“mies missing materiality” is an artistic intervention by Anna Bach, teacher on the Bachelor’s Degree in Design and on the Master’s Degree in Design of Spaces in collaboration with Eugeni Bach, which will turn the Mies van der Rohe Pavilion into a life-size model for four days, with all its surfaces limited to a single white, uniform material.
The Mies van der Rohe Foundation regularly invites artists and architects to incite new looks and new reflections through their interventions in the Pavilion. On this occasion, Anna and Eugeni Bach take on the mantle of past creators who have transformed the pavilion, including SANAA, Jeff Wall, Ai Wei Wei, Enric Miralles, Andrés Escac and Antoni Muntadas.
“Dressing the Mies van der Rohe Pavilion to denude it of all materiality,” Anna and Eugeni Bach comment. “For a time,” say the creators, “the Pavilion will be the longest temporary 1:1 scale model of the pavilion in modern architecture.”
