LATER LAYER, a site-specific installation designed by architects Johnston Marklee and artist Walead Beshty, will be on view at the Italian Cultural Institute (IIC) in Los Angeles from January 15-February 28, 2010. The installation will feature architectural models of Johnston Marklee’s work in Italy and Beshty’s photog...rams in the DEPART Foundation Collection. Presented as two connected projects; Johnston Marklee’s architectural models and Beshty’s photograms will be displayed throughout the gallery in a field of modular nesting boxes designed collaboratively by the artist and the architects. Sponsored by DEVELOP RE and presented by the DEPART Foundation and the IIC, LATER LAYER reflects the DEPART Foundation’s mission of fostering critical discourse and innovation in art, architecture and design. There will be an opening reception on January 15 at 7:00 pm at the IIC, located at 1023 Hilgard Avenue.
LATER LAYER, the title of the installation, refers to the serial aspect present in the strategies deployed by both architect and artist. The word ‘Later,’ which means ‘brick’ in Latin, alludes to Adolf Loos’ definition of an architect as ‘a bricklayer who had studied Latin;’ while also referring to the unit module and the serial repetition in Johnston Marklee’s and Walead Beshty’s work respectively.
Johnston Marklee’s contribution to the installation includes a series of elemental building blocks that form coherent groups of disparate masses designed to accommodate a variety of uses including art exhibition and production, creative businesses and residences.
Walead Beshty uses photography to as a tool to explore the social and political conditions of our material culture with a focus on the social and political dimension of transitional spaces. His work in the DEPART Foundation Collection includes abstract photograms which question the principals of photography and visual culture; as well as geometric glass sculptures dimensioned to fit inside FedEx containers –where the cracks and fissures accrued from their own transportation become intrinsic content of the work.

As part of Artissima 16 Theatre Project “Blinding the Ears” the new program curated for November 2009, DEPART FOUNDATION and Arthub has invited the artist Cao Fei to create a special live performance based on her RMB City project – an experimental city and community in the internet-based virtual world of Second Life, a...nd continue her investigation between digital fantastyscapes and the physical world. For this new live Cao Fei embarks on the challenge of not only creating new chapter of RMB City but also working with two avatar-actors and various staging elements to create a new drama based on the “model dramas” (Yang Ban Xi= politically-approved performance form during the Cultural Revolution period as traditional opera was banned).
The project is curated by Davide Quadro and produced by DEPART

DEPART is happy to present for the first time in Italy the SCREENING OF “CAPTURED” by Ben Solomon & Dan Levin.
The film documentary will be shown during the event NO MORE MINUTE that will take place at Macro Future, PIAZZA ORAZIO GIUSTINIANI, 4.
October 10th from 7pm.
CAPTURED is the story of one man's commitment to c...hronicling the legendary Lower East Side, and the individuals who define it. Since the early 1980s Clayton Patterson has been fully dedicated to documenting the final era of this historic and eclectic neighborhood long known for its humble streets, revolutionary minds and creative influence. He has obsessively recorded its many faces: from drag to hardcore, heroin to homelessness, political chaos to gentrification. CAPTURED profiles Patterson's odyssey from voyeur to provocateur, and from activist to renegade archivist. This fast-paced documentary includes Patterson's rare and renowned footage of the Tompkins Square police riots, and provides a close-up look at a fascinating character and chapter of urban culture

The meat hooks are still there, but there are no dripping carcasses hanging at Rome's old slaughterhouse. Instead, 60 artists from New York have filled the space with electric colors, hypnotic sculptures and graphic photographs.
