Description: Mediocracy is an exhibition of architectural works by Michael Chapman and Chris Tucker which explores the complicity of architecture in systems of organization, systematization and bureaucracy. The exhibition aims to probe the spatial structure of productivity, exploring the agency of design within a landscape of mass industrialization and homogenization. When homogeneity becomes a model of government, architecture becomes implicated in aspects of power and control, as the battle-lines between product and consumer are redrawn. The exhibition examines the clandestine architectures of bureaucracy and the role that architects play in both articulating and undermining these structures, with drawings and models of architectural projects that may be, or could be.
