The Architectural Unconscious brings together two contemporary artists who address similar issues in architecture -- architecture as sculpture, as site, and as image -- in very different ways. James Casebere is known for the black and white and monochromatic color photographs he makes using small-scale tabletop models. These models are then subtly lit and photographed to create disconcerting, archetypal spaces reminiscent of prisons, monasteries, tunnels, and factories. The work of Glen Seator recreates architectonic forms -- offices, facades -- based on already existing buildings; lifted out of context, the works provoke a sense of dislocation, causing viewers to reconsider the social use of the original site, as well as the space in which the work is displayed. This visual diary places these two innovators and their works in dialogue through notes, sketches, plans, snapshots, and related works, as well as images of the final pieces.
