Currents exhibition by SO-IL | MAAT x Virtual Design Festival | Dezeen



The final instalment of VDF’s collaboration with MAAT features a video overview of the Currents – Temporary Architectures by SO-IL exhibition that was due to open at the Lisbon museum, plus a text written for the show by Beatrice Galilee.

The video, by Rita Nunes, offers a sneak peek of the exhibition about SO-IL’s temporary projects as well snippets of text by New York curator Galilee. Her full text is published below.

“This video animation is a sneak peek into the exhibition revealing a selected series of projects in a montage of images, videos and texts that are part of the show,” says Beatrice Leanza, executive director at the Museum of Architecture, Art and Technology.

“Here we learn of past and present references through projects, books, and inspirations that have informed the ideation of these interventions and their final outcomes.”

SO-IL is a Brooklyn-based architecture studio founded by Florian Idenburg and Jing Liu.

The projects featured in the video are SO-IL’s 2015 Blueprint at Storefront project at New York City’s Storefront for Art and Architecture; Poledance (2010) at MoMA PS1; L’Air Pour l’Air (2017) for Chicago Architecture Biennial; Into the Hedge (2019) at Columbus, Indiana; In Bloom (2010 – unrealised) for Amsterdam; a project for Frieze Art Fair in New York in 2012-2013; and Transhistoria at Jackson Heights, Queens, New York City for the Guggenheim Museum.
