Join us for the kick-off of Sight Sites—three days of programming featuring a lecture, film screening, and workshop—organized by Roundhouse Platform in partnership with Escuela Libre de Arquitectura. Up first, a public lecture and film screening on September 20 in Parque Calle 8 in Tijuana, Mexico.
*Lecture*
The lecture, Collective Space & Spatial Collectives, will situate Roundhouse's work through an investigation of how five interrelated aspects of their practice—labs, exhibitions, edit-a-thons, excursions, and screenings—reflect and challenge changing notions of practice and the built environment.
*Screening*
In the film screening, Sight Sites, Roundhouse will bring together a collection of videos from contemporary practitioners in architecture, animation, and augmented reality exploring the notion of "site" in an architectural context and beyond. The screening will feature works by:
- Josh Rains - visual artist
- Julia Bianco - visual artist
- Carmina Escobar - experimental vocalist
- Maxime Lefebvre - architect / photogrammetrist
- Theo Triantafyllidis - artist
- David Eskenazi - architect
- Elizabeth Conn-Hollyn - artist / researcher
- Ian Besler - designer
- Erin Besler - architect
*About*
Noémie Despland-Lichtert and Brendan Shea are curators, designers and educators sharing an interest in site-specific histories and the relationship between infrastructure and aesthetics. Since 2015, their work has been conducted through Roundhouse, a curatorial platform for public engagement with post-industrial sites. It aims to investigate urban change by facilitating broader engagement with site-specific histories through creative site exploration, archival research, publication and exhibition making. Among other projects, in 2016, the Roundhouse platform conducted research and organized a series of urban labs in Taylor Yard, an abandoned classification yard in Glassell Park, an area just northeast of downtown Los Angeles. In 2017, they presented the outcomes of the project in an exhibition, alongside a corresponding publication of images, maps, drawings, photographs, and essays from the year-long exploration.
