In The Poem About Love You Don't Write The Word Love takes the distinction that French critic Serge Daney made between the “image” and the “visual” as a starting point for a selection of works in this two-part exhibition. Daney’s distinction refers to an “image” that can critically challenge and destabilize predominant models of information, resisting the “purely technical,” that which is nothing other than the verification that something functions. Through various strategies of dislocation or slippage, these works stage an unsettling tension that challenges visual conventions in an increasingly mediated culture. More Info

ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN PROJECT SERIES: UniBodies

PATTERNS / Marcelo Spina with Kreysler & Associates

PATTERNS: Marcelo Spina, Marcus Friesl, Jooyoung Chun and Seyavash Zohoori
Kreysler & Associates: Bill Kreysler and Makai Smith

UniBodies is a collaboration between PATTERNS, a Los Angeles based practice lead by architect Marcelo Spina, and the fabrication studio Kreysler & Associates, headed by Makai Smith. UniBodies is driven by PATTERNS’ ongoing design research on monocoque structures and their impact in architectural form and tectonics, and the expertise of K&A in composites and digital fabrication. Conceptually, UniBodies is based on the capacity of single and composite shell constructions to challenge the hierarchy and separation between structure and skin. Integrating the processes of fabrication, production and assembly streamlines construction while also allows for an advanced degree of technological, formal and material innovation. More Info
