The present work starts from the distrust regarding the manichean criticism presented by Hal Foster in the book The art-architecture Complex. His argument is based on the opposition between the triad of phenomenological experience, imagery virtuality and conceptual acting. As a result, there is a moralistic reduction of these issues causing the condemnation of several contemporary architectural practices and the legitimation of Richard Serra s artistic process. Following Foster s perspective, architecture would be fated to the potentialization of the current neoliberal logic, thus positioning the American artist as the only possibility of resisting to it. In this dissertation, the performance of the Brazilian artist Cildo Meireles is taken as transgressor to this fosterian logic. By complexifying the relations between mind-body-image in his artistic approach, Meireles restricts being easily categorized. Therefore, his artworks serve as an aid to reveal that, despite adhering to a capitalist logic, part of contemporary architecture may also present transgressive aspects. The Herzog and de Meuron s studio is chosen to be analyzed here, based on the assumption that its trajectory is not limited to the framework established in the above mentioned book. Due to the fact that each project belonging to the Swiss architects has its own particularities, it seems difficult to speak of its totality without significant reductionism. This leads the research to the study of one of their intriguing buildings: the Schaulager. There is the impression that they operate following what is denominated here as the condition of between, established by the entanglement of the deviant performance of Cildo Meireles with contemporary digital architecture.
