The life of today's suburbs is interesting, complex, and diverse, but the suburban environments we are building are not.

This exhibition takes as its point of departure the Greek word metaxi, referring to an in‑between condition—belonging to two realms at once. METAXIS explores what happens in between: between ideas, objects, spaces, and ways of seeing.

The exhibited projects move fluidly between perception and imagination, inside and outside, presence and absence, art and architecture. What does it mean to create public art and architecture in the 21st century?
