Mobilité et architecture
Exposition de projets pédagogiques
25/05/07 – 15/07/2007
FRAC CENTRE, Orléans
Le projet Mobilité et architecture s’inscrit en lien étroit avec l’Education Nationale et l’Académie d’Orléans-Tours. Il a été mené par le Service des publics du FRAC Centre en 2005-2007 en région Centre, avec une vingtaine d’enseignants et leurs élèves, de la maternelle au supérieur.
Riche de projets d’architectes explorant cette notion, la collection du FRAC Centre a nourri les démarches pédagogiques des enseignants et l’imaginaire des élèves. « Mobilité et architecture » a donné lieu à plusieurs expositions telles Mouvements topographiques, LEGTA, Châteauroux, 2006 ; Mon corps mobile dans l’espace, Lycée Charles Péguy, Orléans, 2006 ; ou encore A pied’œuvre : voyage(s), au Compa, Chartres, 2007. Les ateliers et les rencontres avec des artistes et des architectes (Betty Bui, Claude Parent, François Roche) ont stimulé la réflexion des élèves et aiguisé leur regard critique sur l’architecture contemporaine.
L’exposition Mobilité et architecture, aboutissement de deux années de travail, regroupe les productions des élèves autour de trois axes : « Architecture mobile », « Architecture évolutive », « Déplacement du corps dans l’architecture et l’espace urbain ».
FRAC Centre / Horaires d’ouverture
L’exposition est ouverte du lundi au vendredi, de 10h à 12h et de 14h à 18h. Les week-ends et jours fériés : de 14h à 18h. Visites commentées en semaine sur réservation, les samedi et dimanche à 16h. Entrée libre.
Instant Urbanism- Tracing the Theories of the Situationists in Contemporary Architecture and Urban Design
Until 16 September 2007
Swiss Architecture Museum, Basel
Instant Urbanism draws its inspiration from the radical proclamations made by the Situationist International with relation to transforming architecture and city spaces. The exhibition shows parallels in the field of architecture contemporary to the situationist movement, with groundbreaking experimental and utopian conceptions of urbanism. Numerous projects in architecture and urbanism today will then reveal in practice that which the Situationists developed as urban critique and theory. Installations featuring new work by Ruedi Baur and Citámbulos of Mexico City will implement the strategy of the “dérive” in contemporary urban design.

FYI, my friend Alexandra Ginsberg is showing her work done in collaboration with Oliver Froome-Lewis:
Touching the City is a design research unit that explores the ways in which we interact with the city. Observing the private life of small public spaces, we consider and exchange views on their potential and make proposals for their transformation.
This exhibition documents progress on our first project - the identification, interrogation and stimulation of benchspace and marks the launch of our web site, touchingthecity.com.
Louisiana this week-end, not the state, the museum, 35 km North of Copenhagen... to see MADE IN CHINA, the exhibit featuring among other Chinese artists, my favorite: Zhang Huan. Check his performance: Family Tree, 2000. The exhibit offers a glimpse of the questioning of globalization and Chinese identity... very insighful.
Anyway, I also wanted to share a picture I took. I spotted the pink towel, far away from the museum garden and ran down to the beach for a glimpse of pink against a gray sky:
