Midterm reviews kick off this week with Adv VI on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday; and MSCCCP on Friday. Please reference the online review schedule for full details including room assignments and guest critics.

This week marks the reopening of the Arthur Ross Architecture Gallery with the new exhibition Prospecting Ocean by Armin Linke, a multimedia artistic research project that investigates the technocratic entanglement of industry, science, politics, and economics at the frontiers of ocean exploration. The exhibition features Linke’s archival research, photography, and films, including behind-the-scenes footage at leading oceanographic research institutions and at sea. It is Linke’s first solo exhibition in the U.S. in over 20 years.

Armin Linke (b. 1966, Milan) is an internationally renowned artist based in Berlin. Through photography and filmmaking, Linke reveals how the environment is transformed by technologies, infrastructures, systems of knowledge, and political power. His expansive body of work on the Anthropocene penetrates complex institutional networks, offering rare glimpses of the processes—from bureaucratic decision-making to logistics, to mechanized operations and manual labor—that cumulatively generate terrestrial and ecological effects at a scale that is often beyond perception.
