North is 'X' Positive
With original work created and curated by FARMM, the exhibition North is ‘X’ Positive showcases a series of “shack” prototypes that interrogate the research-creation process as it relates to our contemporary understanding of technics. As part of the SSHRC-funded project Modeling the Methodologies of Our Time [MMOT], this exhibit showcases artifacts from the process of designing shacks that employ conceptual, operative and technical mechanisms of three prolific architectural models: parametric, biological and biomorphic. Presented in conjunction with the Working Models Forum.

Faces and Places: Tribute to Jack Goldsmith

Travel photographs by Jack Goldsmith. Jack Goldsmith (1949-2014) was McGill’s photographer since 1976; he co-founded the Montreal Carpet Appreciation Society in 1978; he was a rug and rare book collector on West and East Asian art, travel and T.E. Lawrence. He studied photography at Dawson College, graduated from Concordia University in Anthropology and taught both subjects intermittently. At the end of his life he was preparing a photo exhibition: portraits of people, children and characters of good cheer taken during his travels around the globe. His closest friends have completed this project by adding some architectural landscapes and sites.
