CALL FOR IDEAS: Taking Buildings Down
Taking Buildings Down asks for proposals for the production of voids; the demolition of buildings, structures, and infrastructures; or the subtraction of objects and/or matter as a creative act. Removal is all that is allowed.
Definition Series: Holes (Blind Spots and Other Anomalies)
December 8 at 7 pm
With Sarah Oppenheimer, Ines Goldbach and Julian Rose.
Boundaries delimit inhabited space, shaping the material and immaterial flow along its contours. Holes distort these contours. The presence of holes produces blind spots, absorbing the possibility of communication and placing it on hold. Simultaneously, holes shuffle transmission, re-routing flow through the network of inhabitable space.
Definition Series: Shelter, Not Shelter
December 15 at 7 pm
With Nick Axel, Lluis Alexandre Casanovas Blanco, Vere van Gool, Lydia Kallipoliti, Ryan John King, Sean Monahan, and others
The concept of shelter is an architectural stigma, and perhaps for good reason. Shelter is perceived to be the absolute minimum necessity for survival, and the humanitarian-industrial complex has for some time now attempted to redefine it in ever more detailed terms and conditions. Architecture, however, tends to be defined by shelter, if in no other way than as its excess.
