PLEIN AIR TALKS 3. Mark Wasiuta
October 24, 2022, 4pm
Buell 200N
Air as Archive
Mark Wasiuta is co-director of the MSCCCP program at GSAPP. His research exhibition practice focuses on the agency and ontology of documents and archives for architecture through under-examined projects of the postwar period.
2022 Plein Air Talks is organized in conjunction with the advanced studio series “Plein Air” taught by Nahyun Hwang, initiated in the fall of 2020. The series explores the complex material and socio-political performance of air, and the intersectional vulnerabilities and agencies of air as a critical spatial medium.
