November 30, 2005- February 3, 2006
• Curator: Christopher Phillips
• Some of the artists represented in the show were Olafur Eliasson, Carlos Garaicoa, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, Caio Reisewitz, Ed Ruscha, Doris Salcedo, Melanie Smith, and Wang Qingsong.
• The two central themes of Beyond Delirious were: architecture and urbanism; which testified to the contemporary evolution of urban form around the world.
• From buildings to cityscapes, the exhibition contrasted the growth of cities such as Mexico City by Melanie Smith, Shanghai by Shi Guorui or Olivo Barbieri; to the classical architecture of for example, Piazza San Marco by Massimo Vitali; or Hiroshi Sugimoto Farnsworth House by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.
