Synopsis

The Architectural Unconscious brings together two artists with differing but complementary attractions to architecture. James Casebere is known for his photographs of small-scale, tabletop models reminiscent of prisons, monasteries, tunnels or factories, while Glen Seator devises architectural forms from existing office spaces and building facades that provoke a comparable dislocation. Presented alongside one another, their work lucidly extrapolates architecture's unique capacity for disquiet and oppression.
