BETWEEN ONE & ZERO
October 12 from 6 pm
Room 104, Architecture Hall
University of Nebraska-Lincoln
In his essay ‘Weak Universalism’ Boris Groys discusses the possibility of radical reduction of the image (of art, architecture) to a “pure relationship between image and frame, between contemplated object and field contemplation, between one and zero.” In this reduction, pure forms challenge the symbolic, ideological, programmatic, idealistic and utopian imperatives of images. A form of “weak universalism” (radical abstraction) is reached when architecture finds itself “between one and zero,” as the most simple of forms carry the deepest connections with our historical, material and ideological history.
Between One and Zero presents drawings, fashion items, poetry, photography and video works to challenge the iconographic role of architecture as an act of radical reduction. Work by Bruna Canepa, Rem D. Koolhaas/United Nude, Jason Mena, Oliver Haidutschek, Matteo Ghidoni/Salottobuono and Christopher Rey Perez will be featured.
