SO-IL OPENS SEPT. 9 @ 193

SO-IL (Solid Objectives – Idenburg Liu): FUTURE ARCHEOLOGY
September 9, 2010 – October 2, 2010
OPENING RECEPTION: 9 SEPTEMBER 2010, 6 – 9 PM

SO-IL (Solid Objectives – Idenburg Liu) bills itself as a “small office with a global reach.” Sound familiar? SO-IL was founded in 2007 as a “creative catalyst” designed to aid in any and all stages of the architectural process and “vehemently believes in realizing their ideas in the world.” Enterprises like SO-IL are not think tanks or conceptual incubators, but action-oriented businesses focused on the physical realization of their ideas across the globe.

Florian Idenburg and Jing Liu, the founders of SO-IL, will be traveling periodically to Lexington this fall to run the Brown Forman Urban Design Studio. Institute 193 is collaborating with the UK College of Design to present an exhibition that will introduce the architects and their work to the Lexington community, providing an opportunity for interaction and discussion outside of the traditional classroom setting. SO-IL’s structure and ambitious project schedule represent a model that we find particularly compelling. SO-IL is living proof that a small space can have a global reach.

Special thanks to Art Without Walls for their support.

‘Foals of Hope’ with UK Arts in Healthcare

FOALS OF HOPE: UK Arts in Healthcare
July 8, 2010 – July 15, 2010
Opening Reception: July 8 | 6 – 9 PM

Institute 193 and UK Arts in Healthcare are pleased to present Foals of Hope, a collaborative exhibition featuring horses designed by Latitude Artist Community, Kreative Catz and the UK Art Education Department. LexArts and Horsemania 2010 graciously donated three reclining foals to benefit the Kentucky Children’s Hospital. The foals were given to various groups in Lexington who have used them to express their vision of hope for the future. The foals will be auctioned at Horsemania 2010 with all proceeds benefitting the UK Children’s Hospital. The foals will be on display at Institute 193 from July 8 – 15. For more information about UK Arts in Healthcare, please see: www.ukhealthcare.uky.edu.

Latitude Artist Community is geared towards helping people with disabilities. The community uses art to give people living with disabilities a means of expression and direction that raises their quality of life.

Kreative Catz is a volunteer group of UK fine art students who work directly with Kentucky Children’s Hospital patients on creative projects as part of the Child Life Program.

We are posting pictures of the foals “in progress” on our blog. Call it a sneak peek.
