Dimensions of Citizenship, roundtable presented by the US Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2018

Dimensions of Citizenship, roundtable presented by the US Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2018
and e-flux Architecture

Dimensions of Citizenship, the theme of the US Pavilion at the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale, co-commissioned by the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) and the University of Chicago, challenges architects and designers to envision what it means to be a citizen today. As transnational flows of capital, digital technologies, and geopolitical transformations expand, conventional notions of citizenship are undermined. How might architecture, then, express, and engage with today’s rhizomatic and paradoxical conditions of citizenship?

US Pavilion curators Niall Atkinson, Ann Lui, and Mimi Zeiger, and associate curator Iker GIl, are collaborating with e-flux Architecture editors Nick Axel and Nikolaus Hirsch on an online publication that will respond to contemporary and historical understandings of the concept of citizenship and how questions of inclusions and exclusion (and points in between) are spatially constructed. These texts use history, theory, and criticism to expand upon the commissioned architectural works on view. Authors include architects, designers, historians, critics, and theorists. Starting in early May and continuing throughout the duration of the Biennale, contributions will be circulated by e-flux Architecture and appear online on the e-flux Architecture website. The essays will also appear in the Dimensions of Citizenship print catalog and the official exhibition website.

The Dimensions of Citizenship roundtable discussion brings together US Pavilion curators and e-flux Architecture editors with New York-based contributors to the pavilion and publication series for the first time.

Ann Lui and Mimi Zeiger, US Pavilion curators 
Nick Axel and Nikolaus Hirsch, e-flux Architecture editors

Participants:
Ingrid Burrington, author of Networks of New York: An Illustrated Field Guide to Urban Internet Infrastructure  
Elizabeth Diller, Diller Scofidio + Renfro
