Kyong Park presents ‘Nomadic Practice’ at Texas A&M’s Architecture Lecture Series



Park, associate professor of visual arts at the University of California-San Diego, spoke Nov. 30, 2011 in Preston Geren Auditorium.

Park believes art is a process for cultural inquiry, examination and articulation. He researches, documents and represents urban landscapes that delineate the economic, political and cultural borders and territories of the contemporary social geography.

One of Park’s projects, “24620,” is an abandoned house from Detroit in search of a new home. The house was cut up so it could be moved and re-assembled anywhere in the world. Park calls it a ‘fugitive house,’ running from the city of Detroit, which has destroyed or burned more than two hundred thousand homes in the last fifty years.
