MATERIALS
& APPLICATIONS, with MOHAMED SHARIF
&
live musical guest, THE DANBURY SHAKES
…Spread the Word
Sunday, March 26th, join Jenna Didier and Oliver Hess of
Materials & Applications (M&A), a research center for experimental
architecture, design and art in Los Angeles, recently featured in Dwell
magazine. M&A will open its next installation “Here There Be
Monsters” on the 15th of March, and will present an in-depth discussion
of this exhibit and their previous work at the March Speakeasy. The radical
transformation of M&A’s outdoor exhibit space for “Here
There Be Monsters” will involve flooding the entire courtyard with
water and creating a unique and subtly responsive environment, spanned
by a hyperboloid-shaped bamboo foot bridge that resembles a fraying warped
tube.
The evening’s featured artist is designer Mohamed Sharif of Koning
Eizenberg Architecture. Live musical guest is the newly formed Danbury
Shakes.
Shh…the secret cocktail will feature lime, whiskey and…water.
A Pick-Up-Sticks competition is also promised.
.
Password is
“Water, water every where
And all the boards did shrink
Water, water every where
Nor any drop to drink”
Why socialize on a Sunday? Because mingling is good for your mental health.

The Danbury Shakes
Straight
outta Long Beach, California, The Danbury Shakes are indie-rock in the
vein of Neil Young, Wilco, Elliot Smith and Uncle Tupelo with more than
a bit of 60's Garage thrown in for good measure. The line-up features
Rob Roberge (Vocals, Guitars), Gayle Fornataro (Bass Guitar) and Steve
Alfaro (Drums). www.myspace.com/danburyshakes.

of this and their previous work at the March Speakeasy. The next radical
transformation of the outdoor exhibit space will involve flooding the
entire courtyard with water and creating a unique and subtly responsive
environment. Spanned by a hyperboloid-shaped bamboo foot bridge that
resembles a fraying warped tube and lined with artificially intelligent
water systems, the design results from a collaborative effort by infranatural,
Bruce Danziger of Arup and Sci-arc and designers Moritz Freund and Shu-Chi
Hsu. M&A is a non-profit organization that conducts architecture and
landscape research in an environment open to all. Want to help build
