Events
Through a constant programming of events, Storefront provides a forum for discussion of contemporary issues through book discussions, film screenings or performances. As a platform to expose innovative ideas in relation to established discourses, Storefront operates as a space of encounter between institutionalized realms of practice and emerging voices through new formats of exchange and debate.
Examples of artists and architects that have participated in Storefront events, include Enrique Walker, Kersten Geers & David Van Severen, Sho Shigematsu OMA, Bernard Tschumi, Peter Cook, Anthony Vidler, Mark Wigley, Chris Leong & Dominic Leong, Felicity Scott, David Benjamin, Lindsay Bremner, Raumlabor, Prem Krishnamurthy, Juergen Mayer, Jimenez Lai, Spyros Papapetros, Mitchell Joachim or Saskia Sassen.

Famous quotes containing the word events:
“Custom, then, is the great guide of human life. It is that principle alone, which renders our experience useful to us, and makes us expect, for the future, a similar train of events with those which have appeared in the past.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“This is certainly not the place for a discourse about what festivals are for. Discussions on this theme were plentiful during that phase of preparation and on the whole were fruitless. My experience is that discussion is fruitless. What sets forth and demonstrates is the sight of events in action, is living through these events and understanding them.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
“A curious thing about atrocity stories is that they mirror, instead of the events they purport to describe, the extent of the hatred of the people that tell them.
Still, you can’t listen unmoved to tales of misery and murder.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
