<p><strong>Group Tour<br />
<em>Small Scale, Big Change: New Architectures of Social Engagement</em><br />
Andres Lepik</strong><br />
Friday, October 15, 2010<br />
9:30 a.m.<br />
The Museum of Modern Art<br />
<a href="http://archleague.org/site/wp-ical.php?post=8797" title="add to calendar">add to calendar</a></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Tickets for this tour are sold out.  If you would like to be added to the wait list, email anderson@archleague.org.</strong></span></p>
<p>Andres Lepik, Curator in the Department of Architecture and Design, will lead a tour of <em>Small Scale, Big Change: New Architectures of Social Engagement</em>.  The show explores contemporary architecture as a powerful means for improving social conditions, focusing on eleven noteworthy built or under-construction projects in underserved communities around the world.</p>
<p><a title="Rural Studio, Auburn University&lt;br&gt;$20K House VIII,  Newbern, Alabama. 2009 &lt;br&gt;Image: Timothy Hursley" href="http://archleague.org/site/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/moma-RS1.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-8797];player=img;"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-9021" title="moma-RS1" src="http://archleague.org/site/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/moma-RS1-535x420.jpg" alt="moma-RS1" width="257" height="202" /></a>Concentrating on a group of architects who confront inequality using the tools of design, <em>Small Scale, Big Change</em> examines the ways these architects engage with social, economic, and political circumstances to develop positive architectural interventions that begin with an understanding of and deference to a community. <em>Small Scale, Big Change: New Architectures of Social Engagement</em> is organized by Andres Lepik, Curator, and Margot Weller, Curatorial Assistant, Department of Architecture and Design, The Museum of Modern Art.</p>
<p>Without sacrificing aesthetics, the eleven projects—situated in the United States, Chile, Venezuela, Brazil, France, Burkina Faso, South Africa, Bangladesh, and Lebanon—reveal a specificity of place, with architectural solutions emerging from sustained research into local conditions and close collaboration with communities. These radically pragmatic projects, which include schools, community centers, housing, and infrastructural interventions, signal a change in the longstanding dialogue between architecture and its environs, wherein the architect’s roles, methods, and responsibilities are dramatically reconsidered. The exhibition presents a selection of materials on each project including models, drawings, videos, large-scale photographs, and sketchbooks. Additionally, three Internet-based networks—The 1%, Open Architecture Network, and urbaninform—extend the exhibition’s scope beyond individual projects to include stakeholders in various areas of practice around the world. These networks act as forums in which community leaders, architects, and non-governmental organizations share information and experience.</p>
<p>The architects and projects include: Diébédo Francis Kéré: Primary School, Gando, Burkina Faso, 1999–2001; Anna Heringer: METI – Handmade School, Rudrapur, Bangladesh, 2004–06; Michael Maltzan Architecture: Inner-City Arts, Los Angeles, California, 1993–2008; Frédéric Druot, Anne Lacaton, and Jean Philippe Vassal: Transformation of Tour Bois-le-Prêtre, Paris, France, 2006–11; Hashim Sarkis A.L.U.D.: Housing for the Fishermen of Tyre, Tyre, Lebanon, 1998–2008; Urban-Think Tank: Metro Cable, Caracas, Venezuela 2007–10; Noero Wolff Architects: Red Location Museum of Struggle, Port Elizabeth, South Africa, 1998–2005; Jorge Mario Jáuregui/Metrópolis Porjectos Urbanos: Manguinhos Complex, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 2005–10; Elemental: Quinta Monroy Housing, Iquique, Chile, 2003–05; Estudio Teddy Cruz, Casa Familiar: Living Rooms at the Border and Senior Housing with Childcare, San Ysidro, California, 2001–present; and Rural Studio, Auburn University: $20K House VIII (Dave’s House), Newbern, Alabama, 2009</p>

The facade &#8211; composed of 1,154 clear and color integral glass panels &#8211; translates the brick and terra cotta of the surrounding neighborhood into an energy-efficient exterior.</p>
<p>Envisioned as a center for campus life, the 98,000 square foot building includes architecture and painting studios, a 500-seat performance space, black box theatre, cafe, dining room, reading room, classrooms, and exhibition galleries.</p>

These creative solutions are intended to dramatically change our relationship to one of the city’s great open spaces.   This installation presents the proposals developed during the architects-in-residence program, including a wide array of models, drawings, and analytical materials.</p>
<p>The five teams were led by Architecture Research Office (ARO) and dlandstudio; Lewis.Tsurumaki.Lewis (LTL Architects); Matthew Baird Architects; nARCHITECTS; and SCAPE.</p>
<p>This exhibition is organized by Barry Bergdoll, The Philip Johnson Chief Curator of Architecture and Design.   The exhibition is made possible by The Rockefeller Foundation. It is the first of five exhibitions in the series Issues in Contemporary Architecture, supported by Andre Singer.</p>

<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>This group tour is currently at capacity. If you would like to be added to the wait list, please email Nick Anderson at <a href="mailto:%20anderson@archleague.org" target="_blank">anderson@archleague.org</a>.</strong></span></p>
<p>David van der Leer, Assistant Curator for Architecture and Design, will lead a group tour of <em>Contemplating the Void: Interventions in the Guggenheim Museum</em>, an exhibition of renderings of speculative projects from over 200 artists, architects, and designers asked to imagine their dream interventions in the Guggenheim Museum’s central rotunda.  Attendees will also have the chance to see Anish Kapoor’s sculptural installation, “Memory.”</p>
<p><a title="MAD Architects (Yansong Ma), Beijing&lt;br&gt;State Fair Guggenheim, 2009&lt;br&gt;Digital print, 96.5 x 68.6 cm&lt;br&gt;Artwork © MAD" href="http://archleague.org/site/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/CTV-V.221_MAD.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-6258];player=img;"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-6262" title="CTV-V.221_MAD" src="http://archleague.org/site/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/CTV-V.221_MAD-535x753.jpg" alt="CTV-V.221_MAD" width="187" height="264" /></a>Since its opening in 1959, the Frank Lloyd Wright–designed Guggenheim building has served as an inspiration for invention, challenging artists and architects to react to its eccentric, organic design. The central void of the rotunda has elicited many unique responses over the years, which have been manifested in both site specific solo shows and memorable exhibition designs. For the building’s 50th anniversary, the Guggenheim Museum invited more than two hundred artists, architects, and designers to imagine their dream interventions in the space. Organized by Nancy Spector, Chief Curator, and David van der Leer, Assistant Curator for Architecture and Design, the exhibition will feature renderings of these visionary projects in a salon-style installation that will emphasize the rich and diverse range of the proposals received.</p>
<p>Submissions were received from all over the world from a wide range of artists, designers, and architects, including emerging as well as established practitioners. For a complete list of participating architects, designers, and artists, click <a href="http://archleague.org/PDFs/ParticipantsList.pdf">here</a>.</p>

<p>David Revere McFadden, Chief Curator and Vice President for Programs and Collections at the Museum of Arts and Design, will lead a group tour of <em>Slash: Paper Under the Knife</em>, an exhibition exploring paper as a creative medium across the arts.</p>
<p><em>Slash: Paper Under the Knife</em> explores the phenomenon of cut paper in contemporary art, showcasing the work of artists who reach beyond the traditional role of paper as a neutral surface.  The exhibition features 12 new site-specific installations and other new and recent work by over 50 contemporary artists, including Thomas Demand, Olafur Eliasson, Tom Friedman, Nina Katchadourian, Chris Kenny, Judy Pfaff, Tomas Rivas, and Kara Walker.</p>

The processes and techniques used in these investigations include burning, tearing, perforating, and shredding paper as well as cutting with knives, scissors, and lasers. Some artists work slowly, cutting intricate designs with painstaking patience, while others slash and crumple with performative energy.  Amongst the eight thematic groupings of the show are “Cutting as Topography: Exploring Landscape,” which explores landscape real and imagined; and “Structure and Space: Slicing Architecture,” which takes the role of paper beyond the simple model or maquette, and explores new possibilities in the interrelationship between flat paper, three-dimensional space, and the built environment.</p>
<p>Prior to his appointment in 1997 at the Museum of Arts and Design, McFadden served as Curator of Decorative Arts and Assistant Director for Collections and Research at Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, Smithsonian Institution for 16 years. He was President of the Decorative Arts and Design Committee of the International Council of Museums for six years. McFadden has organized over 120 exhibitions on art, decorative arts, and design and is author of more than 150 publications, catalogues, and articles. He has been awarded the Presidential Design award three times, has received knighthoods for cultural service from Finland and Sweden, and was named Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres of France.</p>

Eero Saarinen: Shaping the Future<br />
Donald Albrecht</strong><br />
Thursday, December 10, 2009<br />
4:00 p.m.<br />
Museum of the City of New York<br />

<p>Donald Albrecht, Curator of Architecture and Design at the Museum of the City of New York and curator of <em>Eero Saarinen:  Shaping the Future</em>, will lead a tour of the architect’s first ever museum retrospective.  The exhibition will feature never-before-seen sketches, models, photographs, furnishings, and a specially commissioned documentary film, which includes interviews with Saarinen’s collaborators.</p>
<p>Eero Saarinen played a pivotal role in building a new, post-war America throughout the ambitious and optimistic 1950s and 1960s. His clients, many of the leading corporations, universities, and other institutions of the time, and thereby his buildings projected America’s image nationally and internationally. Highlights of the exhibition will include Saarinen’s seminal projects, which embodied the aspirations and values of mid-twentieth century America.</p>
<p><em>Eero Saarinen:  Shaping the Future</em> is organized by the Finnish Cultural Institute in New York, the Museum of Finnish Architecture in Helsinki, and the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C., with the support of the Yale University School of Architecture.  The impetus for this Finnish-American collaboration was the donation of the Eero Saarinen and Associates office archives in 2002 to the Yale University Library.  Michael Beirut of Pentagram served as the graphic designer for the exhibition and its accompanying publication. The Museum of the City of New York installation is designed by Wendy Evans Joseph Architecture.</p>

<p>Curator Barry Bergdoll will lead a tour of the exhibition <em>Bauhaus 1919-1933: Workshops for Modernity</em>, the first comprehensive treatment by MoMA of the Bauhaus since 1938. The show with over 400 works examines the Bauhaus in its historical moment from 1919 to 1933—the exact years of the tumultuous tenure of the Weimar Republic—and considers it as a vibrant school rather than solely as an artistic movement.</p>
<p>The Bauhaus school in Germany—the most famous and influential school of avant-garde art in the twentieth century—brought together artists, architects, and designers in an extraordinary conversation about the nature of art in the modern age.  Aiming to rethink the very form of contemporary life, the students and faculty of the Bauhaus made the school the venue for a dazzling array of experiments in the visual arts that had a transformative effect on the 1920s and 1930s and profoundly shaped our contemporary visual world.  The exhibition brings together an extraordinarily broad range of the school’s productions, including industrial design, furniture, architecture, graphics, photography, textiles, ceramics, theater and costume design, painting, and sculpture. It includes works by famous faculty members and well-known students including Anni Albers, Josef Albers, Herbert Bayer, Marianne Brandt, Marcel Breuer, Lyonel Feininger, Walter Gropius, Vasily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, László Moholy-Nagy, Lucia Moholy, Lilly Reich, Oskar Schlemmer, and Gunta Stölzl, as well as less well-known, but equally innovative, artists.</p>
<p>The exhibition is organized by Barry Bergdoll, the Philip Johnson Chief Curator of Architecture and Design, and Leah Dickerman, Curator, Department of Painting and Sculpture, The Museum of Modern Art, in collaboration with a cross-departmental group of MoMA colleagues, in the spirit of the Bauhaus.  It is also organized in collaboration with a consortium of the three Bauhaus collections in Germany: Bauhaus-Archiv Berlin, Stiftung Bauhaus Dessau, and Klassik Stiftung Weimar, a partnership that has only been possible since the reunification of Germany.</p>
<p><strong>Reservations are required</strong>.  Due to the limited number of tickets and to facilitate fair access across our membership, reservations are limited to<strong> members only</strong>.

<p>With the world in the throes of a recession and foreclosures redefining streetscapes in neighborhoods throughout the country, the Queens Museum of Art presents Red Lines Housing Crisis Learning Center, a large‐scale installation of models, drawings, photographs, and videos by artist/designer Damon Rich, melding playful Sesame Street style with do‐it‐yourself investigations into the intricacies of real estate finance. For Red Lines, Rich presents the history and material culture behind the current economic crisis in the form of an experimental site for learning. The exhibition allows visitors to explore the spikes and troughs of interest rates in the form of a plywood graph 40 feet long and 14 feet tall; enter a looming bust of Frederick Babcock, pioneer of real estate appraisal; and walk through a photographic landscape of houses in Detroit and its suburbs. Photographs and video interviews with players in the field—from community activists to investment bankers—transform abstract financial markets into networks of, if not humane, then human positions.</p>
<p>The exhibition focuses on places like 1970s Chicago and contemporary Detroit and Newark where private lending practices,<a title="Block Buster&lt;br&gt;Damon Rich, 2008" href="http://archleague.org/site/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/DamonRich_BlockBuster.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-2288];player=img;"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-2289" title="DamonRich_BlockBuster" src="http://archleague.org/site/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/DamonRich_BlockBuster-190x145.jpg" alt="DamonRich_BlockBuster" width="190" height="145" /></a> government legislation, and race combine in an explosive mix, before turning its gaze to New York. To address the epidemic of foreclosures in New York, Rich uses the Museum’s Panorama to map the homes filed for foreclosure during 2008, drawing attention to entire neighborhoods devastated throughout the city. For each city block with more than three foreclosures in 2008, Rich has placed a fluorescent pink triangle on the model. What results is a view of the city with a wide swath of foreclosures cutting through the predominantly African‐American and Latino neighborhoods of Queens and Brooklyn.</p>
<p>Damon Rich is an artist and designer, and is the founder of the Center for Urban Pedagogy (CUP). His exhibitions use video, sculpture, graphics, and photography to investigate the political economy of the built environment. His work has been exhibited internationally at venues including the Storefront for Art and Architecture and Sculpture Center, Canadian Center for Architecture, the 2008 Venice Biennale of Architecture, and Netherlands Architecture Institute. In 1997, he founded the Center for Urban Pedagogy (CUP), a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the quality of public participation in urban planning and community design, where he served as Creative Director for 10 years. In 2007, Damon was selected as a Loeb Fellow in Advanced Environmental Studies at the Harvard Graduate School of Design and an Artist‐in‐Residence at the MIT Center for Advanced Visual Studies, where he developed Red Lines. Rich currently lives and works in Newark, New Jersey.</p>
