After a deadly virus breaks out, society as a whole begins to shut
down and fracture but not all is as it seems. Awaking from a
hospital bed Mark finds him-self thrown into a deadly game of cat
and mouse with the sinister Dr Weiss as he desperately tries to be
reunited with his family and uncover the truth behind the outbreak.
Follow him on his journey as it takes him to the edge of despair
and beyond. "A deafening whirring noise came from outside, as the
papers that had been lining the streets were whipped into a frenzy,
scattering into the air as if a tornado had just hit. Moments later
a large military style helicopter appeared in view, a dark green
metal beast with a menacing appearance, it hovered for a few
seconds before finally descending, its wheels kissing the ground as
it came to a stop"
'Study of a significant new arts facility and exhibition space'.
Insights from the architects and planners regarding this innovative
building Designed by AS-IF, GfZK-2 was completed in 2005, the
second building for the Gallery of Contemporary Art in Leipzig. It
was deliberately conceived as a stark contrast to the first (a
converted villa), in order to raise a debate about the role and
function of architecture and its relation to art. A single-storey
structure based on a polygonal configuration of spatial segments,
the parts form a changeable infrastructure for the contemporary
practice of exhibiting and curating and they allow a simultaneous
and side-by-side presence of different programmes, visual and
thematic relationships, which can be re-configured by means of
sliding walls and curtains for each specific exhibition. The book
focuses on the uses of the building and the dialogues between the
architecture and the processes that occur within and around it. To
this end artistic and curatorial exhibition concepts realised in
the GfZK-2 are presented alongside essays examining the
performative and processual concepts of the architectural space.
There are also technical data and texts providing an insight into
the building process.
