Zaha Hadid's first major U.S. commission goes under the microscope in Cincinnati

Per the CAC: “This exhibition approaches Hadid’s legacy not as a conclusive overview but rather as a point of departure full of possibilities and reflections. A building, a drawing, or an idea, once emancipated from the author, opens up a range of questions, meanings, and concepts that, while in constant evolution, continue to generate an ecosystem of knowledge. As such, Hadid´s works are not presented as conclusion but as starting points for a selection of artists, performers, and architects to respond to, engaging and evolving towards their own domains and interests. These artists will activate areas throughout the building with site-specific interventions and newly commissioned sound and video works, which will reveal untold readings of the architect’s context and generate new narratives.”

A series of public talks and lectures will accompany the exhibition. The show kicks off on September 22nd and will remain open to the public through January 28th of next year.
