EventCity: Change of Address (At the Usual Location)
11 Mar 2009 @ 3:09 PM
Let’s play word association. Approximately a thousand years ago, we stood with Staten Island Ferry Terminal architect Fred Schwartz on the pier of Pier 40, taking a break from the WorkAC-designed Van Alen show, The Good Life, which was curated by Official Edificial Top-Five-to-Seven ZoĆ« Ryan, who is currently at the Art Institute of Chicago, which just got a Modern Wing designed by Renzo Piano, who also did The Morgan, and is also the best museum architect in the world. End of line.
Schwartz introduced us to Jim Venturi, filmmaker and son of accidental Godfather of Postmodernism Robert Venturi and his architect wife Denise Scott Brown, authors of Learning from Las Vegas, which is where Dave Hickey lives, and designers of buildings ranging from Princeton’s Gordon Wu Hall, which is right next door to ARO’s new-ish School of Architecture addition, to the Lieb House. End of line.
Storefront for Art and Architecture, where we used to intern, is hosting a three-day event, which they’re calling a micro-exposition, as part of their ongoing EXYZY Situation Room exhibition, which will celebrate the Lieb House’s move from New Jersey to Long Island. The event starts tonight with a talk by Fred Schwartz and Jim Venturi. End of line.
Tomorrow, Bob and Denise talk “bold little ugly banal box.” End of line.
Friday morning, a house-holding barge sails up the East River. End of line.
End of lines.
