LEARNING FROM HANGZHOU






This Monday morning there's a different installation happening at Storefront, the installation of Mathieu Borysevicz's project "Learning from Hangzhou" wrapping the construction barricade. Yes, we're even having exhibitions while we're closed..

Tonight is the opening, Monday, August 4. 6-8pm. There's also a sneak peak at the restoration project behind the construction wall! Hope to see you there.


LEARNING FROM HANGZHOU
a photographic analysis by Mathieu Borysevicz.



From 2003-2007 thousands of digital photographs, based on patterns or visual re-occurrences throughout the city, were recorded and archived into categories of architectural, socio-economic and urban cultural phenomena. These photographs cover territory from outdoor advertising (in its many different and all enveloping configurations) to the constructed environment (the transitional zones of demolition/construction sites, architecture, and architectural apparatus') to urban culture's visual codes (street markings, ad imagery, internet bars, the wedding industry, etc.).

This project was made possible through generous support from IBEX Construction and Tim and Ellen Van Housen.
