Festive Opening
For the exhibition Finders Keepers, MacGuffin magazine has brought together thousands of objects from more than 30 lenders from dozens of countries, including 3000 carpenter’s pencils, 30 staircases and 150 different handcuffs, alongside galerist and curator Seth Siegelaub’s collection of headdresses, and a collection of voices assembled by ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax.
The Other Architect is the culmination of extensive archival research by the Canadian Centre for Architecture, featuring work by AMO, Architects’ Revolutionary Council, Architectural Detective Agency, Design-A-Thon, Forensic Architecture, Global Tools, Kommunen in der Neuen Welt and Lightweight Enclosures Unit.
