hangs in a corner of the building, subduing the surrounding greenery with a burnt lavender tint.Nestled along the Fox River within the sprawling woods of Plano, Illinois, resides Mies van der Rohe’s coveted Edith Farnsworth House.
The exhibition encourages the viewer to reckon with their spatial contribution by means of their physical body, executed ideas, and generated output. The Farnsworth House itself takes shape as a skeletal example of an architectural interrogation in nature. The surrounding woods, at one point lush and untouched, now frame a plot of level earth to support the habitat Mies designed.
The Farnsworth House was built to be a purposefully skeletal structure, which lets the surrounding environment be less of a backdrop and more of an amenity to the home. In “The Last of Animal Builders,” Ortega Trejo fills this skeleton with invigorating organs by carefully including artists whose work supports a sustained and generative exploration of the cyclical relationship between humanity and nature through the lens of architecture. The thoughtful consideration of each artistic addition leads to a deeply contemplative experience of grappling with what it means to be alive.
