Berlin — New York Dialogues: Building in Context

Galleries: Judith and Walter Hunt Gallery, Mezzanine Gallery, Kohn Pederson Fox Gallery, HLW Gallery, South Gallery

Two of the world’s most dynamic urban centers, Berlin and New York, are making radical transformations in their streets and skylines. Berlin — New York Dialogues investigates the changes in these two cities by looking at the contemporary built environment and mechanisms of urban regeneration: the social, political, economic, and cultural processes that affect building.

As the exhibition delineates, the sustainability of these cities’ neighborhoods is increasingly dependent on a critical mixture of identity, diversification, and infrastructure.

Against a background of data Berlin — New York Dialogues brackets three areas of each city. High-end projects and informal initiatives are featured and made comparable by a set of overarching topics: Culture as Catalyst, Community Activism, Gentrification, Open Space, and Governmental Intervention. Focus is given to the stories and forces behind the projects — the urban context.

Berlin — New York Dialogues is presented in partnership with Carnegie Hall as part of Berlin in Lights, a festival taking place November 2-18, 2007.

Architecture Inside/Out

September 19 – January 5, 2008

Galleries: Gerald D Hines Gallery, Street Gallery, Public Resource Center

Architecture Inside/Out demonstrates the unfolding of space by exposing architectural interiors through a range of typologies with an inward focus, including libraries, hotels, retail and work spaces. This exhibition challenges conventional categories and explores alternative typologies. The design of interiors has evolved into a complex and nuanced problem and addresses circulation patterns, use and adjacencies, sociologies of hierarchy and networks, and sustainability. The fully integrated interior considers light, color and materiality, but also new ways of programming space, the latest technological advances, innovative methods of construction and green practices.

Traditional representations such as section, plan and elevation, in addition to models and details will provide a lens to reveal inherent characteristics of featured interiors, exposing materials, structure and spatial relationships. Architecture Inside/Out takes the familiar architectural conventions and places them parallel to alternative ways of seeing and revealing. When these alternative methods of understanding space are applied to typologies, they provide views of the interior that shed new light on familiar places.

Chinatowns
There are more than 300 Chinatowns around the world today. Many others have disappeared, and new ones are being born each year. Starting in NYC and moving east around the planet, 1,000 photographs taken by almost as many photographers is a visual tribute to the diversities and idiosyncrasies, as much as the similarities, that unite these urban communities scattered over the world. Storefront for Art and Architecture presents the exhibition in association with Chinatown Film Festival New York.

Manhattan Noon
Forty color-saturated photographs, part of a series undertaken since 2000, trace photographer Gus Powell’s fascination with a series of poems by Frank O’Hara, specifically the poet’s ability to write meaningfully while a full-time employee. Powell took advantage of available moments in his own life — lunch hours and daily commutes — to capture the movements of fellow New Yorkers. Helping to establish the connection between the two artists, O’Hara’s poems are also represented in the exhibition.

West Side Rail Yards
The Metropolitan Transit Authority seeks public comment on the five bids to develop the West Side Rail Yards. One third of the High Line runs through the Rail Yards site, and this section may be torn down depending on the MTA’s planning process. Zoning on the overall site allows 12 million square feet of combined residential and commercial development; the RFP also requires that space be allotted for a public school and community and cultural organizations. The MTA expects to select a developer for the site in the first quarter of 2008. And after conditional approval by the MTA board, the selected proposal will proceed through the city’s Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP).

Living City
This exhibition by New York Prize Fellows David Benjamin and Soo-in Yang features a large-scale installation of a building skin designed to breathe in response to air quality. Using the city as a research lab, Benjamin and Yang propose architecture that functions as a public interface to urban air quality, creating a platform for an ecology of building skins where individual buildings receive, share, and respond to data as part of a collective network.

Artist Susan Wides offers a view of NYC that is at once both recognizable and disorienting. With rare permission to shoot from roofs of new skyscrapers, Wides allows viewers to see the city as a physical entity of complicated tensions. While certain photographs intentionally evoke earlier artists who depicted modern city culture, others depict a NYC of heightened color and distortions of space, scale, and light.

This exhibition is of current and selected past works from four master innovators of modern design. Jim Cole, Howard Meister, Terence Main, and Forrest Myers were seminal members of the Art et Industrie movement in 1970s SoHo, merging craft and concept into singular works of art while creating a new platform for the decorative arts.

Making a Home
To celebrate the historic cultural links between Japan and NY, this large-scale group exhibition features the work of 33 contemporary Japanese artists who call NYC home, including Yoko Ono, Ushio Shinohara, Kunie Sugiura, Yuken Teruya, and Aya Uekawa. The show comprises a broad range of media — from painting and sculpture to video and photography — and covers diverse age groups, identities, experiences, and styles that will show the breadth and depth of contemporary Japanese art in NY. Visitors will experience multifaceted “homes” installed throughout the gallery, illuminating the ways in which Japanese artists have made their homes and careers here since the 1950s.

Envisioning Hudson Square Design Charrette
Friends of Hudson Square (FOHSQ) launched the “Envisioning Hudson Square” design charrette as a local planning initiative to explore the possibilities for the Hudson Square district — bounded by Leroy to Canal Streets and West to Hudson Streets. Endorsed by Manhattan Community Boards One and Two, the exhibition is designed to be a conversation starter. This grass-roots initiative will inform and encourage local elected officials to ask city officials to study zoning changes more carefully. The five NY-based firms that participated in the charrette were: Arquitectonica GEO, FLAnk, Lewis.Tsurumaki.Lewis Architects, SPaN, and Zakrzewski + Hyde Architects in association with Starr Whitehouse Landscape Architects and Planners.

arch schools: r(each)ing out

Galleries: Kohn Pedersen Fox Gallery, HLW Gallery, South Gallery

Last September, leading New York area architecture schools participated in an exhibition that set out to foster a closer connection between the schools, students, and the profession.

This summer will feature our third annual architecture schools exhibition, arch schools: r[each]ing out, devoted exclusively to the work of students. The AIA New York Chapter’s annual architecture schools exhibition demonstrates exemplary student work representing the 9 New York area architecture schools, whose deans sit on the Board of the AIA New York Chapter, and 8 invited schools, including the four interiors design programs in New York City. The schools are asked to submit work related to the 2007 New York Chapter’s presidential theme “Architecture Inside/Out”.

NACRE: Synthesized Space: Part II
Luca Bertini and Marco Antonini’s NACRE is an ongoing project in which data inconsistencies retrieved from the Internet bloom into a mutating, sprawling 3-D structure. Based on the structure of nacre, or “mother-of-pearl”, this chaotic structure is built from hexagonal platelets designed from information collected by a spider (an automatic computer program which crawls the Internet in search of data).

Steven Heller Master Series Award and Exhibition
The School of Visual Arts will honor Steven Heller with the Masters Series Award and retrospective exhibition. He is the author, co-author, and editor of over 100 books on graphic design, illustration, and political art, was an art director at the New York Times for 33 years, and is a columnist for the New York Times Book Review. Heller is also the co-founder and co-chair of the MFA Design Department and co-founder of the MFA Design Criticism Department at SVA.

Over 100 covers of the New York Times Book Review that Heller art directed, and a visual anthology of his major publications, with select volumes available to peruse will be on view. An adjacent video installation will feature interviews with co-authors Mirko Ilic, Lita Talarico, Seymour Chwast, Marshall Arisman, and Gail Anderson about their collaborative process. The centerpiece of the multimedia display will be a larger-than-life photo montage of Heller’s library with recorded commentary about his collection of design ephemera and its role in his research and writing. In a series of video podcasts specially commissioned for the exhibition, Heller will discuss design in the context of popular culture, politics and history.

Future City 20 | 21
A cycle of three exhibitions at The Skyscraper Museum’s Battery Park City gallery will explore connections between the American visions of the skyscraper city of the future in the early 20th century and Chinese cities today, principally Hong Kong and Shanghai. The first installation, New York Modern, highlights the city’s skyscraper visionaries — including Raymond Hood, Harvey Wiley Corbett, Hugh Ferriss — who imagined a metropolis of monumental setback skyscrapers, elevated highways and multi-level transit, and densely populated apartment precincts. On display are photographs, drawings, models, prints, rare books and periodicals, photographs, and film clips. Additional science fiction imagery, futuristic cartoons, and popular films bespeak both the anxieties and exhilaration of the dreams of a high-tech city of tomorrow.
