Sulan Kolatan. A principal in the New Yorkbased architecture firm Kolatan/MacDonald Studio, Kolatan utilizes computer technology to develop fluid designs that fold structures and surfaces into integrated elements, from furniture to interiors to whole buildings. Kolatan is featured in the MoMA exhibition SAFE: Design Takes On Risk. October 21, 6:30 p.m.
Chris Burden. Burden burst onto the art scene in the late 1970s with such provocative and controversial performances as Shoot (1971), which explored the physical and psychological limits of the artists body. Burden has since created an array of work that includes installations, drawings, and photogravures that address technology, power, and the status of the art object. October 28, 6:30 p.m.
