Labowitz Theatre for the Performing Arts | 1 Washington Place In this two-part lecture, "Forensic Architecture," Eyal Weizman will discuss the work of the research agency of the same name that he established in 2011. Forensic Architecture - Part One: The Image Complex, will be delivered at NYU Gallatin, while Forensic Architecture - Part Two: The Conflict Shoreline will be delivered at NYU's Department of Social and Cultural Analysis on September 24. Drawing on the insight and expertise of architects, historians, theorists, filmmakers, and artists, the research agency Forensic Architecture undertakes spatial research in and of conflict zones and mobilizes this research in different forums, both political and legal. While forensics is a tool that states and governments use to monitor their citizens or subjects, the practice of "forensic architecture" is used in a civilian context in order to reorient the practice of contemporary forensics and invert or "return" its gaze. It uses multidisciplinary methods and aesthetic practices to monitor the states and challenge their authority, especially when they engage in war. Weizman will discuss the problem that political counter-forensics has in making connections across scales: from the individual incidents through patterns of urban violence to large and slow environmental transformations.
