How can architecture bridge the past and the future? What is the relationship between architecture, culture, and community? During 1014: Past and Future, an exhibition and festival celebrating the past and future of the townhouse at 1014 Fifth Ave., 1014 invited historians and architects to speak about their practice and research on the subject.
1014: Past and Future was curated by Gideon Fink Shapiro. The exhibition brought together many renowned architecture and design firms, one of which included David Chipperfield Architects (DCA). DCA which was chosen as the firm to lead the renovation of 1014 alongside KARO Architects, Paratus Group, and Kohler Ronan, among others.
Art and Discourse
While removing monuments to past figures and events can be a daunting process, to imagine and facilitate the installation of new monuments seems just as relevant. What challenges do artists, city planners, and local communities face in the creation of public art for the 21st century? Who decides what is celebrated in the public space? How are these decisions made?
Marking Absences - Shifting Narratives was organized by curator Niama Safia Sandy, and brought together various artists including Alisha B. Wormsley, Hank Willis Thomas, Olu Oguibe, Lava Thomas.
