Periodically, panel discussions explore the issues and themes presented within the current exhibition.

Closing Reception

RSVP at www.aiasf.org/registration
Join us for a closing night of conversation with some of the participating artists in discussion about their projects featured in Urban Re:Interventions.
Urban Re:Interventions explores perspectives on the urban environment through the lens of architects, designers, landscape architects and urban guerillas. From small scale moments at the street level to large scale imagineering of the city of San Francisco as a whole, the exhibition will re-envision how awkward spaces can be made beautiful.
Participating artists were asked to answer questions such as “What annoys you about San Francisco’s streetscape?” “If you could remake your neighborhood where would you start?” “How could you connect the city to disengaged communities and/or individuals?” and “What are you already doing to improve your local environment?“
The exhibition features work by Shift Design Studio, 450 Architects, CMG Landscape Architecture, Gelfand Partners Architects, Activist Architecture and the Vapor Advanced Interdisciplinary Studio at CCA, grey.studio, among others. Urban Re:Interventions has been made possible in part by the Graham Foundation.
