In her work, Claudia Weber conceives of strategies that challenge the conditioned perception of and interaction with everyday spaces. In an attempt to break through the cycle in which the status quo is reinscribed into the built environment, Weber responds to selected sites with propositions that, in their ephemeral nature, should be understood as both physical and philosophical suggestions of (im)possible spaces. For her upcoming project, Weber will turn one wing of Mies van der Rohe’s McCormick House into her temporary home and studio, within which she will respond to both the building’s transformation from modernist residence to contemporary exhibition space, and the impact of this shift on the relationship between art, design and life.
