The Wordless Music Series

“The wordless music series is devoted to the idea that the sound worlds of classical and contemporary instrumental music - in genres such as indie rock, free jazz, and electronic music - share more in common than conventional thinking might suggest.”

Matt Kanelos Solo Show

"Originally from Chicago, singer/songwriter and pianist, Matt Kanelos has recently emerged as an exciting new voice in New York City’s downtown music scene. With a vocal style calling to mind Paul Simon and James Taylor, a songwriting concept in the realm of Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen, and a touch at the keyboard reminiscent of Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett, Matt commands the stage with a disarming grace distinctly his own.”

Postopolis!

Postopolis! is a five-day event of near-continuous conversation about architecture, urbanism, landscape, and design. Four bloggers from four different cities will host a series of live discussions, interviews, slideshows, panels, talks, and other presentations, and fuse the informal energy and interdisciplinary approach of the architectural blogosphere with the immediacy of face-to-face interaction.

BLDGBLOG (Los Angeles), City of Sound (London), Inhabitat (New York City), and Subtopia (San Francisco) will meet in person to orchestrate the event, inviting everyone, from practicing architects, city planners, and urban theorists, to military historians, game developers, and materials scientists to share their opinions on both built and natural environments.

Over the past five years, blogging has helped to expand the reach of architectural discussion; its influence has spread far beyond the Internet to effect museums, institutions, and even higher education. Postopolis! is an historic opportunity to look back at what architecture blogs have achieved – both to celebrate their strengths and to think about their future.
