Draw-Think-Tank: Emerging Territories of Movement 15x180 Manifestos

Storefront for Art and Architecture and the Audi Urban Future Initiative will present DRAW-THINK-TANK: Emerging Territories of Movement 15x180 Manifestos at the "Festival of Ideas for The New City" on Saturday, May 7th, 2011 from 4 to 7pm in New York City. The event will take place in the mobile space structure designed by the German group Raumlabor: the SpaceBuster. The SpaceBuster will be situated at the intersection of Houston Street and the Sara D Roosevelt Park within the StreetFest.

The event will consist of a live staging of manifestos by a group of 15 individuals consisting of architects, engineers, writers, sociologists, anthropologists, philosophers and other relevant and emerging figures, followed by a short discussion.

Simultaneously, and in order to foster creativity and reflection, the innovative platform “Draw-Think-Tank”, designed as an ipad application especially for this event, will allow participants and visitors to collaborate in the construction of a collective drawing projected in the walls of the SpaceBuster to expose in the public arena their ideas in a space of synergy and cross-collaboration.

The event will be structured in three sessions of 1 hour each where a curated multidisciplinary group of 5 individuals will present individually a 4-minute manifesto (7 points and 7 images). The three sessions, moderated by Christian Gärtner, Director of Stylepark and Eva Franch, Director of Storefront for Art and Architecture, will discuss Emerging Territories of Movement in three different spaces of action.

Urbanizing Technologies with Saskia Sassen,Christian Schüller, Molly Wright Steenson,Mark Shepard,Joseph Grima.

"This collaborative project between Storefront for Art and Architecture and the Audi Urban Future Initiative will bring together students, visionaries, emerging thinkers, experts and decision makers to envision the future of cities and the interaction of their inhabitants through an innovative technological platform that will radically change the way we think and work.

DRAW –THINK-TANK is not only about ideas, it is about how to make greater ideas through collective specific intelligence. It offers a new methodology for representation and generation that will change the future by thinking and making it together. It takes democracy where it belongs, into the space of debate, synergy and action.” Eva Franch i Gilabert, Leiterin  Storefront for Art and Architecture
