Grateful with Maike Statz for including an intrvw with our very own @cerreyes.bsky.social on her book 'Hosting Space'
It explores how processes of hosting, such as access, support, and gathering, operate within the context of an art institution—questions that resonate deeply with our own approach.

«Books to reinforce the importance of these threshold locations where private shades into public, and “I” becomes “we.”»
We curated a library for the U.S. Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale!
The books featured in "PORCH: A Library" examine the commitments of people to one another and the planet, exemplifying the porch as a shelter for democratic encounter.
