Carpet Space is a project developed in collaboration with artist Assaf Evron. The project, which received a Graham Foundation research grant and developed into an exhibition at the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal, explores the relationship between carpet and architecture.
The exhibition looks at the ways carpets perform in architecture, being utilized as strategic devices by architects, corporate designers, and brands in order to achieve various goals: from the organization of circulation to disorientation and confusion of those who need to be held captive in order to spend more. It frames the subject by associating contemporary hyper-capitalist architectural types with the promise of 1960s Megastructures, arguing that the idea of liberation was hijacked in the process of creating extravagant interiors geared towards maximum profit.
