Storefront TV:  From Underground Mies to Underground Storefront

October 28, 7-9pm /  Storefront Gallery – SF TV Studio / 

by Andrés Jaque / Office for Political Innovation

 

Mies’ Barcelona Pavilion, as it was reconstructed in 1986, includes a basement that so far has remained unnoticed. The basement has been the place where all the material evidences of the daily aging and the ordinary production of the fictional pavilion are hidden. Andrés Jaque and the Office for Political Innovation spent two years scrutinizing the basement and eventually took what is concealed in it back to the upper floor. The work explored the idea that a mundane and contingent Mies can be inhabited and celebrated. 

 

“From Underground Mies to Underground Storefront” is the first program of the Storefront TV season exploring visibility in architecture through a range of virtual subterranean visits. The program is brought to Storefront TV on the occasion of the launch of the book “PHANTOM. Mies as Rendered Society” by Andrés Jaque / Office for Political Innovation.
