The Museum of No Spectators Burning Man 2022 / John Marx + J Absinthia Vermut

September 16, 2022 Bianca Valentina Roșescu 0

The Museum of No Spectators has finally come to life, after having been postponed during the pandemic. The original idea for this different type of gallery space for displaying art has remained true to the way in which it was first conceived by co-lead artists John Marx and J Absinthia Vermut. The Museum of No Spectators emphasizes inclusivity while moving away from “art as an elitist sport”. It challenges the notion that museums are neutral spaces for exhibiting what artists do. Although many museums are actively seeking change, many are still perceived as being exclusive.  The standing these institutions have in the art world can make it difficult to get away from the notion of “museum grade art” as being above all other art, yet anyone who has been to Burning Man will know that exceptional and powerful work is being created outside the museum context, some of it work that has a profound resonance with society, redefining our perception of what constitutes art.

House in Crato / Inês Brandão Arquitectura

September 16, 2022 Susanna Moreira 0

House in Crato (Casa no Crato) was designed for a couple who loves nature and silence and that was looking for a retreat place, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It is located in the upper part of the Alentejo region, in Portugal, on a property of about 70 hectares, where oaks, holm oaks, cork oaks, and common brooms populate the various hills and create an idyllic landscape. A small flowing watercourse crosses the entire terrain, giving rise to a lagoon that serves as a refreshment point for grazing animals.

Classroom Apu Kumanday TSL Colombia 2022 / República Portátil + Coonvite + Lucía Garzón

September 16, 2022 Pilar Caballero 0

The Comunativa Foundation is located in the San José neighborhood. The foundation carries out social action and resistance work against the urban Macroproject, which in 2010 devastated an area of 17 neighborhoods, just over 100 hectares near the center of Manizales, Colombia. This state intervention arises from the desire to “dignify” the urban housing space, with the social cost of displacing the poorest population from the city’s centre. This TSL workshop lands on the landscapes of this “macro-disaster” as it is called in Comunativa, and carries out a program of pedagogical projects, community care and socio-spatial disputes.
