About the Participants
Miguel Braceli is an architect, artist, and educator. His work incorporates social practices and educational models through media such as performance, installation, video, and photography. The bulk of his work has consisted of large-format, ephemeral works in public space, performed as interventions and exhibited in countries including Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Spain, the United States and Venezuela.
Felipe Sepúlveda and Bárbara Barreda lead the architectural systems design research studio BASE studio, based in Chile. They develop an architecture oriented towards non-conventional geometrical, material, and spatial formulations that are able to accommodate the challenges and opportunities of contemporary life. Their methods are based on a parametric/systemic-thinking approach towards architectural design systems that are informed by both digital tools and physical prototypes; allowing for more versatile and innovative solutions, adaptable to a diversity of scales, materials, as well as programmatic, economic, and social contexts.
Jennifer Newsom and Tom Carruthers lead DREAM THE COMBINE, a creative practice, based in Minneapolis, MN and Ithaca, NY. They create site-specific installations exploring metaphor, imaginary environments, and perceptual uncertainties that cast doubt on our known understanding of the world. The work is deeply collaborative. They investigate the conceptual overlaps in art, architecture, and cultural theory through structures that disrupt assumed dichotomies and manipulate the boundary between real and illusory space.
Julia van den Hout is an architecture curator and editor, based in Brooklyn. In addition to her position as Curator and Program Director of Art Omi: Architecture, she is the principal of Original Copy, an editorial, curatorial, and communications studio which she founded in 2014; she also teaches at Pratt Institute’s Graduate School of Architecture.
