About the program
Led by Artistic Director Florencia Rodriguez, SHIFT: Architecture in Times of Radical Change signals the opportunity and need to change direction—an invitation to think with others and to set new grounds for the interpretation and design of our built environments. The exhibition is organized around a series of thematic capsules: exhibitions and programs that each explore a particular idea, question, or mode of practice.
At the Stony Island Arts Bank, Melting Solids presents works by five architects and artists reimagining architecture not as fixed or monumental, but as impermanent, adaptive, and rooted in cultural memory. Participants include: Abigail Chang; Dominic Kießling; Laboratorio de Arquitectura and José Cubilla; Edra Soto; Studio Jacob; and WAI Architecture Think Tank.
