CAAD Lecture: Onsite

AD1-107 CAAD
January 5, 2016
09:00 - 10:00

Using site-specific installations and photography as the main mediums of practice, Alibi Studio alters existing spaces through spatial and atmospheric manipulations. In this lecture, Cathlyn (Catie) Newell will discuss numerous built works and collaborative research that range in technique, medium and location. The work will demonstrate a commitment to materials investigations that foregrounds physical and immaterial attributes as well as material culture. Processes of fabrication will be discussed as they relate to the acts of making and the amplified realities of a site.
