Tailoring Form ..a brief look at the anonymous history of the template An Exhibit from the template collection of architect Natalie Fizer Forley, with Lecture. This exhibition situates the template within a broader category of what historian David Turnbull refers to as “representational technology.” A template can be a framework, a pattern, a form, a device, or a set of rules used to generate things or parts of things. The template typically acts as an intermediary, translating concept into physical form. Yet the notion of the template as a mediating device, in suggesting a more instrumental relationship to the object it produces, relegates the status of the template to a mere tool. As a result, the template has been under-scrutinized and has all but been omitted from the discourse of representation. Monday, 06 October thru Tuesday, 21 October 2008 |
