CO-ISOLATED, an exhibition of new work by Richard Goodwin, Michael Snape and David Burns, will take place the weekend of 16 April 2010 in a 3000 square meter (30,000 s.f. from my American brothers and sisters) warehouse in the Alexandria suburb of Sydney.

I’m very excited about this show. I’ll be exhibiting a new piece that follows Triptych 01 of 2009, but at a significantly larger scale. Richard is planning a new performative piece that should not be missed and Michael is working with large foam plinths. Oh yes.

If you’re on this side of the planet, please stop by on Friday 16 April. It’s going to be huge.

Full details here: http://so-ad.com/co-isolated.  And on Facebook.

See you there!

MAS Context “University Works” out now

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

MAS Context, an architectural journal from Chicago, has recently released its new issue titled, University Works.

Their words:

University Works relates some of the most promising architecture work developed in universities around the world during the recent academic years. This work has been selected by curators directly involved at each of the universities. University Works wants to know and share what is produced in different contexts, establish parallels, understand challenges, and discover opportunities.
Discuss, Enjoy, Participate.

Last October I was in Chicago giving a talk at UIC and Iker invited me to curate some projects from my current home, the University of Technology, Sydney. I picked a few projects from the M.Arch Encapsulations studio I ran last year with Adam Jasper, a couple of projects from Adrian Lahoud and Sam Spurr’s Post-Traumatic Urbanism studio, and a couple of undergraduate projects as well. The students were stoked to be involved and we owe Iker a huge high five.

UPDATE

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

It’s time for a change. Over the next few weeks (or months), I’ll be slowly phasing out SO-AD. It’s bittersweet.

In the meantime, there is a lot happening. I am now directing a new program at UTS, the Bachelor of Design in Photography and Situated Media. My exhibition with Richard Goodwin and Michael Snape, Co-isolated, is back on schedule and opening on April 16th. And finally, I was recently invited to be on the advisory panel for Open Agenda, a new competition for young Australian architects.

Apologies for the radio silence. I’m back.

-David
