Sign as Surface
Artists Space, New York
A group exhibition of built and speculative projects by ten young international architectural studios. The show is framed around two competing tendencies - practices rooted in representation and metaphor and those founded on material systems and organizations. The works featured in the show investigate the use of surface as a site for expression, from the space of the figurative and featured, to a place of coded interface.
Curated by Peter Zellner

General of the Netherlands in New York. In-kind services are provided by
