The Architecture and Design Project Series has programmed experimental projects by established and emerging architects for over 25 years, initiating a dialogue between architecture and art that has become an integral part of the programming at Artists Space. This exhibition presents a site-specific installation by an experimental Berlin-based architecture and artists collaborative. In 2000 the brothers Tim Edler and Jan Edler founded realities:united, a studio for art, architecture, and technology. Realities:united develops and supports architectural solutions, usually incorporating new media and information technologies. One major focus of realities:united is architecture's outward communicative capacity. Another is the quality of the user experience inside spaces, which in function and appearance is essentially augmented and changed by additional layers carrying information, media content, and communication. Some of the studio's projects resemble classical architectural work, but venture regularly into art, design, or technology research. Most projects are intended to serve as a catalyst in a given situation, and are therefore strongly determined by identifying, transforming, amplifying, and combining various existing potentials.

Artists Space

Founded in 1972, Artists Space has successfully contributed to changing the institutional and economic landscape for contemporary art in New York City - lending support to emerging ideas and emerging artists alike.

Today, Artists Space is a place for discussion and examination that proposes new modes of production, setting new relations into play and shifting its focus away from the presentation of works alone - ultimately, a center for new ideas in a radically changing world.
