“It is very important to provoke people to laugh… With our work, we can get people to become optimistic, to be positive, to love the future. The future is a fantastic time where everything is possible.”
Yesterday evening, multidisciplinary artist Gaetano Pesce argued for optimism and humor in the creative practice as he introduced a wide range of pioneering projects: a foam house, a visionary vertical garden, a scent-diffusing chandelier, DIY customizable recycled plastic shoes, and more.

Model Projections
Oct 4, 2018 – Dec 15, 2018
Arthur Ross Architecture Gallery
This exhibition investigates the complex pathways between architecture and its representations through an examination of the practice of model making. Continuing its efforts to support new projects by emerging architects and artists, the Ross Gallery invited Agency—Agency to design the exhibition. Under the direction of founder Tei Carpenter, Agency—Agency developed an immersive installation and display system that uses off-the-shelf materials—drywall fragments, exposed metal studs—to evoke an architectural work-in-progress.
Gallery Hours: Tuesday–Saturday 12–6pm

David Benjamin, co-founder of The Living and Associate Professor at Columbia GSAPP will discuss how his work, which combines research and practice, involves exploring new ideas through prototyping. Focusing on the intersection of biology, computation, and design, Benjamin has articulated three frameworks for harnessing living organisms for architecture: bio-processing, bio-sensing, and bio-manufacturing.

Répétiteur
This immersive site-specific installation by Professor Jorge Otero-Pailos opened on October 15 at the New York City Center and will remain on view until October 21 followed by two additional installations in March and April as part of both the institution’s inaugural program of visual art commissions and the Merce Cunningham Centennial.
The work draws attention to the material evidence that the seemingly immaterial transfer of dance knowledge leaves behind—the dust, and other residue, left on the surfaces of a studio by the dancers.
