more and more people confess their believe in CHANGE! and in the methods of CHANGE: embrace & create. we are happy to link to dear collegues that vote for change: x architekten not only build great and wonderful buildings for C-H-A-N-G-E, but also perform for C-H-A-N-G-E … here you see Agent Rainer performing in Vienna, just recently.
Unfortunately are there still some negating and repressing CHANGE. The AgencyofChange had to experience this today …
As we just got informed by our agents in Vienna - the video-message to you all at the opening of the YB:EXPORT exhibition has been held back by […] and therefore has not been played.
WE ALL AT THE AGENCYOFCHANGE ARE VERY SORRY FOR YOU, WHO WANTED TO HEAR THE MESSAGE, BUT ALSO SAD FOR THEM FEELING THE NEED FOR REPRESSING SUCH A WONDERFUL THING LIKE CHANGE.
we will make it up to you all and them who are and will bring the VIDEO MESSAGE online tomorrow.
&
THANKS FOR THE MASSIVE SUPPORT IN VIENNA. IT IS WONDERFUL TO HEAR THAT NEARLY 200 SUPPORTERS OF CHANGE WERE PRESENT …
make a cross in your calendar!
the agency of change will be hosted in a solo exhibition at the Austrian Society of Architecture. http://oegfa.at/
Here the invitation text (we will try to translate it as soon as possible!)
Die Agencyofchange ist eine radikal positive Gruppierung, die – über alle Grenzen hinweg – Architektureality predigt. So glauben die Anhänger und Anhängerinnen des internationalen Netzwerkes fest daran, dass man eben genau heute über Change sprechen und Change auch anwenden muss! Dass die Zeit gekommen ist, über die faszinierenden Methoden, die wunderbaren schicken Fähigkeiten oder auch über die herausragenden organisatorischen Begabungen, die sich im Bereich Architektur und Design entwickelt haben, zu sprechen. Die Agenten und Agentinnen meinen, dass heute ihre Zeit gekommen ist! Heute, so sind sie überzeugt, muss man guten Mutes sein! Die Zukunft ist hell und glänzend!
And again … the agency is touring around … this time the AgencyofChange.net is hosted by the Architekturzentrum Wien, in Vienna, Austria, where a small installation on CHANGE is being presented.
here the invitation card:
YB:EXPORT will travel around the globe! Vienna, Moscow, Paris, New York …
Today the participants for the YB:Export Global Exhibition were announced. The AgencyofChange is one of them. The Jurymembers where impressed about the developement over the last half year or so …
Here what the Jury would state (my own translation, original: German)
Facing current tendencies of misappropriation of architecture through capitalistic measure of values does the AGENCYOFCHANGE.NET formulate with its handbill-text and its Live Performances an impressive way for salvation of the architectonic practice through its radical expansion into other vocational fields and other disciplines.
The nearly hysterical affirmation of neoliberal arguments is understood as a cynicism with a productive potential.
TODAY WE ARE ALL VERY PROUD!
The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture dedicates a book with 256 pages to the Agents of Change … still, as the Nordic people are always a little bit suspiciouse, they are not yet fully convinced about change … that’s why the put a »?« at the end of the title.
We fully understand their concept of cosyness and consensus (they even have a word for it: hyggelig!), but still we have to stress the need for CHANGE!
Thanks to the editor of the book: Ken Rivad & the scientific commitee: Ken Rivad, Jens Kvorning, Henrik Oxvig, Katarine Lotz, Rikke Munch — we proudly announce you all new AGENTS OF CHANGE!
The AgencyofChange.net is part of the exhibition Youngblood at the Stadtmuseum in Graz.
