Van Alen Exhibition UK Premiere: 'Renewing Rebuilding Remembering' 24 Jan - Mar 14 Lighthouse Glasgow "Curated by Van Alen Institute, New York, this exhibition illustrates the diverse responses to traumatic events that have had a dramatic impact on urban life. A selection of temporary, permanent public architecture projects and art projects are shown as examples of how citizens across the world have rebuilt, remade and rethought their urban life. The cities represented are: Beruit; Berlin; San Francisco; Kobe; Manchester; Oklahoma City; Sarajevo and New York. Rather than concentrating on attacks, damage or devastation the exhibition focuses on reconstruction success stories where vital urban places are integrated with specific monuments to tragedy, working together as a living memorial".

The exhibition will show the culmination of a three months detailed investigation into one aspect of the original thesis project. As one of the aims of the course is to clarify the intentions of the thesis, public exposure and discussion is imperative. Emerge will show a careful selection of works in the basement of Merchant Square in the heart of Glasgow. Entry to the space is through a covered courtyard of cafes and bars. During the exhibition there will be a public forum to discuss the work on show”.
