For spatial and discursive practices alike, the vacuum implicates a inescapable set of problematics pertaining to the dichotomies of excess/ scarcity, production/destruction, collection/displacement, accumulation/ dissemination. What role does art and architecture play in the production of vacuums? Philosophically, aesthetically and ethically, how do we design, curate, and create within a vacuum?

VACUUM (SPECS) Published and edited by Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation Masters of Science in Critical, Curatorial, and Conceptual Practices (CCCP) class of 2018.
