Suburbs have existed for over a hundred years as real estate speculations and private escapes from ‘unhealthy’ lifestyle and habits of cities. But their importance, especially in the American landscape, exploded in the building boom following World War II. Starting from… The Suburbs looks at the past fifty years of suburban culture through the lens of the CCA Collection’s photography holdings, produced by photographers’ longstanding attraction and aversion to this urban form. Starting from… The Suburbs is inspired by Montreal- based band Arcade Fire and director Spike Jonze’s 2010 music video, The Suburbs, a dystopian re-imagining of an Austin, Texas, subdivision. Starting From… The Suburbs is the result of a conversation between Cerys Wilson and Marta Masferrer Juliol. www.cca.qc.ca
From photo-copied and print-on-demand newsletters such as Another Pamphlet , Scapegoat and Preston is My Paris , to magazines such as Mark , Spam and PIN-UP – ARCHIZINES celebrates and promotes the recent resurgence of alternative and independent architectural publishing from around the world. The exhibition, curated by Elias Redstone, originated as an online project and showcases 60 architecture magazines, fanzines and journals from over 20 countries. From Australia and Argentina to the UK and USA, these independent publications are reframing how people relate to their built environment – taking comment and criticism out of just an architectural arena and into everyday life. The titles also provide platforms for architectural research and debate, and demonstrate the residual love of the printed word and paper page – providing an antidote to digital publishing. Made by architects, artists and students, they add an important, and often radical, addition to architectural discourse. Each magazine is available to read in the exhibition along with video interviews with their creators talking about their work. Porto June 2012
