OMA/Progress exhibition

To mark the opening of the Rothschild Bank headquarters, the first OMA building in Britain, London's Barbican Art Gallery dedicates an exhibition to the prestigious architectural practice co-founded by REM Koolhaas.

The exhibition is curated by the Rotor collective of Brussels, designers of the Belgian pavilion at the 2010 Venice Architecture Biennale.

The curators selected material from OMA?s archives: findings, documents, images and models offering a new perspective on OMA?s built and unbuilt projects and conceptual work. The declared intention is to reveal the studio?s architecture as a practice or process which changes each time on the basis of the project at hand.
