Architecture and design exhibitions have long been important public
sites of broadcasting, experimentation, position-taking, and the
interrogation of fundamental aspects of the designed environment.
Just as individual exhibitions have constituted key benchmarks
within the disciplinary history of architecture, the representation
and display of space through exhibitions has operated historically
as a crucial medium for shaping and embodying broader cultural
attitudes toward the design of the built world. In recent years,
the specific formats and challenges of exhibiting architecture and
design, both built and speculative, have often been used as
critical devices for identifying, communicating, and convening
publics around shared matters of concern. These have increasingly
included urgent questions of equity and justice, labor, gender,
race, class, community, and lifestyle in relation to spatial issues
of density, economy, policy, infrastructure, climate, and
sustainability. Futures of the Architectural Exhibition records a
discussion of critical approaches to the representation of
architecture through conversations with seven contemporary curators
working inside and outside of the museum. Mario Ballesteros
(Archivo Diseno y Arquitectura, Mexico City), Giovanna Borasi
(Canadian Center for Architecture, Montreal), Ann Lui (Future Firm,
Chicago), Ana Miljacki (Critical Broadcasting Lab, MIT), Zoe Ryan
(ICA, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia), Martino Stierli
(Museum of Modern Art, New York), and Shirley Surya (M+, Hong Kong)
speculate on the specific challenges and potentials of exhibiting
space.
