Office for Subversive Architecture: March 27

projections with the Office for Subversive Architecture
(Reinventing Goethe with ifau + Jesko Fezer)

Friday, March 27, 6:30pm
Goethe-Institut New York Wyoming Building
5 East 3rd Street

The Goethe-Institut Wyoming Building is proud to present the next event of the venue’s kickoff series Reinventing Goethe, an intriguing examination of issues regarding public, private and performance space, as the Wyoming space is itself being developed. series Reinventing Goethe will be collaboratively curated by Joseph Grima, the director of the Storefront for Art and Architecture, and ifau (Institut für angewandte Urbanistik/Institute for Applied Urbanism) + Jesko Fezer.

Leading off is a lecture/presentation by members of the Office for Subversive Architecture, a network of international architects examining the interface between architecture and art. projections plays with ideas of light and color, brightness and darkness, and, as the title itself suggests, with the very concept of projection. It also acknowledges the interplay of the very-contemporary Goethe-Institut with its very-historical namesake, specifically with his theories on light, color and optics. projections is a hands-on experience of theory, an discussion in which the space itself demonstrates what is being discussed. Please join us for this unique event exploring the possibilities of projection—and the projection of possibilities.
