular yet arguably more influential: spaces that anthropologist Marc Aug??? terms "non-places"--hotels, shopping malls, freeways, corporate high-rises, airport terminals, gambling casinos, themed restaurants and other visually intoxicating yet banal environments that people pass through, often on their way to somewhere else. Reflecting this, the artsists in Vanishing Point make an effort to "place" these characterless locations. They interpret rather than document architectural spaces in order to convey the range of emotions and physical sensations that they evoke. Includes the resulting paintings, photographs, videos and installations by emerging and established artists such as Fabian Birgfeld, Dike Blair, Marco Brambilla, Jonah Freeman, Carla Klein, Sabine Hornig, Luisa Lambri, Won Ju Lim, Sarah Morris, Deborah Stratman, Amelie Von Wulffen and Amy Wheeler.
