CPUL exhibitions / CPUL in exhibitions
Right from the start of our work to this day, Bohn&Viljoen have also widely exhibited our explorations, experiments, thoughts and design proposals. We feel grateful to have had – and still have – the opportunity to exhibit drawn or modelled as well as built projects. Sometimes, we act as co-curators too. Exhibitions include:
