TOWARDS A ZOOLOGY OF SPACES

16 Jan 2010-1 Jan 2000

Overview

Auto Italia South East is pleased to announce Towards a Zoology of spaces, a staged conversation and open debate by Hunter&Gatherer (architect Manuel Shvartzberg and writer Fabian Faltin) with the participation of James Taylor Gallery co-founders Julia Crabtree and Will Evans, Edward Dorrian of Five Years, and SPCMKR founder Timothy Ivison. Hunter&Gatherer's Art Spaces Lead Global Ecology of Ideas reported on a near-future art world constellation of institutional typologies ranging from MOMA franchise expansion in London Heathrow airport to 'grey' art centres which deliver day-care services and gated security for the elderly. Organised as a pragmatic response to their original report, Towards a Zoology of spaces provoke debate amongst self-organised arts spaces operating in contemporary contexts, and to sound out propositions for future methodologies and organisational structures. Hunter&Gatherer will rehearse a staged conversation based upon researches conducted at Auto Italia South East and members of the panel, which will be followed by an open discussion.
