A Question of Evidence presents work by a selection of artists and cultural practitioners that engages with or comments upon the difficulty of creating, collecting, and disseminating evidence-based source material around issues such as identity politics, the suppression of human rights, democratic reform, and attempts to restrict free expression and representation. As “narrations of urgency”, the works in the exhibition often present multiple perspectives on conflicted or rapidly changing realities. > >

The Morning Line is a groundbreaking new experimental project by Matthew Ritchie designed with architects Aranda\Lasch and Daniel Bosia of Arup Advanced Geometry Unit, commissioned by Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary, which explores the interdisciplinary interplays between art, architecture, mathematics, cosmology, music, and science. Developed since 2004 as a research / investigation for a new pavilion The Morning Line is challenging architectural convention: The team of collaborators has designed the first semiasographic building, an architectural language that directly expresses its content through its structure – a structure that is simultaneously generating itself and falling apart, enclosing an interactive environment inside which a possible future can be seen – and changed.

The foundation’s second architectonic commission inaugurates as part of the 3rd International Biennial of Contemporary Art of Seville in Spain. The opening premieres collaborative compositions which are being created by Bryce Dessner in collaboration with David Sheppard and Evan Ziporyn, Riceboy Sleeps (Jón Thór Birgisson and Alex Somers), Mark Fell in collaboration with Roc Jiménez de Cisneros, Florian Hecker, Bruce Gilbert, Lee Ranaldo, Thom Willems, and Chris Watson.> >

The Evening Line is a portion of a larger structure - potentially the size of the universe - called The Morning Line, a groundbreaking new commission by Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary.

On the Croatian island of Lopud, near Dubrovnik, Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary (T-B A21) has been involved in numerous conservation as well as architectural projects. Your black horizon Art Pavilion (David Adjaye / Olafur Eliasson) is the first of a number of interventions planned to invigorate the island’s attention to its heritage. In an attempt to bring together important conservation techniques and a new architectural project, T-B A21 in collaboration with ARCUS and the ARCH Foundation has invited French architects François Roche and Stéphanie Lavaux / R&Sie(n) to conceive of an intervention that reactivates an important historic fabric of the island‘s Renaissance gardens. > >
