Serpentine-Edge Map Marathon:

Three years ago, Edge collaborated with The Serpentine Gallery in London in a program of “table-top experiments” as part of the Serpentine’s Experiment Marathon . This live event was featured along with the Edge/Serpentine collaboration: “What Is Your Formula? Your Equation? Your Algorithm? Formulae For the 21st Century.”

Hans Ulrich Obrist, curator of the Serpentine, has invited Edge to collaborate in his latest project, The Serpentine Map Marathon, Saturday and Sunday, 16 – 17 October, at Royal Geographical Society, 1 Kensington Gore, London SW7 2AR (Map).

The multi-dimensional Map Marathon features non-stop live presentations by over 50 artists, poets, writers, philosophers, scholars, musicians, architects, designers and scientists. The two-day event takes place in London during Frieze Art Fair week.

“A tiny space in the Palazzo delle Esposizioni accommodates a floor-to-ceiling selection of drawings from the notebooks of the visionary and influential English architect Cedric Price (1934-2003), creator of the famous kinetic aviary for the London Zoo, with a delightful video of him talking about them.”

A Rendez-vous of question marks

Tue, 24 Aug 2010 19:14:00 -0400

Some of Hans Ulrich Obrist’s recurring questions in the NOW Interviews:

What is your connection to “people meet in architecture,” the theme of Kazuyo Seijima’s 2010 Biennale?

What were your epiphanies during the creation of your project?

What in the world that we live in needs to change?

Who are the practitioners from the past who inspire you?

What is your advice to young architects, artists…?

What is your dream for 21st Century?

“One of the questions I started out with, at the beginning, was trying to understand the forces effective in visual art and contemporary art, which is my field as a curator, trying to understand what is necessary in art: Is it necessary to understand the forces effective in other fields of knowledge?”

“But the aggregate, the sheer volume and the international scope of the interviews HUO has done over the past two decades, gather up the individual voices – the individual poems, to form a Master-Poem, not only one with its cultural roots in and the heritage of one nation, like Orlando Furioso or El Cid or La Chanson de Roland, but a vital global epic: A unified and culturally unifying poem, with its life and memory of the past, which is our present inheritance, and our cultural legacy for the future.”

The NOW Interviews and Venic Venic at the 12th International Venice Architecture Biennale

Mon, 02 Aug 2010 16:59:00 -0400

The NOW Interviews and VENIC VENIC are first projects organized by the Institute of the 21st Century in an effort to preserve and share Hans Ulrich Obrist’s Interview Project.

The NOW Interviews are as Hans Ulrich Obrist says, “a portrait of an exhibition,” but the Institute hopes they are not just an exciting event in the present, but a gateway to understanding and supporting his amazing Interview Project. To paraphrase T.S. Eliot, these interviews may well be the fragments we have shorn against our ruin.

VENIC VENIC ,co-curated by Samantha Hardingham and Hans Ulrich Obrist, honors one of architecture’s most influential figures, Cedric Price (1934 – 2003), whose work continues to inspire young architects as well as generations of artists. Price’s conviction that architecture should be flexible enough to allow the occupier to adapt the building to serve the needs of the moment reflects his belief that time, alongside breadth, length and height – is the fourth dimension of architecture.

The exhibition features the launch of an interactive website developed by the Staatliche Hochschule for Gestaltung in Karlsruhe. The culmination of a yearlong project, the website (huoarchive.hfg-karlsruhe.de) comprises hundreds of individually edited video-clips which can be used to generate a live, albeit fictional, conversation between Cedric Price and the user.
