Exhibition

UT Austin School of Architecture
The prestigious two-year
Emerging Scholar in Design Fellowship (ESIDF) offers promising individuals at
the beginning of their academic career in architecture and its allied fields
the opportunity to develop a distinctive body of work and provides a unique
teaching experience in the context of a supportive environment. Presented by
Tekena Koko, the 2021- 2023 design fellow at the school of architecture, the
show includes objects existing between landscape media and architecture.
Accompanied by a paper titled Terrafictions, the contents
dealing with landscape focus on media. Those
concerned with architecture deal with grids, grid deformations, and questions that circle around where architecture ends or begins.
On display are works by
Olivia Buntin, whose object flickers between a sculpture and a model.
Christiana Huss figures in body parts
into grids. Aleksandr Delev traces landscape psychogeography via furniture
design. Kerry Maguire makes landscape proxies. While Tekena Koko, Brooke Bower,
and Maggie Bailey fuse architecture surfaces and link them to bodily gestures
in their film.
