"States of Exception" features the work of Atelier Van Lieshout, MVRDV, Dadara and Angel Cabrales. With artwork interrogating prison subjugation, torture and slaughter houses, "States of Exception" explores Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben's writings on "bare life" and homo sacer. A large prison cell, an installation of hazmat suits, a video of a pig abattoir in sky scrapers and a Bombird grace the premises of Centraltrak. This exhibition shows work by two Rotterdam architecture-design firms, Atelier Van Lieshout and MVRDV, an Amsterdam arts think tank, Dadara and Denton artist Angel Cabrales. This exhibition was made possible by Tanya Bonakdar Gallery in Manhattan, the offices of Atelier Van Lieshout and MVRDV in Rotterdam and The Why Factory at the Technical University of Delft.
