ARRHOV FRICK. URSPRUNG Origin/Origin.


  • Architecture Theater Mendrisio 25 Via Alfonso Turconi Mendrisio, TI, 6850 Switzerland (map)

The exhibition itinerary, on the ground floor and in the First Gallery of the Mendrisio Architecture Theater, is punctuated by a series of thematic sections that refer to the research and design method of the Swedish architecture firm Arrhov Frick.

Each section is accompanied by numerous drawings by the architects and large photographs by Swedish artist Mikael Olsson, who has developed a personal signature in his way of interpreting architecture, namely its radical re-visioning and re-presentation through the mediation of photography.

In addition to the full-bodied contribution in the exhibition of Mikael Olsson's photographic work - who over the years has interpreted most of Arrhov Frick's work in images - a series of 'site-specific' textile works will be installed, created by Academy students on the basis of research and data related to the analysis of local environmental conditions and according to the creative methods of Akane Moriyama's workshops, a Stockholm-based Japanese artist who has long collaborated with the studio of Swedish architects in the creation of textile and layered, ephemeral or non-ephemeral elements and artifices that often go in as distinctive elements of their architecture.

To conclude the collective processing experiences at the Mendrisio Architecture Theater, Asako Iwama, an artist working between Berlin and Tokyo, will offer the audience her educational background as a cook and artist in an experimental workshop exploring the social dimensions of food.
