June 8-12, 2010
Over the course of these four days, Storefront for Art and Architecture in partnership with Museo Experimental El Eco, Tomo and Domus Magazine, hosted the third edition of Postopolis!, a public five-day session of near-continuous conversation curated by some of the world’s most prominent bloggers from the fields of architecture, art, urbanism, landscape, music and design. Ten world-renowned bloggers from Los Angeles, New York, Turin, Barcelona, London and elsewhere convened in one location in Mexico City to host a series of discussions, interviews, slideshows, presentations, films and panels fusing the informal and interdisciplinary approach of the architecture blogosphere with rare face-to-face interaction.
Each day, the ten participating bloggers met in the magnificent courtyard of Museo Experimental El Eco, designed by Matthias Goeritz, to conduct back-to-back interviews of some of Mexico City’s most influential thinkers and practitioners – including architects, city planners, artists and urban theorists but also military historians, filmmakers, photographers, activists and musicians. The talks were conducted in either Spanish or English. Each day of talks ended with an after-party hosted by some of Mexico City’s most influential music blogs.
The first edition of Postopolis! took place in the gallery space at Storefront for Art and Architecture during the summer of 2007, and a second edition was held in Los Angeles in 2009.
