Thursday, January 26, 2023
6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Designed
in
1966
by
architect
Saša
Mächtig,
Kiosk
K67
occupied
the
streets
and
changed
the
urban
landscape
of
the
Former
Yugoslavia.
7,500
of
these
mass-produced
modular
fiberglass
structures
were
built,
and
many
are
still
in
use
today
functioning
as
newspaper
stands,
coffee
shops,
flower
shops,
and
post
offices,
among
many
other
things.
For
the
next
three
months
a
Kiosk
K67
that
has
been
refurbished
by
architecture
professor
Dijana
Handanovic
will
occupy
the
School
of
Art
Courtyard.
Join
us
at
the
Blaffer
Art
Museum
for
the
unveiling
of
this
refurbished
Kiosk
K67,
the
opening
of
an
exhibit
about
the
kiosk,
and
a
performance
of
fixed-media
compositions
inspired
by
the
many
functions
of
the
K67
that
were
composed
by
music
composition
professor
Rob
Smith,
and
five
music
composition
students:
Eric
Estrada
Valadez,
Adam
Harrington,
Jaime
Morales,
Huy
Nguyen,
and
