Patricio Del Real

As part of the exhibition, When Artists Say ‘WE’
ARTISTS SPACE

“It is a commonplace to suggest that the turbulent dynamics of
twenty-first century urbanization raise essential questions about
the boundaries, claims, and capacities of architecture, epitomized
by the ambivalent figure of Rem Koolhaas. It has been less common
to consider the multivalent political stakes of this disciplinary
crisis, not least of all with respect to ‘the right to the city’ of
those disenfranchised by neoliberalism-a dynamic registered most
dramatically in the realm of housing. Keeping in mind the
site-specific history of Soho itself, this panel will consider what
relationship architects-along with artists and other members of what
Richard Florida has celebrated as the ‘Creative Class’-have or could
have to various configurations of urban inequality in both the North
and the South.”
Damon Rich will present “Flexing Our Freedom: Loft Living and Two
Architectural Visions of the New City”
Yates Mckee will present “Of Domes and Ghosts: From Drop City to the
Lower Ninth”
Patricio Del Real will present “Off-architecture”
