Jour Fixe-Vortrag: „Architect as curator as architect“ – Joseph Grima (Architect, Writer, Curator, Researcher/Genova)

What is the role of architecture now and in the future of a globally networked world? What is its public, political, and aesthetic potentialities? Its conceptual methods and critical media? To focus these questions, we look at current curatorial practices, their processes, and strategies. The objective is not only to discuss architecture as an (critical) exhibition object or relational space. We also want to address architecture’s ability to project other selves without cancelling former ones.
Joseph Grima is an architect, writer and editor based in Genoa, Italy. He has previously edited Domus magazine and directed Storefront for Art and Architecture, an independent gallery in New York. In 2012 he was co-curator of the first edition of the Istanbul Design Biennial. He has curated exhibitions and presented work in numerous international venues including the Venice Architecture Biennale, New York’s New Museum of Contemporary Art and the Triennale di Milano.
The talk is part of „Architect as Curator as Architect“ – Jour Fixe Series Summer 2015
Introduction and Moderation by Mona Mahall, Asli Serbest
