Peter Weibel – A Retrospective 1964–2014
21er Haus
17 October 2014 to 11 January 2015
In the late 1960s, the rejection of sociopolitical conservatism with its traditional genderand class-specific role models manifested itself in radical upheavals in the arts: unconventional thinkers began to break up and merge the hitherto strictly separated genres of art and architecture.

Nevertheless they have always, to the very present, represented divergent models of identification and different cultural self-concepts.
