Louis Stern Fine Arts is pleased to present Richard Neutra: Travel Drawings, on display March 23-May 4, 2024. Richard Neutra (1892-1970) is best known as an icon in the world of architecture, whose notable residential and commercial projects exemplified the functional principles and minimalist aesthetics of the mid-century modern movement. The lively drawings in this exhibition, executed during the architect’s numerous travels throughout Europe, Asia, and the Americas over the course of the 1950s and 1960s, manifest the same empathetic and curious spirit that characterized Neutra’s architectural practice. Serving as a form of communication that transcended language barriers, these expressive drawings offer a profound window into the perspective and interior life of their celebrated maker.

We often take plants in the urban landscape for granted: we see them on a daily basis but don’t really look. We usually cannot name them, nor do we know whether they’re edible or have healing properties. It’s typically only when nature becomes a nuisance, for example during allergy season, that we take note of plants in the city.

BuildFest invites academics and researchers to propose ideas for large-scale art installations to be built on the historic grounds of the 1969 Woodstock festival. Over the course of a five-day live-work festival, accepted participants will work with self-organized student teams to build, install, and work through on-site design solutions. Once completed, the selection of installations will be utilized during the Catbird Music Festival—an Americana festival taking place on the historic 1969 Woodstock site—as functional art-infrastructures to be experienced and adapted for festival attendees.

THE TERRITORY AND SPATIAL VISION OF THE RIGA PASSENGER TERMINAL
LLC "Riga Ropax Terminal” announces an open Sketch Design competition for a new passenger and ro-ro cargo terminal. A new passenger terminal would put Riga on the map of European cruise ports, provide modern and environmentally friendly ferry passenger services in Riga, and create new opportunities for developing the ro-ro cargo segment. The new terminal will be located in the southern part of Exportosta, reducing traffic in the city center of Riga and reducing sound and air pollution.
The task of the Competition is to determine the best proposal for the vision of spatial development of the territory of the Riga ROPAX terminal.
