Bryan Cantley, the force behind the self-described “post-architecture” firm Form:uLA, opens a new season at SCI-Arc's on-campus gallery with a three-part installation, “Dirty Geometries + Mechanical Imperfections,” which delightfully bites the hand that feeds it. His show gleefully articulates his firm's conceptualist practice with a series of offerings for wall and floor that expose the flaws inherent in the architectural design process. In transforming, transcending and reinterpreting the exhibition space, Cantley makes a case for honoring the analog and imperfect, even in the kind of space-age digital environment that SCI-Arc itself famously promulgates. With drawings both intimate and large-scale/site-specific serving as the backdrop for the related objects, Cantley subverts the normal function of architectural renderings, transforming them into a visual environment that has little in common with the discipline's clean lines and conventional mathematics.
