Detour through The Architecture of Staged Realities

Sunday Stroll with Pia

Join us for a free Sunday Stroll on 10 October at 2pm. Detour guide Pia Canales will show you around the exhibition The Architecture of Staged Realities. Central to this exhibition is the influence that the work of Walt Disney has on our thinking and surroundings. Come along with professional observer Pia and discover this wonderful world from her point of view.

‘’I walk in circles, I only walk in circles, I walk in circles for hours, I keep walking in circles, every circle is different.’’

Pia Canales is a professional observer of everyday things. Thanks to her hyper-curious attitude, she knows a little about a lot of things, and thanks to her background in art, she knows too much about a few things. Her favourite things are peanut butter, inter-dimensional aliens, and amateurs.

In The Architecture of Staged Realities the focus is on the influence of Walt Disney on today’s built society and sense of identity. While he is praised for his technological innovations and the simplicity and familarity of his storytelling, there is another side to Disney and his empire.

The ingenuity with which he seamlessly entwines fairy tales and reality is accompanied by a compelling but one-sided conception of what the resulting wonderful worlds – and their inhabitants – should look like. Discover in this exhibition how Disney’s ideas continue to influence everyday life.
