Yakkety Yarkitecture

As I prepare to get ready for the Houston edition of [artcrush] (opens Nov 14 at Box 13!) I come across this review of Didier Fiuza Faustino (btw, thank you Frieze for releasing all your articles) asking “Why do architects want to be considered artists?”
Then, I’ve been following BLDGBLOG for a bit to educate myself on architecture, I come across a response to “Who would want to be an architect?

Next week TODAY Women and Their Work are hosting an Architecure and Desire Panel to accompany Erin Curtis’ Perspective Threshold

At the same time, Austin Museum of Art is doing a slide lecture on Chuck Close

At UT this weekend there is a conference: Transnational Latin American Art. Its too late to register, but I wonder what they’re gonna talk about.

I’ll tell you ’bout what I sees.

  1. Did you go to either?
    I went to the panel talk at the gallery…I was disappointed.
    They talked about the practice of architecture as in, lots of talk about clients really. I wanted to talk about Architecture. And Desire. Not building. The current show and Art didn’t come into the picture at all. Eh
    Wondering if Prof. Shiff’s lecture was better…

  2. No, I fell asleep as Assistant #2 did her reading assignment…
