Our contribution to the exhibition Future of __Space // Reflections, organized by The Architecture + Design Museum of Los Angeles (A+D). After a difficult year of pandemic that saw the proliferation of new grids to impose physical distance, we reflected on the political cultural and historical meanings of the Grid as an artifact to fix peoples in place.
The ever-presentGRID
Generates. Organizes. Fixes.
The exacerbated pandemic GRID
Places in place.
Takes over. In open spaces and parks. In city sidewalks and homeless encampments. In digital space. At home.
The transgressors
Blur the grid.
Nurses. Doctors. Farmworkers. Cooks. Market employees.
Construction workers. Drivers. Essential workers.
Make our in place lives possible.
Protestors. Social movers.
Illuminate new paths to disturb the ever-present GRID.
