This exhibition investigates art and its relationship to the built environment. Architecturally... concerns itself with the in-between,
the collaborative and the transdisciplinary. The primacy of the disciplines of art and architecture will be temporarily suspended
for a more inclusive dialog on space and the site specific. The artists and projects shown represent a wide range of disciplines
including architecture, photography, painting, sculpture, video and dance, transcending the walls of Hendershot Gallery to
encompass the entire sixth floor of the building.

Special Event - Closing Party, January 30 - 4-9 pm

Diana Balmori, founding principal of Balmori Associates, brings a breadth of experience in architecture, urban design, landscape architecture, ecology, architectural history and sustainability to her New York-based landscape and urban design office. Recognized internationally, Dr. Balmori has been honored by numerous institutions, including the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Institute of Architects. In 2006, Dr. Balmori was appointed a Senior Fellow in Garden and Landscape Studies at Dumbarton Oaks in Washington, DC.; Dr. Balmori serves her second term on the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts.

Diana Balmori’s Landscape Manifesto will be published by Yale University Press in fall 2010. Featuring an introduction by Michel Conan, one of landscape architecture’s most respected historians, Balmori’s book heralds a significant development in the literature of landscape as an art.
William O'Brien Jr. is an Assistant Professor of Architecture at the MIT School of Architecture and Planning and is principal of an independent design practice in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
His research and creative practice have been fostered by an interest in the relationships between architecture, technology, landscape, and urbanism with an emphasis on the development of alternative resonances between natural and artificial systems. He has taught previously at The University of California Berkeley as a Bernard Maybeck Fellow and was the LeFevre Emerging Practitioner Fellow at the Ohio State University. He was also Assistant Professor at The University of Texas at Austin where he taught advanced theory seminars and design studios in the graduate curriculum. O’Brien pursued his graduate studies at Harvard University where he was the recipient of the Faculty Design Award. He has been named a MacDowell Fellow by the MacDowell Colony in Peterborough, New Hampshire. His recent publications include essays in Log Journal and ACADIA re:Form.
David Ruy is an architect, theorist, and co-director of Ruy Klein, an experimental design office in New York City. The work of Ruy Klein has been widely published and exhibited, and is recognized as one of the most respected speculative practices in architecture today. Focused on the emergence of a synthetic sublime in recent design culture, David’s work and research examines contemporary design problems at the intersection of architecture, nature, and technology. With extensive experience at many academic institutions, David is a leading figure in the development of new models for architectural research. David is currently an Associate Professor in the Graduate School of Architecture at the Pratt Institute, where he is also the director of The Network for Emerging Architectural Research (NEAR).
Allan Wexler has worked in the fields of architecture, design and fine art for twenty-five years. He is represented by the Ronald Feldman Gallery in New York City and teaches at parsons the New School for Design. Allan’s works explore human activity and the built environment. He works as an investigator using series, permutations and chance rather than searching for definitive solutions. He makes buildings, furniture, vessels and utensils as backdrops and props for everyday, ordinary human activity. The works isolate, elevate and monumentalize our daily rituals: dining, sleeping, and bathing. And they, in turn, become mechanisms that activate ritual, cermony, and movement, turning these ordinary activities into theater
Alisha Wormsley is a multi-media artist, photographer, teaching artist and writer from Pittsburgh, PA. She was trained in anthropology and documentary arts at UC Berkeley. Now Brooklyn-based, she continues to exhibit work in photography, montage, and multi-media installation. Alisha has been a teaching artist for many cultural institutions including ICP, The Romare Bearden Foundation, and The Studio Museum of Harlem. Presently she is in the beginning stages of creating her own gallery/public youth art space in Pittsburgh, PA. Alisha is a core collaborator in Found Art and EXCESS, a project originated in Santiago de Cuba. This project, created by Wormsley and another artist, facilitates collaboration in efforts to restructure public art in the architectural plans of city planning. It is scheduled to be implemented in 5 cities during 2010 globally ending in Rotterdam. During the last three consecutive years, Wormsley has held a three-month long residency at Project Row House in Houston, TX. During this time she has been working on Lilith the Succubus—a multi media opera that uses opera, choreography and photography, film and installation as equal mediums of expression. When she is not in her own studio, she is traveling, teaching, or working in some other aspect of the art making process.
