The publication Material Acts: Experimentation in Architecture and Design accompanies and shares a name with the exhibition, off ering a companion space that delves into the research shown in the galleries. The publication is organized around the same five thematic material acts of the exhibition: Animating, Disassembling, Feeding, Re-fusing, and Stitching. Content formats include commissioned essays, photography, how-to-guides, and conversations.
A limited number of special-edition catalog publications will include an exclusive box of material samples. This unique addition allows readers to physically experience some of the experimental materials featured in the exhibition, o ering a tangible connection to the work and deepening their understanding of contemporary material practices.
