SCI-Arc Gallery Exhibition Debuts December 3
The Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) announces the book release of SCI-Arc Gallery 2002-10, produced by SCI-Arc Press and published by AADCU, Beijing. A discussion with gallery exhibitors and Director Eric Owen Moss will be held in SCI-Arc’s W.M. Keck Lecture Hall on Friday, December 3, 2010, at 7:00 pm. A book signing and reception will follow.
Los Angeles, CA, November 08, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Since 2002, SCI-Arc has commissioned international and local architects and designers to test their ideas through unique site-specific gallery installations. As part of these projects, each led a workshop in which SCI-Arc students collaborated in the fabrication and construction of the installation. Directed by Eric Owen Moss, the ongoing exhibition series is documented from ideation to realization in SCI-Arc Gallery 2002-10, a 670-page volume of the first 35 installations. Featured is a broad, yet idiosyncratic collection of today’s thought-provoking architects and designers – emerging/established, local/global, tangible/theoretical.
"What we know is our intention.
We intend to begin again, and again, and again.
We intend to sustain the fragile idea, the tentative thought,
the preliminary sensibility, the not-altogether clear hypothesis.
We intend to disestablish.
So we opened a gallery."
