Global Cities ved Tate Modern

Verdens storbyer huser en stadig større del av jordens befolkning, noe som bidrar sterkt til å gjøre byene til et av de viktigste satsningsområdene når det gjelder fremtidige klimatiltak.

For de av dere som er interessert i byutvikling, og har London som reisemål, er derfor utstillingen Global Cities på Tate Modern vel verd et besøk. utstillingen står fram til 27. august.

Global Cities looks at the changing faces of ten dynamic international cities: Cairo, Istanbul, Johannesburg, London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Mumbai, São Paulo, Shanghai and Tokyo.
Exploring each city through five thematic lenses - SIZE, SPEED, FORM, DENSITY, DIVERSITY, COMMISSIONS - the exhibition draws on data originally assembled for the 10th International Architecture Exhibition at the 2006 Venice Biennale. This unique show presents existing films, videos and photographs by more than 20 artists and architects to offer subjective and intimate interpretations of urban conditions in all ten cities.

As Global Cities takes place in one of the focus cities, the exhibition uses London as a touchstone for comparison. New commissions by a group of six artists and architects who explore the local context through issues such as sustainability, public space and social inclusion:

• Nigel Coates
• Zaha Hadid & Patrik Schumacher
• Fritz Haeg
• Rem Koolhaas
• Nils Norman
• Richard Wentworth.
