JDS Architects exhibition at Sfera: AGENDIBITION
Gallery Hours 11:00 – 20:00
Closed Wednesday
Admission: free

Agendibition is an exhibition of architecture through the expansion of a book, turning a narrative into a space. Presented as a spatial experience, the book is laid out so that the entire contents can be seen all at once on the gallery walls. The pages are supplemented by physical models and images on display in the center of the gallery space. Agenda started as an architecture book, occupying the territory between a monograph, a diary, and a collection of essays, interviews, and conversations. It documents the work and thinking of JDS Architects over a specific year marked by crisis, beginning on September 15th, 2008, the day that Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy.

Rather than a definitive direction, our agenda is a definitive attitude – of eagerness, enthusiasm, and optimism, of criticality and concern, of fun and inquiry. It is a directive, a motivation to act, at times without clear knowledge of where our agenda will lead. The task of Agenda is to explore what kind of change will be needed if architects are to assume a political and social agency in this new landscape.

Bringing together diverse forms of content, Agenda is a product of vigilant observation, introspection, and engagement with outside thinkers and collaborators – artists, curators, politicians, authors, economists, journalists, developers, educators, and architects. The final result, on display at Sfera, is the book as it has never been seen before.

X Atelier and Bureau Spectacular are being simultaneously exhibited at Land of Tomorrow in Lexington, Kentucky.

The opening reception is tonight! March 5, 19h00 @ Land of Tomorrow.

Land of Tomorrow is located at 527 E 3rd St, Lexington, Kentucky 40508, USA (google maps here)

“For its new exhibition, the MAV will explore the vast theme of architectural models. We know that a model is the last tool of representation in architecture.
