Just over thirteen percent of architects are women, according to the American Institute of Architects. The exhibition "13.3%…" borrows from the conceptual structure of curator Lucy Lippard’s landmark 1973 exhibition of conceptual art, c. 7,500, in which each work on display fit into a standard manila envelope. Lippard’s exhibition contested the belief that there were no women making conceptual art at the time — and she did so by mailing evidence of this work directly to the gallery for display. Nearly forty years later, "13.3%…" provides a space and form in which to consider the contributions and visibility of today’s practicing female architects. "13.3%..." opens this Saturday.
