Views of Planet City Live
In this multi-part event accompanying the exhibition Views of Planet City, storytelling performances and lectures by Liam Young, Damjan Jovanovic, and Jennifer Chen take the audience on journeys through the speculative worlds the three artists have developed in response to Young's original vision of Planet City—a single city designed for the entire human population of the Earth, in a consensual response to the encroaching climate crisis. A concluding panel brings all five artists behind the Views of Planet City exhibition (whose second part is on display in SCI-Arc Gallery in the Arts District, Downtown LA) in a conversation about the collective process of interpreting the Planet City scenario, which has resulted in five idiosyncratic, yet intersecting samples of architectural futures.
Presented in conjunction with SCI-Arc (Southern California Institute of Architecture) PST ART: Art & Science Collide exhibition Views of Planet City.
