ANDRéS JAQUE “OFFICE FOR POLITICAL INNOVATION: DIFFERENT KINDS OF WATER POURING INTO A SWIMMING POOL”
NEWSText: Satsuki Miyanishi
Andrés Jaque will present the exhibition “Office for Political Innovation: Different Kinds of Water Pouring Into a Swimming Pool” at REDCAT (Roy and Edna Disney/Calarts Theater).
In this first solo project by Andrés Jaque in Los Angeles, the architect prepares an exhibition, with a series of architectural case studies based in the city of L.A., in which he problematizes the importance of such cases as places of socialization and community, leaving behind the stereotypes that characterize them as disconnected spaces, symbols of ultra-individuality and comfort.
Andrés Jaque and the Office for Political Innovation was founded in Madrid in 2005. This architecture office explores the potential of post-foundational politics and symmetrical approaches to the sociology of technology to rethink architectural practices.
