The Library is Open 5: Party Planner

The Library is Open 5: Party Planner. With Chase Galis, Christina Moushoul, and Sonia Ralston

Party Planner is an annual architecture and design publication that examines the role of parties and similar ephemeral spaces as the origin of complex social and material networks with urban, political, and environmental effects. The publication’s third volume seeks to expand upon the concept of a “party trick" to consider how parties transform otherwise banal spaces—ranging from warehouses and factories to the domestic living room—through techniques of crowds, audiovisual noise, smokescreens, and intoxication. The work of this volume’s contributors interrogates the relationship between two fundamental aspects of the party trick: the aesthetics and effects of illusion, and the social and material structures that lie behind the smokescreen. Party Planner is edited by Chase Galis, Christina Moushoul, and Sonia Sobrino Ralston.

Party Planner, Vol. 3, Party Trick includes contributions by Tatiana Carbonell, Philippe Rahm, Alex Tigchelaar, Paul Mpagi Sepuya, Caleb Kruzel, Pol Esteve Castelló, Sanna Almajedi, Angel Dimayuga, Paola Antonelli, Eva Franch i Gilabert, Whitney Mallett, Florentina Holzinger, Marie de Testa, Guillermo S. Arsuaga, Sally Scott, and Maike Statz.
