The second meeting in this series will take place on Friday, April 23, starting at 2:00 PM, under the theme "Decoration and Feminine and Masculine Identities."

Digital media artists, Dyson & Womack are accepting submissions for the Public Art CA digital media call for entries. Public Art CA is a contemporary art collection commissioned for the California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA) and the California Health and Human Services (CHHS) new buildings in downtown Sacramento. 

The Competition aspires to have a realistically feasible project that will restore vitality to the district and aims to select the best proposals of an urban and landscape project relevant to the competition zone, foreseeing the establishment of a university campus with residences, study zones and laboratories, green areas and sports areas that will go to complete the planned building of residential and commercial buildings. The objective is urban requalification of the zone that unites the ex TECUMSEH area (circa 40.000 m2) and the CASTELLO DI MIRAFIORI area (circa 30.000 m2) starting from the indications present in the “Notes about the Planning” document attached to the Competition Notice.
The Competition calls for an overall project for the entire portion of territory integrating the park and the built areas with the relevant surrounding environmental context and in general with the pre-existing buildings of the district. The project will evaluate the eventual recovery, even if only partial, of the industrial buildings within the abandoned areas for services. The graphic sheets must show in a synthetic way both the idea of urban insertion and the architectural-building features.

The seminar “Jorge Wilheim: Faint Hope in the Vast Chaos” aims to highlight the theses on the future of cities in the 21st century—developed by Wilheim during the UN Istanbul Conference in the 1990s and expanded upon in publications in the early 2000s—and to present the architect’s thinking as an urban planner, based on his publications: “The Istanbul Path,” with its appendix “Our Fruitful End-of-the-World,” and “Faint Hope in the Vast Chaos – Questions of the 21st Century Proto-Renaissance.”

"We had become accustomed to self-exploitation, exhaustion, competition, and perfect performance. However, a microscopic virus forced us to stop (perhaps for the better, at least in this regard). We had to learn to care for ourselves. After more than a year of the pandemic, we became aware of our vulnerability and our dependence on others... we have not only learned to care for ourselves and others, but we have also established relationships of care with 'non-human' agents: plants or pets within our homes; heritage buildings and neighborhoods in our cities; or even landscapes and ecosystems on a territorial scale.
