Dan Merta, the curator of the exhibition, with whom we had long and passionate debates about its concept, once wrote for the magazine A2 (No. 46/2007): "In order for the exhibition to be engaging, it should meet several basic goals. This initial state was excellently formulated by Kristina Feireiss, the founder of the Berlin gallery Aedes, when she was preparing an exhibition strategy for the Netherlands Architecture Institute (NAI), which she led from 1996 to 2001: it should contain information, confrontation, provocation, stimulation, and entertainment.........
