As Fields notes, “In calling for more Blackness, I, for one, am calling for more Black methodology. An inherent characteristic of [which] is a measurement of difference.”

The architecture of the exhibition becomes a process whereby each of us is split into a ‘spectator’ and an ‘audience’. This is a split into the ideal spectator of the exhibition-who is geometrically positioned as an ideal point in space and thus coincides with Cartesian cogito- and the audience, whose eye craves to watch, expressing a desire to observe.

Stickschriften von Musterbüchern aus drei Jahrhunderten. Ein einzigartiger Einblick in ein besonderes Kapitel der Schrift- wie der Sozialgeschichte. »In den Warteräumen weiblicher Lebensläufe des 19. Jahrhunderts ist das Handarbeiten die bevorzugte Stillbeschäftigung. Stickend und häkelnd verschönert die Frau die häusliche Sphäre, auf die sie für alle Zeiten abonniert ist. Sie beugt sich über ein Stück Stoff, oftmals nicht größer als ein Taschentuch, ihr Bewegungsradius und ihre Aufmerksamkeit sind reduziert auf das Zusammenspiel zwischen den Händen, die die Nadel führen und den Augen, die die fadendünnen Abstände messen und die Einstichstellen sondieren.«

San Rocco is interested in gathering together the widest possible variety of contributions. San Rocco believes that architecture is a collective knowledge, and that collective knowledge is the product of a multitude.

Cooperatives, sharing communities, co-housing – the collective is in high demand. At the end of the 1920s the Bauhaus took a keen interest in addressing questions surrounding the relationship between society and design, between individual and collaborative creation and production.
