The common room lecture and installation 5 Obstructions (for Architecture) address the crisis of innovation and creativity within the current cultural landscape. The exhibition and lecture explore the interruption of everyday spaces through strategies of re-appropriation and mis-use creating the potential for open-ended forms of dialog and emancipation.

This presentation and exhibit is taking place at the Häfele NY Showroom as part of New Practices New York|2008.

We would especially like to thank Justin Capuco, Luke Cohen, Rachel Himmelfarb, John Risch and Chris Starkey for their involvement in the work leading up to the exhibition.
