Join flatbreadaffair for a panel discussion in conjunction with their current exhibition, Robert Moses, He Knows Us [a site-specific installation by Gabriela Salazar]. Titled after the New York City urban planner and drawing from the language of the D.O.T., Salazar’s site-specific installation explores signage and navigation at the intersection of the domestic and public space. Stripped of written language and free from the automotive, this presentation offers a platform to probe concepts of graphic memory, symbolic meaning and interstitial directives. 
The panel will explore the aesthetics and philosophy behind standardized signage and methods of way-finding when juxtaposed with the domestic space. After a presentation by the artist, panelists will engage in a moderated conversation.

Moderator:
Sara Reisman, Director, Percent for Art at New York City Department of Cultural Affairs

Panelists include:
Chris Calori, Principal, Calori & Vanden-Eynden Design
David Vanden-Eynden, Principal, Calori & Vanden-Eynden Design
Kevin Melchionne , Artist and writer, completing a dissertation in aesthetics
Jen Kaminsky , Urban planner and locative media artist
Aaron Naparstek, Founder and former editor, Streetsblog; Member Board of Directors, The Open Planning Project

Upon completion of the panel, guests are invited to continue the conversation and experience while enjoying wine and hors devours inspired by the exhibition.

There will be a visual presentation of the exhibition installed at flatbreadaffair.
RSVP suggested. Please RSVP to curator@flatbreadaffair.com.
