Crease, Cut Pivot, Turn: Sequences & Operations ARC321 Exhibition Opening night: Thursday, March 9th at 6:00pm until Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006 al&d building, 230 College Street Come see student work by Lola Sheppard and Maria Denegri's ARC321 classes from last semester. Traditionally, architecture has been conceived of as a material artifact; a fixed entity; a series of spaces in a set of precise relationships. The traditional planimetric representation tools were seen as sufficient to adequately describe these spatial relationships. However, as architecture has breached into other disciplines - looking to art, technology, music, film - it has begun to redefine the parameters of architecture, and to explore alternative modes of representation. The intention of the ARC321 Representation course was to examine how drawing as a tool might describe less permanent, more fluid spatial conditions: - the making or assembly of an artifact rather than it's final condition - the operation or performance of a 'machine' or space - a visual recording or description of the city and its temporal transformation through use, activity, or movement patterns The drawings on display constitute a series of exercises which explored drawing's ability to transcend its' inherently static condition. Using strategies of sequencing, multiplicity, overlay, time elapse, etc., the drawings test how to capture more transient qualities of space, speed and movement. 
Frank Gehry: Art + Architecture Exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ontario BAASS has recently decided to collaborate with the U of T Art Centre Student Association (ACSA) for this event. This means that the admission fee to the AGO will be covered by ACSA! The evening will begin at 4:00pm at the U of T Art Centre located in University College (15 King's College Circle, Main floor of Laidlaw Wing). Larry Richards, the exhibition's curator and previous Dean of al&d, will provide a guided tour of the exhibition, "Frank's Drawings: Eight Museums by Gehry". We will then head over to the AGO for a guided tour of the exhibition "Frank Gehry: Art+Architecture". Once again, AGO admission is free. After the Art Gallery tour, you are invited to have dinner with us at a restaurant on Baldwin Street (TBD). Hope to see you there!
