'T' Space Synthesis of the Arts: Virtual Livestream Opening Celebration
Event Date: Jul 25, 2020; Event City: If you were unable to join our opening celebration last week, you are in luck—a new program has been added to the schedule. ‘T’ Space is excited to welcome Ensamble Studio, architects Débora Mesa and Antón García-Abril, to open our 2020 Synthesis of the Arts Summer Season with Ca’n Terra: Architecture of the Earth, their interactive virtual exhibition commissioned by ‘T’ Space. This time we will meet on Zoom and conduct a Q&A with the artists after the event. Antón and Débora from Ensamble Studio will present a virtual walk-through of Ca'n Terra with an experimental percussive performance "Hydrated Metals" by Fast Forward and complementary poetry by Marie Howe. Ensamble’s Architecture of the Earthtransforms an abandoned quarry in Menorca to make imaginative architectures about reading space, recycling landscape, and quarrying light rather than building from the ground up. The architects propose "a trip to the interior being of matter and recognize the freedom with which it gives us spaces to live." This interactive virtual exhibition at ‘T’ Space immerses viewers in three areas of the architects’ creative process from observation to materialization: Discovering (The Scan), Carving (The Action), and Living (The Atmosphere). Ca’n Terra invites us to think about the essence of habitation and the direct relations between human actions and nature. In the online virtual tour, we interact with these processes through on-site scans, maps, and spherical images. As we glide from room to room, 360 degree virtual reality allows us to seamlessly explore by using hyperlinks to original-state images, construction images and videos, 3D scan “drawings”, texts, ambient/living videos with audio, time-lapses and high-res images of the present. It is through experiencing Ca’n Terra’s spaces that we immerse ourselves in an Architecture of the Earth, understand its properties and values, and reassess what comfort means. Given our Covid reality today, ‘T’ Space invites audiences into an immersive experience from their homes. We are pleased to present this experimental exhibition for audiences to contemplate nature and our futures beyond using the land as a source for endless exploitation. Marie Howe is the author of four volumes of poetry described as by Stanley Kunitz as “luminous, intense, and eloquent, rooted in abundant inner life.” Fast Forward will perform on the Trinidadian steel pan and domestic instruments/objects while wearing a Go-Pro. He adopts a sculptural approach to creating sound. Please join us with Ensamble Studio for a virtual livestream event on July 25th with the opening of Ca’n Terra: Architecture of the Earth, their virtual exhibition commissioned by ‘T’ Space. Ensamble’s virtual exhibition will be available for continuous viewing from July 25- October 31, 2020, on TSpaceRhinebeck.org. The livestream opening event brings together architecture, poetry, and music in a conversation about nature, domesticity, spiritual rhythms, and our futures. Reimagine our earthly home and its relationship to nature, art, and architecture—experience the virtual exhibition at TSpaceRhinebeck.org beginning July 25- RSVP! Read the full post on Bustler
