DESCRIPTION:Open Lecture: Broken Windows: The Art of Demolition Monday
 \, 30.06.2025\, 18-20\, Alter Senatssaal Kollegienhaus While New York 
 City is a now thoroughly financialized and gentrified space\, New York
  City in the mid-1970&#8217\;s was the terrain for a competing set of 
 relations to masonry\, buildings\, walls\, glass and the business of a
 rt and architecture. Through a prismatic juxtaposition of artists who 
 are rarely read in relation to one another\, we can assess these compe
 ting visions of the city\, some utopian and others dystopian\, some co
 mmitted to improvement\, others to destitution. And while artists Gord
 on Matta-Clark and Beverly Buchanan\, in very different ways\, shared 
 a love of decaying walls and crumbling brick and saw in them alternati
 ve forms of vitality\, as we will see\, businessman architect\, Philip
  Johnson\, entertained fascistic visions of social domination through 
 architecture and of individual greatness through monumentality. A clos
 er look at Johnson&#8217\;s work demonstrates that there is a potentia
 lly sinister side to improvement\, expansion\, repair and shiny surfac
 es. This talk examines the dynamics of building and unbuilding in rela
 tion to queer community\, aesthetic practice and discourses of urban r
 enewal. Researcher in Residence 2025: Jack Halberstam (Columbia Univer
 sity in the City of New York)
