Thursday 11 June 2009, 19.00–20.30

Stephen Holl and Vito Acconci's collaboration on the façade of New York's Storefront for Art and Architecture set an important precedent for agendas of hybrid practice and collaboration, in line with Storefront's own programme as a gallery. 

Twelve pivoting panels replaced the front of the building entirely, dissolving it into the street and allowing for multiple combinations and forms. The facade has recently been renovated and the project's significance preserved for the future as an important urban landmark. A significant conversation on collaboration, between Holl, the man Time Magazine has dubbed 'America's Best Architect,' and Acconci, the prototypical artist-turned-architect.

Chaired by Joseph Grima, Director of Storefront for Art and Architecture.

Please note that Steven Holl will be participating via video conferencing.

Please join us after the discussion for a complimentary drink to celebrate the start of the Architecture + Art: Crossover and Collaboration series
