Tuesday, December 8, 5pm-6:30pm Pacific
INTENT: a dialogue on values in the intersection of art and architecture brings together artist Felipe Dulzaides, Cuba-based architecture and art studio Infraestudio, and San Francisco-based Steven Huegli of Jensen Architects for a lively discussion, moderated by associate professor Neeraj Bhatia of the California College of the Arts Architecture Program and independent curator Gretel Medina, about their experiences working on art spaces that were formerly domestic environments, including The David Ireland House itself, Centro Bahia and Linea 503 in Havana, and more.
The program is presented in conjunction with the current exhibition of Dulzaides' work There is no such thing as a perfect circle, on view at The David Ireland House through December 19, 2020. In it, Dulzaides, who was a close associate of David Ireland, explores subjects of circularity, cultural displacement, chance, dislocation, relocation, and the relationship between architecture and public spaces. Included is Dulzaides' mixed-media installation Santurio #21, a work that artfully documents his life-art restoration project, the creation of Centro Bahia, an interdisciplinary art space in Havana, Cuba.
Dulzaides will discuss his project and the way it blurred the hard-edged lines that intersect preservation, urban use, and artistic practice. Architectural group Infraestudio will share their work on Linea 503 in Havana, a structure built in 1888 which was almost untouched until they transformed it into an art center. Steven Huegli of Jensen Architects will share the challenges of working on structures and spaces with embedded culture and environments, including The David Ireland House, Ann Hamilton's tower, and Fort Mason Center.
Free
Presented by The David Ireland House at 500 Capp Street.
