Architecture & Design NOW: Coryn Kempster and Julia Jamrozik
Subjective Objectives
6 pm, January 13, 2020
Room L1060, Library (LINC) building
Free admission, everyone welcome!

Julia Jamrozik and Coryn Kempster are Canadian designers, artists and educators, who endeavour to create spaces, objects and situations that interrupt the ordinary in critically engaging and playful ways. Their multi-disciplinary practice operates at a variety of scales, from temporary installations to permanent public artworks and architectural projects. Their academic research focuses on the role of play in the built environment and alternative methods of documentation as forms of historic preservation. They will discuss three agendas in their practice: Expanded Preservation, Domestic Narratives and Social Infrastructures.
