Berlin Night

In conjunction with the 2020 exhibition Housing the Friendship, Winsing Art Place Bookstore presents a collection of publications by Czech-American architect and educator John Hejduk (1929-2000), including the trilogy series Mask of Medusa (1985), Bovisa (1987), and Berlin Night (1993), among other rare and out-of-print books.

Hejduk believes in the power of architecture to influence the spiritual world — not just the building itself, but also architecture-related drawings, photographs, and paintings can be viewed independently as architecture. Since the 1980s, Hejduk’s work has been frequently exhibited in universities and art museums around the world, with many of his installations being built in different countries, engaging society in dialogue. The bookstore’s collection is not only the book itself, but a complete collection of Hejduk’s works.
