“A building is a container,” the artist Monica Bonvicini said in a 2004 interview with Spike, “something that acts as a barrier and stays in your way.” Believing that architecture is profoundly masculine—from its design to its construction—Bonvicini re-appropriates space. “Since I’m working with space,” she explains, “I can’t avoid dealing with the body of the person who moves through the installation.” In this show, Bonvicini carries out an architectural intervention in a Mies van der Rohe gallery. With a mirrored platform centrally placed, she fundamentally alters spatial flow and sight lines. A number of her sculptures populate the gallery, among them Chainswings (2022) and 2 Tonnen AlteNationalgalerie (1998). The sound piece Retrospective (2022) is part of the installation. —Elena Clavarino
