Video: ”The Aesthetics of the Contract and the Contract of Aesthetics”
Daniel McClean, a curator/lawyer, discusses legal contracts from two perspectives: how Post-Conceptual artists use the medium of the contract to create artworks, and how lawyers create contracts and the role that aesthetics might play in their construction and interpretation. The Association of the Bar of the City of New York is housed in an elegant historic landmark seated on “Clubhouse Row.”

Video: ”Rethinking America’s Drug Policy”
John Donohue III, Leighton Homer Surbeck Professor of Law, Yale Law School and an economist/lawyer, takes up a vexing yet pragmatic question: are the gains reaped by decriminalizing illicit drug laws worth the cost of potentially increasing drug addiction at-large? This lecture took place in the New York City Council Chambers at City Hall, a room in which they have considered various legislations, including drug regulations.

Video: The Shining Mantis at LMCC: Timelapse
The Shining Mantis, a Brooklyn-based artist pair, consists of former Workspace residents Ernest Concepción and Mike Estabrook. Last Thursday, we invited them to our office to create a work that became Pandarok: The Birth of Kangis Khan, a 10 foot by 7 foot chalk drawing on a wall adjacent to our conference room. They arrived at 11AM and worked until about 7:30PM, during which we snapped a picture every 30 seconds.
Here's the creation of Pandarok: The Birth of Kangis Khan in 34 seconds.

Video: LentSpace Timelapse
LMCC LentSpace is a free outdoor cultural space open to the public, made possible by the loan of a Trinity Real Estate development site. A model for citywide land use, this temporary project creates an “in the meantime” activity for a vacant site awaiting future development.
LMCC LentSpace occupies a city block bounded by Canal, Varick, Grand, and Sullivan Streets in Lower Manhattan.
During construction, we snapped a photo every 30 seconds from 10 stories up. After hours of editing, this is the end result.
