The exhibition presents six projects of NOX, the Dutch architecture office of Lars Spuybroek. The projects are presented each within their own flurbal universe, next to computer generated models.

The FLURB© is somewhat similar to Jackson Pollock´s drippings, his action-paintings, where a diagram produced on the floor, horizontally, is rotated into a vertical image, but here the canvas has been freed from its frame to start crawling both over floor and wall. The FLURB© connects the invisible formative forces from the computer to the visual results of a built structure and back again to the invisible feelings of experiencing human bodies. The FLURB© combines and relates diagrams, computer drawings, photos, analyses, models into one singular flexible surface. The FLURB© grows from the inside out like a snowflake, internally organized by the connections and relationships within each project. The FLURB© looks for the architecture of the exhibition space as well, it becomes a body itself: crawling, jumping and sliding, flexible, physical maps that enter the body space of the visitor. The FLURB© shows bodies and architecture on the same scale.
