#SYNCHRONICITY / The Social Territories of a Warming World
Exhibition | August 12 – September 14, 2019
在第 18 街的机场画廊举办的展览探讨了圣莫尼卡景观中的流动性和空间正义概念，由一系列艺术作品和提案组成，这些作品和提案来自冬季办公室对变暖世界设计的持续艺术研究。在 2019 年 4 月至 9 月的 6 个月时间里，该小组重点关注洛杉矶大都会地区的文化组织及其城市环境/基础设施，并提出以下问题：这些组织能够与它们所服务的社区合作，并在其周围的社会结构中改造或发展（气候适应之外）多少城市？该装置与该团体同时在帕萨迪纳军械库艺术中心举办的展示活动相呼应，探讨了建立一个公正、有韧性和多元化城市的集体化战略，该战略将促进使用、风格和流动形式的多样化，从而使人们能够进入一个由多个不同艺术组织组成的景观。.
冬季办公室正在围绕当地文化机构的发展及其在圣莫尼卡市的作用进行新的思考，反映出对洛杉矶大都会区所需密度的新理解，文化机构可以在其中发挥作用；不仅是其所代表社区城市发展的强大而公正的合作伙伴，也是理解和促进缓解气候危机的新设计途径的载体。为此，冬季办公室一直在研究第 18 街艺术中心、其在皮克街区和圣莫尼卡机场的城市周边环境、连接和流通；并与第 18 街社区的不同成员会面，以进一步了解和理解我们的艺术机构所面临的城市挑战。.
展览中的作品包括一本对城市景观进行视觉分析的文件集，其中可以探讨关于机场新连接和新想法的建议。此外，作为展览过程的一部分，在整个月中还将以艺术作品和文件的形式增加小型干预活动。装置的另一个方面是一张新设计的桌子，它可以作为一个临时录音棚，将公民参与和对话作为自下而上的力量，推动城市规划。这个播客平台将成为一个广播站，并作为军械库和第 18 街对话系列中公共对话的聚集点，对话系列的标题也是《变暖世界的社会领土》，与军械库艺术中心的 "非完美居住"（Non-Perfect Dwelling）展览直接相关（展览将持续到 9 月 15 日）。.
冬季办公室设计的对话项目将当地的活动家、组织、机构和政治领袖、艺术家和学者等聚集在一起，就 21 世纪城市中的非理想艺术理论、合作设计和空间正义展开对话，尤其是针对气候变化后出现的新的未知社会领域。.

Transformations
Exhibition | August 29 – September 28, 201
18th Street Arts Center invites you to the first exhibition in the Hallway Galleries at our new Airport campus. Based on the theme of “transformation,” the exhibition features curated works by the artists who currently make up the community of residents at the airport studios. For this first group exhibition in the Hallway Galleries, 18th Street Arts Center has invited Daniela Lieja, curator at LACE, to co-curate this show along with 18th Street’s Artistic Programs team.
关于艺术家
THE WINTER OFFICE (TWO) is an experimental artistic and professional work group generating advanced design solutions for this century’s challenges of a sustainable urban infrastructure. The group consists of artists, curators, architects, designers, and social scientists, who are either based in or connected to Copenhagen. The Winter Office upholds a creative strategy concerned with blending and defining collaborations between art, architecture, social science and design. As a network and work group it also seeks design challenges in cultural, developmental, educational, and disaster-recovery infrastructure that is needed in urban, suburban, and exurban environments. Drawing on architecture, planning, and social science research, The Winter Office hopes to respond with initiatives that can express themselves both in art and architecture in favor of new uses for social/urban planning and design. To this end, the group seeks to enable the production of final objects, constructions, research and exhibitions to raise the quality of the built environment. The group was founded in 2010 by the American artist Hugo Hopping and the Danish architect/urban planner Johanna Ferrer Guldager.
