Under pressure from an increasingly urban population, cities are evolving towards a new concept of themselves as global spaces, microcosms that integrate, like islands, the diversity of animal and plant life, while pushing their buildings up towards the clouds. At the same time, city dwellers dream of villages and foraging in wild countryside dotted with deep forests and ponds. Between the two, in the gap between these two extremes, stands the cabin, a temporary structure, a space with multiple uses, a cave or hiding place, a temporary shelter or refuge.
This new exhibition presents the work of some forty artists for whom the cabin embodies freedom, autonomy, and the ability to live in harmony with nature without giving up the advantages of modernity.
