“Heterotopia” is the title of an exhibition at the Deutsches Architekturmuseum DAM in Frankfurt that brings together works by a variety of artists – including Willem van Genk, Gerhard van Lankveld and Hans-Jörg Georgi – in an exhibition that opens at 7 p.m. on May 30, 2008. In this way, the show refers to the concept coined by Michel Foucault of heterotopias, so-called “non-places” to which people excluded from society but also (taboo) actions were banished – hospitals, cemeteries, prisons, etc.”
