FreelandBuck's “Out of the Picture,” the finalist entry for MoMA PS1's 2018 Young Architects Program, is being exhibited at The Museum of Modern Art as part of Young Architects Program 2018.The exhibition features models and images of FreelandBuck's proposed design for MoMA PS1's courtyard along with the four other finalists' proposed projects by LeCavalier R+D, BairBalliet, OFICINAA, and Dream the Combine.“Out of the Picture” emerges from images. It is a physical space for being together, but it is made to be translated into other, virtual formats. It borrows the language of images (graphic density, saturation, illusion, legibility) and translates it back into something physical. Visitors enter a world of imagery, where everything is somehow recognizable but a bit out of focus and low resolution.The proposal brings the streetscapes of Long Island City into the MoMA PS1 courtyard, both literally and scenographically. Objects from the street (stoops, benches, mailboxes, fire hydrants) invade the courtyard while its bounding walls host views outward, onto the city. A canopy, woven from the same scenes, extends overhead, casting recognizable shadows. The result is a three dimensional drawing at building scale that asks to be puzzled over and made sense of — both as a massive floating object and a continually surprising landscape of illusion. The exhibition will also travel to MoMA's international partners at MAXXI, Museo nazionale delle arti del XXI secolo, Rome, and CONSTRUCTO, Santiago.FreelandBuck is a Los Angeles and New York City based architectural office led by David Freeland and Brennan Buck. Established in 2009, the office makes buildings, spaces, and objects that open multiple modes of engagement through layers of meaning, illusion, and visual effect. FreelandBuck was named a finalist for the 2018 MoMA PS1 Young Architect’s Program, a member of Architectural Record’s 2017 Design Vanguard, and a winner of the 2017 AIA LA Next LA Award for their project, Second House. Other recent projects include “Parallax Gap,” an installation for the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Los Angeles headquarters of Hungry Man Productions, among other residential, commercial, and cultural commissions. David Freeland teaches at SCI-Arc and Brennan Buck at the Yale School of Architecture. “Young Architects Program 2018” is on view through September 3, 2018, at The Museum of Modern Art.http://www.blouinartinfo.com/              Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
