From 8-12 June 2010, Storefront for Art and Architecture,
in partnership with Museo
Experimental El Eco, Tomo and Domus Magazine, will host
the third edition of Postopolis!, a
public five-day session of near-continuous conversation
curated by some of the world's most
prominent bloggers from the fields of architecture, art,
urbanism, landscape, music and design.
10 world-renowned bloggers from Los Angeles, New York,
Turin, Barcelona, London and
elsewhere will convene in one location in Mexico City to
host a series of discussions, interviews,
slideshows, presentations, films and panels fusing the
informal and interdisciplinary approach of
the architecture blogosphere with rare face-to-face
interaction.
Each day, the 10 participating bloggers will meet in the
magnificent courtyard of Museo
Experimental El Eco (picture above), designed by Matthias
Goeritz, to
conduct back-to-back interviews of some
of Mexico City's most influential thinkers and practitioners
– including architects, city planners,
artists and urban theorists but also military historians,
filmmakers, photographers, activists and
musicians. The talks will be conducted in either Spanish or
English, and translations will be
available. Each day of talks will end with an after-party
hosted by some of Mexico City's most
influential music blogs.
The first Postopolis! took place in the gallery space at
Storefront for Art and Architecture during
the summer of 2007, and a second edition was held in Los
Angeles in 2009 (picture below).
