Culture Lab

"Culture Lab" was a multidisciplinary symposium series initiated and directed by Brian Boigon that ran from 1991 to 1994. Held in the back of a club in Toronto, each of the twelve iterations of the program prompted four guests from diverse fields of cultural production to engage with a theme anchored in the history and theory of the digital. The events used the codes of the entertainment and nightlife industries to break from the confined parochialism of academia in a way that marked the wider migration of culture amidst the digital turn. The exhibition provides new clues about the many forms and channels through which architectural discourses are shaped and circulated.
