SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Jia Yi Gu & Kate Yeh Chiu
DESCRIPTION:Material Feast \nMaterial Feast is an interdisciplinary dialogue featuring designers and practitioners interrogating the contemporary role of materials in design. Framed as a “feast\,” a term that gestures toward sensory abundance\, the event invites us to consider materials as processes rather than products. Designers Brittanie Dabney\, Catie Newell\, Meredith Miller\, Melanie McClintock\, and Ana Morcillo Pallarés will each give a brief presentation of their practice\, using provisional objects and material samples to probe the boundaries between art\, science\, design\, and craft. Alongside the presentations\, a material library will bring together samples drawn from automotive plastic waste streams\, quagga mussels from lake systems\, and waste glass\, as well as perforated textiles\, hydrogels\, and brittle sponges made from foraged “kin” species.\n\n\nOrganized by Material Acts\nMaterial Feast is organized by Material Acts (Kate Yeh Chiu\, Jia Yi Gu and Hilary Huckins-Weidner)\, a research platform exploring materials as cultural technique through public events centering an experimental library. The project attends to the logistical\, economic\, and technological actions that transform matter into the material substrate for our lives. Initiated in 2021 as part of  Getty PST ART\, the project has taken the form of a major exhibition at Craft Contemporary\,  an editorial project with e-flux Architecture\, and a publication of ideas\, conversations\, and material inquiries. Working through exhibitions\, programming\, and editorial projects\, Material Acts brings together theoretical and practical engagements with materials\, addressing how design and architecture are entangled with social and ecological concerns. www.materialacts.org\n\nContributors \n\nBrittanie Dabney\nBrittanie Dabney is the founder and CEO of Ecosphere Organics\, a Detroit-based company that converts food waste from local restaurants and suppliers into reusable materials.

She worked in the fashion industry for over two decades in the United States\, Qatar\, and Indonesia.\n\nAna Morcillo Pallarés\nAna Morcillo Pallarés is an architect\, designer\, and researcher and Associate Professor of Architecture at Taubman College\, teaching architectural design\, design research\, and spatial politics. She holds a PhD in architecture from Taubman and is developing research on the natural thermal properties of the biomatter of the quagga mussel as an opportunity for the fabrication of alternative by-products for the architectural residential industry.  She is principal of Rumor Studio\, formerly Morcillo Pallarés + Rule Arquitectos.
