MCD Speaker Series: Curatorial Experiments Between Art, Architecture + Design
January 28, 2020 @ 6:00 PM - 8:30 PM
Join MCD and Lukas Feireiss and Leopold Banchini for a Speaker Series event in conjunction with Survival Architecture and the Art of Resilience.
Presenting at the 2020 Venice Architecture Biennale, Lukas and Leo will discuss their project SHELTER .2020 and curatorial experiments between art, architecture and design.
Lukas Feireiss (1977, Berlin, Germany) is an international curator, artist, writer and founding director of Studiolo Berlin, a curatorial space for contemporary creativity. Feireiss is known for his role in the discussion and mediation of art, design and architecture in both theory and practice beyond disciplinary boundaries.
Leopold Banchini Architects is a multidisciplinary research team exploring the frontiers of space shaping. Deliberately ignoring borders and embracing globality, it aims to expend the traditional definitions of project making using DIY culture and eclecticism as means of emancipation. Deeply rooted in architectural history, it is interested as well in contemporary popular cultures as in vernacular traditions and crafts. Addressing architecture as a form of social action, it places political and environmental considerations at the very heart of its practice.
