Opening Reception March 15, 6-8PM
'Speakers’ corners', a new performance and installation by Eyebeam Fellow Taeyoon Choi, will be presented at the main exhibition space of Eyebeam Art and Technology from March 1st to April 7th. Building upon previous projects ‘INVISIBLE' (7/2011, NYC) and ‘My friends, there is no friend’ (12/2011, Denmark), 'Speakers' corners' explore the notion of free speech and the various condition of democracies through interventions in the sites of historic protest and riot as well as contemporary privately owned public spaces in New York City.
What if mobile, self-sufficient living units were the building blocks for future cities? In a time when growing urban populations are faced with environmental, political, and economic instability, and when human and societal dislocation and relocation increasingly erode stable notions of dwelling, Eyebeam Fellow Mary Mattingly's Flock House project represents a group of migratory, sculptural living systems built collaboratively from reclaimed materials that merge with preexisting urban infrastructure. Join us for a conversation between Mary and Geoff Manaugh, author of the influential architecture blog BLDG BLOG and director of Studio-X NYC, the founding node in Columbia University's network of advanced research laboratories exploring the future of cities.
