Cross Circuits with Lukas Pauer

Lukas Pauer, architect, urbanist, historian, educator, and the Founding Director of the Vertical Geopolitics Lab, will offer insights into Terence Gower's exhibition, Embassy, as he explores the themes of authority and the Imperial history of architecture.

Terence Gower: Embassy features over a decade-worth of work stemming from his investigation into the diplomatic architecture of the United States. Four multi-part installations form a larger study of American embassy buildings that have played important roles in recent international events in Baghdad, Havana, and Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City), as well as one unbuilt project for Ottawa. These expansive artistic constellations, including archival documents, sculptures, videos, and works on paper, are the outcome of the artist’s extensive research process.
