Studio-X New York
180 Varick Street
Free and Open to Public

This event is the fifth in series of public dialogues on WASTE STREAMS organized in conjunction with the current Architecture and Urban Design Studio. It is structured around a dialogue between Manuel Mansylla and Dennis Maher, who promote the use of reclaimed, recycled and re-purposed materials in their artistic practices, addressing both the global scale of environmental systems, and that of objects and architectural spaces.

There will be a question and answer session moderated by Angela Chen-Mai Soong and Sandro Marpillero (AUD GSAPP Faculty) to foster a conversation between the artists and the audience, which includes both the AUD class as well as outside guests. The theme of waste will also be addressed by a display of AUD2010 students' work, which engages post-industrial sites in Bushwick (Brooklyn) with installations documented by short videos. The event will reveal the potential use of waste objects to read, interact, investigate and reconstruct urban conditions.
