Lachlan Turczan's practice sits in the space between physics, optics, and environmental art, as he works with lasers, water, mist, and custom-built lenses to produce sculptures made entirely from light.
To drink, to bathe, to swim, water has been integral to every society, at every point in our relatively short history here on earth. We connect, drink, and extend ourselves over water, a lifegiving force whose polarity explains much of human behavior. Fostering this sense of community is vital to our health and happiness as well.
A circular concrete ring forms a defined boundary, incorporating a landing and three steps that lead into a contained field of refined sand. At the center of this ring rises a tall cone clad in polished mirrored steel. The composition establishes a clear geometric contrast between the horizontal plane of sand and the vertical reflective surface.
As theschool's student newspaper The Sun Star reported, undergraduate student Graham Granger was arrested for criminal mischief after masticating at least 57 of the 160 images that had been carefully arranged by fine arts student Nick Dwyer. The incident was an eyebrow-raising illustration of the collective exhaustion with being surrounded by the outputs of generative AI, a fierce debate that has gripped the art world.
The Architect Elevator is a metaphor-in reality, the company leadership may be sitting on the same building floor as you; my car metaphors could fill an entire book; and " Architecture is Selling Options " has become the anchor of many architecture keynotes. So, at least my world of architecture is full of metaphors.

Accessible from three sides, the booth is shaped by approach and visibility rather than a single frontal orientation. The primary entry is marked by an angled portal set back from the site edge, establishing a layered visual field rather than an immediate overview. From this offset threshold, overlapping planes of tiles, textures, and color unfold gradually, encouraging movement through depth rather than direct access.
Tara Donovan presents Stratagems at the Institute of Contemporary Art San Francisco (ICA SF), at the Transamerica Pyramid Center, installing a group of vertically oriented sculptures made entirely from thousands of recycled CDs. On view until July 31st, 2026, the exhibition is installed within the transparent Annex space. Stratagems enters into a deliberate exchange with the Transamerica Pyramid itself. The sculptures echo the skyscraper's verticality and reflective skin, while their recycled material introduces a counterpoint to the monumentality of the building.
designed by the Institute for Doctoral Studies in the Visual Arts (IDSVA) and philosopher Giovanbattista Tusa (Visiting Faculty, Independent Study and Dissertation director) for curators, artists, researchers, and cultural practitioners seeking to engage with the living context of the Venice Biennale.
