74 Things by NEMESTUDIO

San Francisco Bay Area-based practice NEMESTUDIO is presenting 74 Things, an exhibition that positions the Knowlton Hall Banvard Gallery at The Ohio State University as “ a space of architecture’s own making, assembly, and unmaking.” As the exhibition title suggests, the installation features 74 objects: “thirty-three drawings, fourteen podiums, eight models, six videos, two backdrops, two photoshoot lights, two dollies, one ladder, one water-bottle, and five headphones,” according to the project text. 

The items work to present “architecture somewhere in between representation and construction,” while also highlighting the construction site-like nature of architectural production. 

The exhibition is currently on view until February 6, 2020.

Prospecting Ocean by Armin Linke

Columbia University's GSAPP will be exhibiting Prospecting Ocean, a “multimedia artistic research project” developed by Armin Linke that delves into the ways in which scientific, economic, and legal phenomena interact with and impact the world’s oceans. The exhibition is co-organized by GSAPP and TBA21–Academy, and features a variety of exhibition materials, including filmed interviews with scientists, policymakers, and legal experts. It builds on research presented by Linke and Stefanie Hessler, Director of Kunsthall Trondheim, in their 2019 book of the same name from MIT Press. 

The exhibition is co-curated by GSAPP Director of Exhibitions Irene Sunwoo and Hessler and is set to run at the Arthur Ross Architecture Gallery in Buell Hall on the Columbia University campus between March 26 and June 27, 2020.

Yale University School of Architecture

Swissness Applied by Architecture Office

Swissness Applied, a playful exhibition created by Architecture Office is currently on view at the Yale Architecture Gallery at Yale University. 

The research-oriented exhibition focuses, according to gallery text, on “the transformation of European immigrant towns in the United States, all of whom share the common aspiration of preserving and perpetuating the architecture of their cultural heritage” by highlighting the stylistic qualities of “mutated” traditional European architectural typologies as deployed in these towns. The exhibition uses the architecture of New Glarus, Wisconsin as the basis for a series of architectural investigations aimed at surveying, interpreting, and re-deploying the stylistic markers of these styles, generating a collection of models depicting both real and fictitious architectural works. 

The exhibition is on view through February 15, 2020.
