My Architect is a heartbreaking yet humorous journey as Nathaniel travels the world in an attempt to reconnect with his deceased father. This riveting narrative goes from the men’s room in Penn Station where Kahn died bankrupt and alone, to the roiling streets of Bangladesh, the inner sanctums of Jerusalem politics and through unforgettable encounters with the world’s most celebrated architects. In a documentary with all the emotional impacts of a dramatic feature film, including an original orchestral score, Nathaniel’s journey becomes a universal investigation of identity and a celebration of art and life itself.

Good News from the Skies

Inspired by the exhibition And Now the Good News, which focusing on the relationship between mass media and art, we prepared horoscope readings based on the chapters of the exhibition. Using the popular astrological language inspired by the effects of the movements of celestial bodies on people, these readings with references to the works in the exhibition make fictional future predictions inspired by the horoscope columns that we read in the newspapers with the desire to receive good news about our day.
