Her research-based photographic practice reveals a programmatic interest in the effects of globalization and economic homogenization on urban space, and its subsequent transformation into a proliferating array of non-spaces (suburbias, conurbations, transportation hubs). Large-scale photographic murals depicting the chaotic anarchitecture of such sprawling megalopolises as Tokyo, Sao Paulo and Mexico City actively question the received wisdom and established conventions of twentieth-century architectural photography. One of her artist publications was fittingly titled \u0026ldquo;Elasticity\u0026rdquo;, a direct reference to the \u0026lsquo;flexibility\u0026rsquo; necessary for re-imagining the contemporary global city-scape. In 2002, Konrad participated in \u003cem\u003eParamount Basics (Extended)\u003c/em\u003e, a hybrid, expansive \u0026lsquo;solo\u0026rsquo; exhibition dedicated to the work of another Brussels-based artist, Richard Venlet, itself a continuation of Venlet\u0026rsquo;s exhibition proposal for the 2001 Sao Paulo Biennial in which Konrad had also been involved.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAglaia Konrad \u003c/strong\u003eis een van oorsprong Oostenrijkse kunstenares die sinds vele jaren in Brussel woont; in haar voornamelijk fotografische werk staat het visuele onderzoek naar de effecten van globalisering en homogenisering op de (groot)stedelijke ruimte centraal. In haar monumentale, vaak in muurvullende collages geassembleerde zwart-witfoto\u0026rsquo;s van metropolen als Tokio, Sao Paulo, Mexico City, Ca\u0026iuml;ro en Brussel bevraagt ze de gangbare conventies van de architectuurfotografie.
