  <Description><![CDATA[The Early Gothic Hall at The Cloisters reopened in the Spring of 2006 after a five-year renovation. Completely refurbished 13th-century limestone windows and two dozen panels of newly conserved and reinstalled stained glass, primarily from the 13th- and 14th-centuries, are among the objects on view. Four recently acquired and exceptional examples of German stained glass from the late-13th century glazing program for the convent church in Altenberg-an-der-Lahn are reunited in this new installation. The renovation of the Early Gothic Hall also features construction of two new limestone apertures in an interior wall (for the display of grisaille glass windows) and new lighting. The display in this room constitutes the largest and most varied group of 13th- and 14th-century panels outside Europe. Also returned to view are more than a dozen important Gothic sculptures and paintings from the Museum’s permanent collection, including the lifesize Virgin from the choir screen of Strasbourg Cathedral (mid-13th century) and a recently acquired late 13th-century head also from the region of Strasbourg on the Upper Rhine. As a result of a new protective glazing program installed along the exterior wall, rare examples of Gothic stained glass are now illuminated by natural daylight, as they were originally meant to be seen.

  <Description><![CDATA[The Campin Room at The Cloisters, the branch of the Metropolitan Museum devoted to the art and architecture of medieval Europe, recently reopened to the public following an extensive renovation. The gallery houses Robert Campin’s Annunciation Triptych (known as the Merode Triptych), which has been one of the masterworks at The Cloisters for nearly half a century. The new installation highlights the phenomenon of late medieval private devotion. Two new wall cases allow the exhibition of devotional objects formerly seen in the Treasury, and two important 15th-century stained-glass panels—one representing Christ as the Man of Sorrows, the other the Virgin as the Mater Dolorosa—have been installed in the central windows. Acquired in 1998, these panels are on view at The Cloisters for the first time and contribute greatly to the private devotional theme. New, more discreet lighting has been installed and the gallery walls have been re-plastered to match the original color. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[With a Single Step: Stories in the Making of America, MOCA’s new core exhibit, will bring to life the Museum’s unique historical content and birth a compelling art work by fusing itself with the architectural heart of its new home designed by Maya Lin on Centre Street.  Metaphorically and literally, this “heart” will ground visitors, and be the focal point of the “new MOCA experience.”  This presentation is an innovative approach to museum and exhibition design.  It will facilitate a new way of interacting with content: through the evocative use of space that stirs visitors’ emotion and breaks down barriers to deeper learning and understanding.

The core exhibition presents the diverse layers of the Chinese American experience while examining America’s journey as a nation of immigrants—from an historical overview of Chinese immigration to the United States, to the individual stories that reveal what it has meant to be Chinese in America at different moments in time, to the physical traces and images left behind by past generations for us to consider, reflect and reclaim.

A key element of the exhibition is its dialogue with Maya Lin’s architectural centerpiece – a sky lit courtyard at the heart of the museum. The exhibit wraps around and engages with the courtyard, which represents the idea of China – a collective origin, which for many after the first generation, becomes a constructed, rather than an actual, memory. Not unlike the rooms of a Chinese house, each section of the exhibit is connected to the courtyard via portals. Each one containing films of people narrating personal life stories, demonstrating how history is propelled by individual moments of decision-making in the face of circumstances larger than themselves. External walls dialogue with the inner, in order to provide the larger historical context for Chinese American struggles and achievements.

Thematically and chronologically, the exhibit reveals the complex layers of the Chinese American experience through six modules:

1) Go East! Go West!  examines how the flow and exchange of goods and people helped shape the formation of new identities, ideas, and perceptions of both Chinese and Americans during the 19th century.

2) America: Staking Claims explores the political climate in America leading up to the Chinese Exclusion Act, and its impact as the first federal law to restrict the immigration of a specific group based on nationality, defining in legal terms who could not “become American.”


3) Greetings from Chinatown shows how by the turn of the century, Chinatowns had sprung up in cities all across America forming an important economic and social network for Chinese Americans, as well as sites of cultural exchange in America’s urban centers.

4) Allies, Enemies? looks at how conflicts abroad dictated the fortunes of Chinese Americans at home.  While World War II brought about the eventual repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act, China’s Communist revolution fueled Red Scare targeting of Chinese in America.

5) Seeds of Change presents the great shifts in Chinese American communities during the latter half of the 20th century. The landmark Immigration Reform of 1965 helped revitalize and diversify the Chinese population, and a second generation of Chinese Americans came of age in a time of cultural activism and community organizing.

6) Made in America!? explores how globalization has transformed American culture as much as the circulation of American culture has influenced peoples and nations outside the U.S., and while globalization promotes new and complex versions of national identity, it also creates conditions for expressions of ethnicity and identity politics.

  <Description><![CDATA[The Morgan expansion project is the subject of a special exhibition that begins with a historical survey of the site from the 1850s through today. The expansion project is represented by drawings, models, and photographs.

The exhibition is organized by The Morgan Library &amp; Museum and the Renzo Piano Building Workshop and features materials from the conceptual design phase to the finished scheme.

The Renzo Piano Building Workshop's project for the Morgan follows an exceptional architectural legacy. The original library, designed by Charles McKim and opened for Pierpont Morgan's personal use a hundred years ago, is an American Renaissance icon. Of the numerous structures that once stood on the site now occupied by the Morgan, three remain: the Morgan house, the 1928 Annex, and McKim's masterpiece. Renzo Piano reckoned with these three landmarks as he brought practical and pleasing coherence to the complex. This installation is in three parts. The development of the Morgan's current property is traced from its beginning in the 1850s. It is not a static building history. Structures were put up, added to, altered, demolished—whatever their owners deemed necessary or desirable. The second part examines how Renzo Piano realized the Morgan's institutional goals and rationalized and developed the complex that he first encountered in 2000. The final section examines aspects of design development, and images of finished work link architectural drawings to completed construction.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The Center for Architecture Foundation brings built environment awareness to kindergarten through twelfth grade audiences. Our Learning By Design:NY in-school residency program began in 1991 and serves 2,100 students each year. Celebrating its ninth year, Programs@theCenter are our youth and family workshops that have grown steadily to serve 2,800 yearly. These award-winning programs inspire creative thinking, problem solving and civic activism; increase students’ visual literacy and appreciation of architecture and the design process; and introduce youth to careers connected to the built environment. The programs are led by experienced artists, designers, and architects who use real-world projects to help students understand the history, social context and impact of design as it connects to their own lives and communities.

Building Connections 2011 brings together a selection of student work from the diverse communities we serve. The projects exhibited showcase our hands-on, project-based approach to teaching that supports core subject learning both inside and outside of the classroom. Over the years, we have tested and refined our teaching methodology. We begin by building on students’ existing knowledge of the built environment, then introduce new images, ideas and vocabulary, to broaden students’ understanding of the topic and to strengthen observation skills. Through guided neighborhood walks, discussions and real-world analysis, students learn to ask questions and think critically to gain a better understanding of the elements of design and the design process. Hands on activities such as drawing, 2-D design and 3-D model-making equip students with the skills and sensibility needed to create their own designs. Presentation and reflection encourage students to communicate and refine their design ideas.

As we celebrate our 20th year of built environment education, we continue to work hard to provide our city’s youngest residents with access to the highest quality, creative, design-based education. Our programs help students grow and thrive and while some may be future designers. . .all will be designers of our future.

  <Description><![CDATA[Manhattan’s familiar street grid is a work in progress, an evolving creation that began with a bold vision by the city’s commissioners in 1811, but which has been altered and amended by generations of planners, builders, and advocates. What mark will future architects, private developers, and city officials leave on the grid? What new kinds of buildings will they construct within its blocks, and what new ways will they devise for organizing its streets?
 
To answer these questions, the Architectural League of New York, in partnership with the Museum of the City of New York and Architizer, issued a Call for Ideas inviting architects and urban designers to speculate about how Manhattan’s grid might be adapted, extended, or transformed in the future. The Unfinished Grid: Design Speculations for Manhattan presents the eight winning projects, all of which offer provocative ideas for the future of the city.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[On May 24, 2011, the Whitney Museum breaks ground on a new building designed by renowned architect Renzo Piano and located between the High Line and the Hudson River Park in the Meatpacking District. In this exhibition, renderings and a model reflecting the building’s innovative design are paired with artist Lawrence Weiner’s language piece HERE THERE &amp; EVERYWHERE; Piano’s design and Weiner’s words suggest that while art can be specific to a site and place, it represents a human cultural achievement that is ephemeral, everywhere, and universal.

  <Description><![CDATA[In December 2010, The Drawing Center launched ReDraw: The Capital Plan for 35 Wooster Street with the purchase of a 2,000-square-foot unit on the second floor of 35 Wooster Street, which will replace its leased space at 40 Wooster Street.

Plans for the new space have been designed by Claire Weisz and WXY Architecture + Urban Design, an internationally-recognized New York–based firm. ReDraw’s architectural program addresses specific exhibition, educational, and operational requirements, reinforcing The Drawing Center's mission to present the highest-quality cultural programming in galleries proportioned to facilitate a meaningful viewer experience—attributes that have made the institution one of the most respected, beloved, and distinctive non-profits in New York City.

The building project will connect the existing ground floor space to the newly-acquired second floor space and the lower level of the building. A new bookstore and a sky-lit Drawing Room gallery will join the existing visitor services desk and Main Gallery on the ground floor level. Offices and administrative spaces will move to the second floor, and the renovated lower level will accommodate a new education room, a Viewing Program meeting room, and the “Drawing Room 2” gallery, which will feature an audio and video media system for exhibitions and public programs. Integrating these spaces into one building will provide The Drawing Center with 50% more contiguous programmatic space.

The Drawing Center has suspended on-site programming to begin construction, with a projected re-opening date of April 2012.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[In 1902 American financier Pierpont Morgan (1837–1913) chose architect Charles Follen McKim (1847–1909) of the prominent firm McKim, Mead and White to design a library to house his growing collection of rare books and manuscripts. Adjacent to Morgan's home, which stood on the corner of Madison Avenue and 36th Street, McKim created a majestic structure in a classical style based upon villas of the Italian Renaissance. The exterior is constructed of Tennessee pink marble, the blocks set with such precision that virtually no mortar was used. A simple recessed portico is flanked by a pair of stone lionesses. Completed in 1906, Mr. Morgan's Library—as it was called for many years—is the historic heart of today's Morgan Library &amp; Museum.

In 2010 the Morgan restored the interior of the 1906 library to its original grandeur. A new lighting system was installed to illuminate the extraordinary murals and decor of the four historic rooms. Intricate marble surfaces and applied ornamentation were cleaned, period furniture was reupholstered, and original fixtures—including three chandeliers removed decades ago—were restored and reinstalled. A late-nineteenth-century Persian rug (similar to the one originally there) was laid in the grand East Room. The ornate ceiling of the librarian's office, or North Room, was cleaned, and visitors are able to enter the refurbished space—now a gallery—for the first time. New, beautifully crafted display cases throughout the 1906 library feature selections from the Morgan's collection of great works of art and literature from the ancient world to modern times. 

In 1966 the secretary of the interior designated Pierpont Morgan's 1906 library a national historic landmark. Both the exterior and interior of the library are also designated New York City landmarks.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[“Plywood,” explained &quot;Popular Science&quot; in 1948, “is a layercake of lumber and glue.” In the history of design, plywood is also an important modern material that has given 20th-century designers of everyday objects, furniture, and even architecture greater flexibility in shaping modern forms at an industrial scale. This installation features examples, drawn from MoMA's collection, of modern designs that take advantage of the formal and aesthetic possibilities offered by plywood, from around 1930 through the 1950s. Archival photographs illuminate the process of design and manufacture in plywood. Iconic furniture by Alvar Aalto, Charles and Ray Eames, Eero Saarinen, and Arne Jacobsen appear alongside organic platters by Tapio Wirkkala (1951), Sori Yanagi’s Butterfly Stool (1956), an architectural model for a prefabricated house by Marcel Breuer (1943), and experimental designs for plywood in the aeronautics industry.

  <Description><![CDATA[&quot;The Greatest Grid: The Master Plan of Manhattan, 1811-2011&quot; celebrates the 200th anniversary of the Commissioners’ Plan of 1811, the foundational document that established Manhattan’s famous street grid. Featuring an original hand-drawn map of New York's planned streets and avenues prepared by the Commission in 1811, as well as other rare historic maps, photographs and prints of the evolution of the city's streets, and original manuscripts and publications that document the city’s physical growth, the exhibition examines the grid’s initial design, implementation, and evolution. The Greatest Grid traces the enduring influence of the 1811 plan as the grid has become a defining feature of the city, shaping its institutions and public life.  

The exhibition is accompanied by a book of the same name, edited by Hilary Ballon of NYU, who also curated the exhibition, and co-published by the Museum and Columbia University Press.  ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Foreclosed: Rehousing the American Dream is an exploration of new architectural possibilities for cities and suburbs in the aftermath of the recent foreclosure crisis. During summer 2011, five interdisciplinary teams of architects, urban planners, ecologists, engineers, and landscape designers worked in public workshops at MoMA PS1 to envision new housing and transportation infrastructures that could catalyze urban transformation, particularly in the country’s suburbs. Responding to The Buell Hypothesis, a research report prepared by the Buell Center at Columbia University, teams—lead by MOS, Visible Weather, Studio Gang, WORKac, and Zago Architecture—focused on a specific location within one of five “megaregions” across the country to come up with inventive solutions for the future of American suburbs. This installation presents the proposals developed during the architects-in-residence program, including a wide array of models, renderings, animations, and analytical materials.

  <Description><![CDATA[More than forty years ago, New York City took ownership of 14 square blocks on the Lower East Side for urban renewal and “slum clearance.” Its legacy is a row of parking lots on the south side of Delancey Street. Few renewal projects have been so contested, and very few of the originally-planned buildings were built. This is SPURA, the Seward Park Urban Renewal Area, one of the largest underdeveloped city-owned parcels of land.

The Layered SPURA / City Studio project, headed by Gabrielle Bendiner-Viani, explores this complex site using a hybrid approach of pedagogy, art and research, and involves long-term collaborations between Lower East Side community organizations and students in Bendiner-Viani’s City Studio, a part of the New School’s Urban Programs. This exhibition, a culmination of four years of student, faculty, and community collaboration, does not suggest solutions for a place beleaguered by top-down planning, but rather hopes to spur new conversations amongst people with different points of view about SPURA’s past, present and future.

The project has collaborated with many local community and art organizations including Good Old Lower East Side, Pratt Center for Community Development, Place Matters, common room, Buscada, Henry Street Settlement’s Abrons Art Center and Creative Time.

Student artists involved in four years of the project include : Oscar Brett, Sarah Charles, Anastasia Ehrich, Jamie Florence, Savannah Foster, Zachary Fried, Matt Fujibayashi, Kara Gionfriddo, Joshua Guerra, Leijia Hanrahan, Anke Hendriks, Jaclyn Hersh, Vinh Hua, Evan Iacoboni, Candace Kiersky, Sohee Kim, Lila Knisely, John Lake, Sam Lewis, Rachael London, Hannah Lyons, Claudie Mabry, Stephanie Messer, Corey Mullee, Amy Nguyen, Katherine Priebe, David Privat-Gilman, Ian Pugh, Adam Schleimer, Kaushal Shrestha, Matthew Taylor, Gabriel Tennen, Samantha Washburn-Baroni, Brittney Williams, Emily Winkler-Morey, Alexander Wood and Hannah Zingre.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Murray Guy presents an exhibition with Dan Graham and Corey McCorkle, bringing together works that take up the design and architecture of gardens. Ranging from the folly-filled leisure grounds of an eighteenth century chateau to the &quot;corporate arcadias&quot; which occupy the atriums of many post-1960s office towers, both artists engage the histories of garden architecture and its attendant fantasies of nature, enlightenment, contemplation, antiquity, leisure, and utopia.

Among the works on view is Corey McCorkle’s video Hermitage (2010), which takes as its subject the dormant grounds of an eighteenth century leisure garden that was a favorite of the Surrealists as well as George Bataille. Planned by the French aristocrat François Racine de Monville as a counterpart to the rationally organized gardens of nearby Ermenonville, the Désert de Retz held up to twenty pavilions (including faux Bedouin tents, ornamental Gothic priories and numerous grottos) before it closed during the French Revolution. McCorkle animates the landscape, producing a series of narratives, roles, and emotional states in response to a design that—characterized by fantasy and role-play—anticipates the amusement parks of the 20th century. Meanwhile in Tower of Shadows McCorkle brings to life Le Corbusier's &quot;Tower of Shadows&quot; in Chandigarh, India, an unfinished structure which was designed “brisesoleil”
to block as much sunlight as possible. Filmed from dawn to dusk on the shortest day of the year (the day on which the least possible amount of light would enter), McCorkle treats this folly as an allegorical ruin of a modernist, utopian dream of integrating architecture and nature.

Dan Graham’s photographs from the project Private &quot;Public&quot; Space: The New Corporate Atrium Garden show the landscaped interiors of office buildings that take up the dream of the &quot;earth as garden.” In these privately-owned yet “public” spaces, &quot;green-and-white metal openwork chairs and green lettering on shop windows connote a suburban arcadia in the midst of a city – an urban fantasy of the picturesque brought into the central city.&quot; In contrast, Two-Way Mirror Bridge and Triangular Pavilion to Existing Mill House for Domaine de Kerguéhennec (1987) is an insertion into the grounds of a Breton chateau originally landscaped in the French formal style and later redesigned as an English picturesque garden and then as a public park (with elements of all three schemes remaining today.) Converted to an art center in the 1980s as part of the French government's plan to decentralize cultural institutions, Graham responded to the triangular roof of a 19th century faux &quot;mill house,” proposing to build two triangular structures, one standing upright like a gazebo and the other sitting on its side to form a bridge across a nearby stream (with a base resembling a urban sidewalk grate.)

None of the works in this exhibition has been exhibited previously in New York, and they are presented here in a space just adjacent to the High Line, one of the most ambitious new models of the urban garden. 

The work of Corey McCorkle (b. 1969 La Crosse, Wisconsin) has been included in numerous institutions around the world including Centre Pompidou, Paris; Haus der Kunst, Munich; Louisiana Museum, Copenhagen; Kunst-Werke, Berlin; Kunsthalle Bern, Bern; and The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. Recently McCorkle’s work has been presented at the MuHKA, Antwerp; ArtPace San Antonio; and at FRAC Ile de France, Paris and at FRAC Lorraine, Metz. A major monograph on McCorkle’s worth is forthcoming from Ludion Publishers.

Dan Graham (b. 1942 Urbana, Illinois) has exhibited widely and extensively since the mid-1960s. Among the numerous retrospectives of his work was Dan Graham: Beyond, on view in 2009 at The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; The Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, and The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. Graham has an exhibition opening February 2 with Robert Mangold at Galerie Nicolai Wallner, Copenhagen, and an exhibition around the theme of rock music opening on February 10 at Hauser &amp; Wirth, Zurich. Graham’s Alteration to a Suburban House (1978) is currently on view at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, and hewill give a talk at the museum on February 23.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Fifteen Islands for Robert Moses is a site-specific art infiltration into the Panorama of the City of New York, which was built for the 1964 World’s Fair by urban planner Robert Moses and is now a centerpiece of the Queens Museum of Art. Artist and theorist Greg Sholette made and placed new islands about the Panorama’s waterways, where they exist as silent, post-9/11 observers of the City’s past, present, and future. Modeled in the same style as the Panorama, each island represents Sholette’s interpretation of a question he posed to a group of other artists and art theorists: “If you could add an island to New York City, what would that new landmass be like?” Touching on issues from environmental and economic justice to the overflowing archives of human memory and immigrant’s rights, the new fantasy islands interrupt the familiar geography of the Panorama, subtly haunting a favorite destination for students, tourists, and urban planners. Surrounding the Panorama is a series of posters about the project’s participating collaborators: Hana Shams Ahmed, Brett Bloom, Larry Bogad, Marc Fischer, Aaron Gach/Center for Tactical Magic, Libertad Guerra, Dara Greenwald, Marisa Jahn, Karl Lorac/Themm!, Ann Messner, Ted Purves, Rasha Salti, Dread Scott and Jenny Polak, Jeffrey Skoller, and Nato Thompson. ]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Roberto Burle Marx (1909-1994, Brazil) is recognized as one of the most influential – if not the most influential – landscape architects of the 20th century. “Tablecloth/Toalha” will be comprised of several late works, mainly executed during his stay in Constância at José Ramoa’s, an art dealer and collector with whom Burle Marx developed an intense friendship.
 
The exhibition is titled after a 141”x59” painted tablecloth specifically designed to fit Ramoa’s dining table. Just like another tablecloth on display at Sítio Burle Marx in Guaratiba, Rio de Janeiro, this work clearly demonstrates Burle Marx’s originality as a multifaceted artist whose work cannot be exclusively categorized as landscape architecture. Lauro Cavalcanti – curator of the retrospective exhibition “Roberto Burle Marx 100 anos: A permanência do Instável” – stated that Burle Marx “…painted every day in the morning and in the afternoon he did his gardens” and did not enjoy the fact that his paintings were relegated to a secondary position.
 
Also on display will be 12 india-ink works on paper, dated from 1973 to 1990, which reveal Burle Marx’s loose proficiency. While dispensing color – something inherently his due to his activity as a landscape architect – Burle Marx still follows the same provocative abstract morphology that characterized South-American art during the second half of the 20th century, providing the viewer some hints on issues like urbanism and landscaping. Along with these works some never before seen letters and photography of Burle Marx and Ramoa will be available.
 
“Tablecloth/Toalha” is an exhibition that wants to show Burle Marx’s activity not only as a landscape architect, but also as a prolific and inventive artist. In the end, one might question whether it is the architectural grammar that is present on Burle Marx’s paintings or the pictorial language that is present in his landscape projects.
 
Roberto Burle Marx was born in São Paulo in 1909 and died in 1994 in Rio de Janeiro. Marx studied at the National School of Fine Arts of Rio de Janeiro where he became a close friend of Oscar Niemeyer with whom he would collaborate throughout his life, namely at the “Ibirapuera Park” (São Paulo, 1954) and at the “Monumental Axis” (Brasília, 1961). His most famous landscape projects are: “Flamengo Park” (Rio de Janeiro, 1965), the Copacabana promenade (Rio de Janeiro, 1970), “Inhotim Park” (Brumadinho, 1984), among others. Burle Marx’s works have been shown in the Gulbenkian Foundation, Lisbon (“Roberto Burle Marx,” 1973), The Museum of Modern Art, New York (“Roberto Burle Marx: The Unnatural Art of the Garden,” 1991), Paço Imperial, Rio de Janeiro (“Roberto Burle Marx 100 anos: A permanência do Instável,” 2008), New York Botanical Garden (“The Orchid Show: Brazilian Modern,” 2009) and his work is represented in the permanent collections of The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Museu de Arte de São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand; among others.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Storefront for Art and Architecture presents 007_Urban_Songline by Allard van Hoorn. The exhibition is the artist's first solo exhibition in New York and will continue his series of works that explore the tradition of Songlines through a site-specific, newly commissioned work that will literally transform the Acconci/Holl façade into a sound instrument. 
 
The origin of Songlines [or Dreaming Tracks] can be traced to Australian indigenous systems for navigation and caretaking of land achieved by mapping space through the creation of music based on the topography of land. Throughout the duration of 007_Urban_Songline, van Hoorn will create a series of Dreaming Tracks utilizing the changing morphology of the Storefront façade and the sounds emerging from the urban sonic context of the gallery.
 
The installation will consist of an interwoven network of strings throughout the façade and the gallery space that will transform the facade into an interactive, responsive musical instrument. Storefront's façade contains 12 panels that pivot vertically or horizontally to open the entire length of the gallery directly onto the street. When a panel of the façade moves, the strings will physically activate the totality of the façade and acoustically transform the space of the gallery making the different spatial transformations audible for visitors. Visitors will become performers and will be encouraged to manipulate the installation as they transcend the space by moving the panels of the façade and stretching and playing the fields of strings with their bodies, thus constructing and transforming the acoustic and visual topography of Storefront.
 
The project will allow the visitor to experiment on an architectural scale the connection between sound, tension, materiality and space. 
 
Orchestrating the sounds between urban context and installation content, van Hoorn will strategically distribute a system of microphones throughout the different acoustic nodes around the gallery and its surroundings that will all merge into a synthesized, real time Songline audible to visitors in the gallery. The continuous Urban Songline produced throughout the length of the exhibition will be constantly streamed live and recorded and available in the Storefront Sound Archive.
 
For the opening night of the exhibition, van Hoorn will perform a concert of 7 Urban Songlines recorded in the space throughout the pre-opening days. In addition to performances held in the space throughout the length of the exhibition, Storefront will host events to discuss the theme of Public City Sounds; including a panel discussion moderated by the artist with sound engineers and architects. During the closing event, which will take place on February 18, 2012 at 7 PM, a live performance will mix different versions of the Storefront Songline that will then be cut live into vinyl and given away.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[The National Academy’s Annual exhibition features works by over 100 artists and architects juxtaposing contemporary masters with emerging and mid-career artists. 

This year’s new format has been designed to reveal the cross-generational dialogue occurring in the art world by showcasing Academicians and other invited artists and architects.

&quot;Presenting three generations of artists and architects, this exhibition illustrates the continuum of American art,&quot; says Marshall Price, the Academy’s Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art. &quot;The new format contextualizes contemporary art, indicating an evolution to 'new.' With a nod to the Academy's historic Annual, the 2012 exhibition is a forum for divergent aesthetic inclinations and in some cases for social issues being addressed by artists and architects.&quot;

This vibrant cross-generational exchange is evident throughout the Annual from the paintings of Philip Pearlstein and Ellen Altfest, to abstractions by Karl Benjamin and Stephen Westfall. Similarly in architecture, Chicago-based architect and 2011 MacArthur “Genius” Award recipient Jeanne Gang has inherited the mantle from Laurence Booth in this city rich in architectural history.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Haunch of Venison presents the first U.S. exhibition of Thomas Heatherwick, one of Britain’s most celebrated architect designers. Heatherwick’s designs engage in the spectrum of architecture, engineering and public art. He has worked on a diverse range of projects from buildings, bridges to handbags and furniture. His British pavilion won the top prize for the Shanghai World Expo in 2010 and he was awarded three RIBA awards in 2010, including the prestigious Lubetkin Prize 2010 and has been selected to design the 2012 Olympic cauldron.  Extruding and Spinning is an exhibition of Heatherwick’s first two high-end furniture projects; Extrusion, a series of extruded benches and chairs and Spun Coriolis, a series of spinning metal chairs for which he was awarded Design Medal at the London Design Festival 2010.
Highlights of the exhibition will include four extruded, mirror  polished, nickel plated, aluminum benches made without fixtures or fittings  – the world’s first single component of metal furniture, extruded by machine.  Heatherwick Studio commissioned a specially designed die through which a single billet of  aluminum  was ‘squeezed’ into a chair profile, complete with  legs, seat and back. The aluminum emerges in a raw unpolished finish, which is then cut and sometimes shaped; each cut piece of bench then undergoes 300 hours of polishing. 
The project, 18 years since conception, takes technology used in the aerospace industry to produce the world’s largest ever extruded piece of metal. The graceful aluminum pieces each have a unique, dramatic form that combines the back, seat and legs into one element. Until now, extrusion technology has been limited to smaller dimension profiles, and since graduating from the RCA in 1994, Heatherwick has been searching for a machine capable of producing a chair with legs, seat and back from a single component. A second highlight of the exhibition is ‘Spun Coriolis ’ a functional chair formed from a single profile rotated through 360 degrees. The design transforms the domestic seat into a beautifully rendered spinning top. Each chair is assembled with six spinnings of thick metal, welded together and polished to give a uniform single form. The handmade spun pieces are created by pressing large sheets of metal against a rotating cast iron form using a large paddle.
The concept of this new design evolved from Heatherwick’s interest in the traditional manufacturing technique used for making large timpani drums in order to create a design using rotational symmetry while asking the question  – could a functional chair be formed from a single profile rotated through 360 degrees?  Spun Coriolis demonstrates Heatherwick’s interest in challenging traditional rules of design by transforming a static piece of sculpture into a playful piece of design. When upright Spun Coriolis is a gleaming sculptural vessel and it is only when it is lent on its side that the playful possibilities of its form come to light; Spun Coriolis allows the sitter to swivel in a circular rocking motion, including being able to rotate in a complete circle. Spun Coriolis chairs are made in limited edition series in different finishes like stainless steel or copper, each series signed and dated, some are rippled and others smooth or with a patinated finish. Heatherwick will make no more than 35 chairs in total, one of which was recently acquired for MoMA’s permanent collection. Thomas Heatherwick (b.1970) founded the Heatherwick Studio in London in 1994 after graduating from the RCA. Today, the practice operates from a combined studio and workshop in King’s Cross, London where a team of architects, designers and makers work on projects ranging from buildings and bridges to products and large scale works of art. The studio’s work includes La Maison Unique, the flagship store for luxury French brand, in New York Longchamp, multi-award winning East Beach Café, Littlehampton, and bridge, Paddington.  A major exhibition of Thomas Heatherwick's architecture and design will open at The Victoria &amp; Albert Museum in 
London in 2012 and the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas will host a survey exhibition in the fall of 2014 before touring to other American museums and institutions.]]></Description>
