Skateboarding, Action, and Architecture

October 23: PIFAS

Faculty-member Brandon Joyce shares his inexpert opinions on how it is action that anoints architecture with meaning. Calling on street-skating as a high model, he’ll speak about how use, misuse, and transformation can override- or even negate- intent and expression in architectural design.

The talk will be short and followed by a discussion on the topics… and, of course, more skate videos.

Coffee will be served.
8PM
Free and Open to the Public

Secret Rooms of the Dirtpalace – Volume 3:

Opening November 7, 2008 6 – 11pm
November 7 – November 29, 2008

Space 1026
1026 Arch St. Second Floor, Philadelphia, PA

The Dirtpalace is an inconspicuous rotting brick building in the thick of opinionated pedestrians, aggressive loud-mouthed drivers and Rhode Island’s finest hot weiners that is Olneyville Square. Which is to say that it is a cupcake encrusted netherworld docked along the shore of the Woonasquatucket river.

In it‘s past lives it was a library, a place of worship, a junk pile, a basement phone sex operation, and a drug store. It is now a place where nobody lives, where nobody ever lived and where there are many books and cats and girls lingering in confusing hallways inventing things potentially not in the most efficient way nor using the scientific method.

The Dirtpalace may be explained to strangers/parents/squares by employing the pithy catch phrase “An All female Art Collective in Providence, RI”. The word feminist is also relevant and frequently used, as are the words cold, broke(n), impossible and nusto-broads.

In the show “Secret Rooms of the Dirtpalace – Volume 3…” we present you with real and hypothetical furnishings from behind the trapdoor bookcases. Artifacts of histories as varied as the day and night, saturated in love, loss, explosion, boredom, useless junk, phantom fame, deception and loyalty.

to learn more about the dirt palace check out their website.

they also have a flickr.

Hours
The gallery at Space 1026 is open daily between noon and 7pm, please ring the bell for entry.
