The Library is Open 16: Material Acts
The Library is Open 16 invites Kate Yeh Chiu and Jia Yi Gu, curators and editors of Material Acts to discuss their most recent publication and exhibition, Material Acts: Experimentation in Architecture and Design (Craft Contemporary, 2024).
Material Acts: Experimentation in Architecture and Design accompanies and shares a name with the exhibition at Craft Contemporary in Los Angeles in 2024, offering a companion space that delves into the research shown in the galleries. The publication is organized around the same five thematic material acts of the exhibition: Animating, Disassembling, Feeding, Re-fusing, and Stitching. Content formats include commissioned essays, photography, how-to-guides, and conversations featuring the exhibition’s scope.
