Last Saturday our group of European artists and curators had the great pleasure to celebrate the opening of our exhibition named „A hard Place“ (Link) at 500x Gallery (Link) in Dallas Texas. It was an incredible evening and after so many months of planning, writing, organising and last but not least producing our pieces of art, we were so glad about talking to our guests and receiving so many positive comments.

To all the many visitors who found their way to 500x Gallery: thank you so much for joining us in this wonderful occasion!

"A hard place" is an exhibition of international artists addressing and responding to Brutalist Architecture; a dominant post war architectural movement embodying concepts of utilitarianism and Utopian aspiration. Curated by Gundula Schmitz (Laura Mars Gallery) and Gary Farrelly.

Moore (IRE/BE), ScAle Architects (IT), Tannhäuser Tor: Alekos Hofstetter (DE) + Florian Göpfert (DE), Christine Weber (DE), Julia Zinnbauer (DE).
