Exhibition
'The extraordinary international artistic response to Psycho Buildings shows just how challenging, exciting and playful
The Hayward can be' Ralph Rugoff, Director of The Hayward and curator of the exhibition.
This exhibition marks The Hayward's 40th anniversary as one of the world's most architecturally unique exhibition venues.
The exhibition brings together the work of artists who create habitat-like structures and architectural environments. Become an adventurous participant as you explore The Hayward's spaces inside and out, including a room frozen in a moment of explosive disaster, an eerie village of over 200 dollhouses, a floating plastic cloud and a skyline boating pond.
PSYCHO BUILDINGS: CURRENT UPDATE
We would like to advise you of the following information about your visit to Psycho Buildings.
Due to the limited capacity of the Tomas Saraceno, Observatory, Air-Port-City, 2008, those who meet entry criteria (age 16 years and over, fit and not suffering from vertigo) and win a lucky dip will be permitted on the upper level. During and just after wet weather the lucky dip will be suspended and no one will be allowed on the upper level until the membrane is fully dry. We are unable to guarantee participation for everyone. It may be necessary, for the benefit of our customers during inclement weather to close the exhibit.
Visitors are very welcome to enter the lower level of the Observatory and view.
There are excellent views of the boating lake that can be enjoyed from the Royal Festival Hall, Level 4 Blue Bar.
We very much hope that you enjoy your visit to the exhibition.
