The Library is Open 16 invites Kate Yeh Chiu and Jia Yi Gu, curators and editors of Material Acts to discuss their most recent publication and exhibition, Material Acts: Experimentation in Architecture and Design (Craft Contemporary, 2024).

Material Acts: Experimentation in Architecture and Design accompanies and shares a name with the exhibition at Craft Contemporary in Los Angeles in 2024, offering a companion space that delves into the research shown in the galleries. The publication is organized around the same five thematic material acts of the exhibition: Animating, Disassembling, Feeding, Re-fusing, and Stitching. Content formats include commissioned essays, photography, how-to-guides, and conversations featuring the exhibition’s scope.
