"Pidgeon Audio Visual: Architects Speak for Themselves" and Barbara Stauffacher Solomon: "Exits Exist" extended through February 25, 2023
Mining the Pidgeon Audio Visual (PAV) series—a collection of over 200 mail order tape/slide talks initiated in 1979 by renowned editor of London-based magazine Architectural Design, Monica Pidgeon—"Pidgeon Audio Visual: Architects Speak for Themselves" features a selection of the talks and accompanying slide presentations by leading architects and designers produced between 1979 and 1989. At the Graham, talks by Reyner Banham, Roberto Burle Marx, Charles Correa, Balkrishna V. Doshi, Frank Gehry, Myron Goldsmith, Zaha Hadid, Lawrence Halprin, Kisho Kurokawa, Esther McCoy, Cedric Price, James Wines and Alison Sky (SITE), Alison & Peter Smithson, Stanley Tigerman, and Anne Tyng are shown in their original format on slide projectors, with synchronized audio accessed on personal mobile devices. Drawing from the archives of Royal Institute of British Architects; the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution; and the Graham Foundation—which supported Pidgeon and PAV with a grant in 1983—the exhibition looks at the PAV series as an alternative education platform and a new model for the development and distribution of ideas in architecture and design. Pidgeon Audio Visual is curated by Florencia Alvarez Pacheco and originated at Disponible, Buenos Aires.
"Exits Exist," site-specific supergraphics by San Francisco-based Barbara Stauffacher Solomon (b. 1928) for the Graham Foundation’s Madlener House are also on view throughout the galleries.
