Hans Ulrich Obrist's latest domestic intervention in Sao Paulo's Glass House

Hans Ulrich Obrist will curate an exhibition of 15 to 20 artists' projects in Sao Paulo's Glass House, the former home of modernist architect Lina Bo Bardi. "Lina is one of the great women architects of the 20th century and her major projects haven't been recognised enough", he says. The project is the latest in a series of domestic interventions by Obrist. He has previously staged exhibitions in the homes of architect Luis Barragan in Mexico City, philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche in Sils Maria, Switzerland and poet Frederico Garcia Lorca in Granada, Spain.
