Abstract (English)

"This exhibition gathers together artists who use the culture and practice of skateboarding as a means to critique architecture, social spaces, and the value constituted by those spaces. There are now an estimated 20 to 40 million practitioners of skateboarding worldwide. As British architecture critic Iain Borden states "Skateboarding's representational mode is not that of writing, drawing, or theorizing, but of performing - of speaking their meanings and critiques of the city through their urban actions."" -- Anthony Kiendl, page 13.
