Architect Francis Kéré’s design for a school in Gando, Burkina Faso, and artist Harun Farocki’s documentary film In Comparison (2009), are featured in the exhibition Small Scale, Big Change: New Architectures of Social Engagement (October 3, 2010-January 3, 2011). Both projects address traditions of brick production. In this evening’s program, Kéré and Farocki discuss the social issues surrounding the construction—with local materials and human labor—of Kéré’s school and a Burkina Faso-based clinic that Farocki filmed. Architect Toshiko Mori moderates the discussion. In conjunction with the exhibition Small Scale, Big Change: New Architectures of Social Engagement

Legendary Brazilian poet and founder of the Concrete poetry movement Augusto de Campos and his son, the musician Cid Campos, present a multimedia performance of text, music, and, image. Working within the expanded territory of poetry, Augusto de Campos uses sounds to activate associative thinking and explore the possibilities of language.
Revitalizing Frank O'Hara's legacy and MoMA's historical commitment to poetry, this series invites poets and performers to bring the literary tradition to the Museum's collection. They read historical works and their own work that reflects on modern and contemporary art.

Trisha Donnelly's photographs, drawings, and video, sound, and performance art challenge viewers to consider the meaning of signs, logic, and narrative. Through gestures, expressions, and the passage of time, she cryptically reveals imaginary languages and belief systems that alter viewers' perceptions of images and environments. Donnelly received a BFA from UCLA and an MFA from Yale University. Her work has been seen most recently in the 2003 Venice Biennale and the Carnegie International in 2004.
