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:
“One thing that makes art different from life is that in art things have a shape ... it allows us to fix our emotions on events at the moment they occur, it permits a union of heart and mind and tongue and tear.”
—Marilyn French (b. 1929)
“The return of the asymmetrical Saturday was one of those small events that were interior, local, almost civic and which, in tranquil lives and closed societies, create a sort of national bond and become the favorite theme of conversation, of jokes and of stories exaggerated with pleasure: it would have been a ready- made seed for a legendary cycle, had any of us leanings toward the epic.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“Just as a mirror may be used to reflect images, so ancient events may be used to understand the present.”
—Chinese proverb.
