Five Prefab Houses Built at MoMA's Parking Lot
SMAC visits the latest show at the Museum of Modern Art in New York called Home Delivery. The exhibit addresses one of the hot topics in architecture since 1833 - prefabricated housing.
The idea of making houses in factories speaks to such central issues as sustainability, low cost and speed of production and provides fertile ground for architectural experimentation, utopian thinking and futuristic designs. Barry Bergdoll, MoMA’s chief curator of Architecture & Design, gives SMAC a tour of the five houses erected for the show. These range from a second home on a beach to a digitally fabricated design that would replace the lost homes in New Orleans.
During the tour we spoke with the architects Stephen Kieran and James Timberlake of the Cellophane House, Jeremy Edmiston and Douglas Gauthier of Burst* 008, and Oskar Leo Kaufmann of System3 about the specifics of their design.

Mouse Jacket Grown, Euthanized In Museum Lab
In one of the odder stories we've spotted in some time, an installation called "Victimless Leather" was on display at NY's MoMA. The piece was actually a living jacket crafted from mouse embryonic stem cells, fed nutrients through tubes. But after five weeks, it grew too large for its containment flask and had to be killed.
The exhibit's curator cut the coat off from nutrition and it died thereafter. But the decision haunted her.
I've always been pro-choice and all of a sudden I'm here not sleeping at night about killing a coat...That thing was never alive before it was grown.
Personally, it's the image of a pulsating living rat coat that's going to keep me from sleeping. Did anyone see the exhibit? In one of the odder stories we've spotted in some time, an installation called "Victimless Leather" was on display at N... more -
Curator euthanizes living leather jacket made from human mouse stem-cells
A curator at NY-MOMA had to euthanize a living leather jacket made from human mouse stem-cells -- the art-work had grown out of control and threatened to overflow its containment unit.
...One of the central works in the exhibition “Design and the Elastic Mind” at the Museum of Modern Art in New York (until 12 May), Victimless Leather, a small jacket made up of embryonic stem cells taken from mice, has died. The artists, Oron Catts and Ionat Zurr, say the work which was fed nutrients by tube, expanded too quickly and clogged its own incubation system just five weeks after the show opened...
Ms Antonelli says the jacket “started growing, growing, growing until it became too big. And [the artists] were back in Australia, so I had to make the decision to kill it. And you know what? I felt I could not make that decision. I’ve always been pro-choice and all of a sudden I’m here not sleeping at night about killing a coat...That thing was never alive before it was grown.” A curator at NY-MOMA had to euthanize a living leather jacket made from human mouse stem-cells -- the art-work had grown out of contro... more -
Graffiti Research Lab @ MoMA
pretty ill.
how many of these gents thought they would have an opportunity to put a throw-up INSIDE the MoMA? and that people would come to appreciate their style and watch them work, rather than arrest them? i dig.
I have to say though- they could have changed things up and gone without some of the cliche tags- 'fuck this museum' and 'we get money' reads a little, old.
but hey, it's their art. pretty ill. ... more -
Design and the Elastic Mind - Design - Review - New York Times
A NY Times review of the a new exhibit at MoMa.
It pits once again the idea of nature vs technology and where the human mind fits in that scheme. It opens with a spray paint can spraying graffiti but being held and controlled by various wires with amazing accuracy. Long review but good to get an idea of what's going on.
