"Artists Take on Architecture"

"Psycho Buildings: Artists Take on Architecture" is the title of an exhibition.

Does it mean "artists' understanding of architecture"? Thus, is "take" here a noun? If so, wasn't it better to say "Artists' Take on Architecture"? Maybe it is OK to remove that apostrophe, since it is a title?


I disagree with deadrat. Nothing about the title allows us to infer that the exhibition centers on 'artists against architects'- especially about the 'nature of buildings'.

"Take on" here can mean different things, but in this context it is most similar to "focus on", "tackles" or "engage with". This is a common phrase. See a popular tv series that uses it in the same way: Tracey Takes On...

As such, assuming some discord between artists and architects is incorrect. Rather, the artists will be tackling the philosophy or artistic nature of buildings- maybe in a complimentary way, critically, etc.
