Skyscrapers have sex and are caught in Flagrant Délit. Between a pink torso and a buffed-up American GI, a nun is spitting fire. Synchronised swimmers, prize-winning vegetables, and the mythic ‘making of’ Manhattan are all celebrated on countless postcards, alongside a home-diagnosis kit that combines the veneer of Freudian insight with the depth of Trivial Pursuit. Welcome to the The World of Madelon Vriesendorp, an exhibition that for the first time ever, brings together the London based, Dutch-born artist’s wildly diverse practices from the past forty years.

Madelon Vriesendorp has been called an ‘almost unknown artist genius’. This exhibition, which originated at the Architectural Association in London, aims to redress this discrepancy and situate Vriesendorp in her rightful place within late 20th century culture. The collections is now travelling the international circuit via the Venice Architecture Biennale and is currently on show in Basel.
