<p>Architectones, a monumental undertaking of seven exhibitions installed across three continents over a two year period, unites Veilhan's diverse interests in modernity, its histories of technology, and its cult of genius figures. Collectively titled after Kazimir Malevich's volumetric-spatial models, the art and architectural works partake in the revolutionary idealism of a period in which it was possible to imagine transforming society from the ground up by way of a new form of building. Between 2012 and 2014, Veilhan used music, light, and sculpture to activate Richard Neutra's VDL Research House in Silver Lake, Pierre Koenig's Case Study House No. 21 in the Hollywood Hills, and buildings designed by Le Corbusier and Mies Van Der Rohe, among others. The histories and legacies of the architects themselves played a prominent role in these installations, with figural sculptures and die-cut silhouettes of the looming personalities of the architects populating his installations. Architectones: Art in the Living Environment tells both a story of present and past, archiving exhibition photography as well as anecdotal and historical documents of many of the greatest domestic and private spaces of modern architecture.</p>
