As an architect in the broadest sense of the term, Stanko Kristl uses his projects and research work to pose, at every opportunity, the fundamental question of architecture: What is architecture in relation to human? People and their perception of space is a key theme in his work, one that has left a significant mark on architect Kristl s design research approach. Open: 10:00-18:00.

The exhibition presents both older and newer works, made by the artist during the last years of his life. It displays his well-known projects and interventions, videos, various documents (examples of judicial processes, therapist s visits, etc.), newspapers, collages, urban interventions, etc. A special emphasis is given to his interventions and performance art from the 1970s, and to his particularly piercing video production.
