….
SUPERFRONT is proud to present UNPLANNED: Research and Experiments at the Urban Scale, the first SUPERFRONT LA exhibit of 2010. A group exhibit with more than twenty participants, UNPLANNED spans architecture, urban design, industrial design, conceptual art, and cartography to present an array of experimental work at the urban scale. Multidisciplinary practitioners address emergent urbanism, “wild building”, and other alternatives to conventional urban planning.
The exhibit is curated by SUPERFRONT Founder + Director Mitch McEwen with Associate Curator Cecilia Brock and Projects Director Wendy Gilmartin.
Work is exhibited in multiple formats, from physical models to drawings, animations,software applications, consumer products, and live film. Dealing with urban situations from derelict construction sites to refugee camps, favelas, temporary housing and other contemporary spatial phenomena, the exhibition confronts the current economic crises and larger issues of globalization.
UNPLANNED opens March 25th with reception 5pm – 8pm. On view through July 2nd, 2010.
