The Architecture Foundation’s new education programme will engage and empower a team of 16 – 19 year olds who live or study in Southwark to explore the area and the changes that are underfoot in Bankside. Bankside Urban Forest is a fresh and creative way to look at this distinctive part of Southwark, building on its existing and unique qualities. It attempts to connect the larger neighbourhoods through a series of people-friendly interventions. It provides a way for coordinating public space projects to help achieve a network of inspiring spaces and places across the area which are coherent as well as diverse.

This is Thomas Demands latest work - this is a 1:1 constructed environment - out of paper. Well worth a gander if you are in town towards mayfair christmas shopping or passing en route to Piccadilly?

SEQUENCES
This is a great archive of filmed art books - collected and well proportioned publications which are clear and graphically challenging. Food for thought as we pace toward the portfolio hand in.

NIGHT SCHOOL
Night School is an artist commission in the form of a temporary school. The yearlong program uses the Museum as a site to engage the public. Seminars, workshops, screenings, and lectures explore thematic components addressed from the perspective of ongoing research and production, and constitute the core structure of the School. Night School draws upon a group of local and international artists, writers, and theorists to conceptualize and conduct the program, including Boris Groys, Martha Rosler, Liam Gillick, Walid Raad and Jalal Toufic, Okwui Enwezor, Hu Fang and Zhang Wei, Paul Chan, Rirkrit Tiravanija, Natascha Sadr Haghighian, Maria Lind, and Raqs Media Collective. Lectures, screenings, and conversations take place in the New Museum's theater and fifth-floor Museum as Hub space, as well as informal locations throughout the neighborhood.
