Untitled (Superstructure) constructs an architectural extension around the side of the model which recognizably refers to the work of Iraqi-British star architect Zaha Hadid, who became internationally known for the fluid, organic shapes of her buildings. The curved shapes of Hadid’s signature formal language have become associated with museums and cultural production, symbolizing a certain notion of the public: an institution that is itself a public space, a spectacle, and a museum.

In this context the juxtaposition highlights the dynamics of contemporary cultural institutions: with its “build your own” model, the Anne Frank museum is creating merchandising that doubles as political tool, while the extension creates an analogy to other museums and their participation in corporate culture.
