storefront 2115: (not) OUT THERE was commissioned by the Storefront for Art and Architecture in New York as part of the Measure group exhibition in 2015 featuring 30 drawings by 30 international architects. pneumastudio’s drawing was mentioned in a New York Times review of the exhibition titled “’Measure’ Investigates the Art of Quantifying”, August 27, 2015.

Architect Steven Holl and artist Vito Acconci’s design for The Storefront for Art and Architecture famously negotiates an inherently ambiguous boundary between the interior and exterior, private and public, as well as cultural and civic spaces of the city. Our speculative re-drawing of their design reimagines this negotiation between increasingly ambiguous human / nonhuman agents and boundaries. Cast into the uncertain future of the 21st century metropolis, in which the physical (and philosophical) boundaries are already eroding under pressure from the signals and the noise of climate change, Storefront is reconceived as a “(not) OUT THERE”, no longer exclusive to human culture.
