COINCIDENCES AND DIVERGENCES: ARCHITECTURE AND ARTISTIC INSTALLATIONS

A comparative study is presented whose objective is to highlight the similarities and differences that exist between architecture and artistic installations. Four case studies are analyzed, and in each one of them a couple of works from both disciplines are contrasted, which were selected considering the common use of certain visual resources: One-Sqm-House, by Van Bo Le-Mentzel and Measurement Rooms, by Mel Bochner; Jade Eco Park, by Philippe Rahm, Inert Gas Series and Ultrasonic Wave Piece, by Robert Barry; Roulotte, by Xavier Arenos, Domenec, Marti Peran and Just about Virtues and Vices in General, by Erwin Wurm; the Hans-Walter Muller Refugee Center and Michael Rakowitz's paraSITE homeless shelter. This analysis allows us to glimpse the great diversity of aspects that bring together or separate these two worlds linked by their interest in space.
