SCHEDULING CONFLICTS
Join architect and editor Christina Moushoul to discuss the material remnants left behind in break room, including the “collective calendar” that visitors contributed to over the course of the exhibition’s run. Moushoul will discuss her work with the research and design collective Office Party, which critically examines the role of parties and similar ephemeral spaces as the origin of complex social and material networks with urban, political, and environmental effects.
We will ask together: How can the media of scheduling operate both as tools of projection and tools of reflection? Between their intended rigidity and the complex dynamics of the workplace, where lies their ability to account for things that don’t go according to plan?
