CCA's 'Find and Tell'

According to the CCA, the Find and Tell program "promotes new readings that highlight the intellectual relevance of particular aspects" of the museum's collection, which consists of "drawings, books, textual documents, models, photographs, and archives of full works or projects." These new readings are generated by the "series of residencies in which invited experts are asked to put forward arguments about [CCA's] holdings by making a significant selection and interpretation of material within an archive or the photography collection." A number of short videos (from four to eight minutes in length) are one outcome of those residencies.

Earlier this month, the CCA uploaded two more videos in the Find and Tell series (the list of the six earlier videos is at bottom). One features Kim Förster, an architectural historian whose 2011 dissertation was titled "The Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies, New York (1967-1985). Networks of Cultural Production," appropriately digging into the CCA's archive of the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies (IAUS):

The second video features Albert Ferré, currently Associate Director, Publications at the CCA (he was editorial director at Actar Publishers before that), speaking about Foreign Office Architects, the firm of Farshid Moussavi and Alejandro Zaera-Polo:

Earlier videos in the Find and Tell series include:

• Michael Meredith on John Hejduk
• Peter Testa on Álvaro Siza
