Lead Pencil Studio Tonight @ Wieden+Kennedy

If a tree falls “building” is built in the forest on a bluff in the middle of nowhere and no one was there to hear see it, does it make a sound?

Answer: yes. Lead Pencil Studio’s “Maryhill Double,” a lo-fi replica of the Maryhill Art Museum which was installed somewhere along the Columbia Gorge from July to October 2006, continues to make an impact, it’s ghostly afterglow burned into the collective PDX art memory whether we made the trek to the Gorge or not.

Tonight, Wednesday, May 30, Disjecta presents “Spatial Inquiry,” a lecture on art and architecture by Annie Han and Daniel Mihalyo of Seattle-based Lead Pencil Studio at the Wieden + Kennedy Atrium ( 224 NW 13th Ave). Han and Mihalyo are set to discuss the “architectural aspiration of creating spaces for nothing.” (We’ve always appreciated the definition of art as the creation of the thing for which there is no use, and we love “nothing.”)

The duo recently showed at the Henry Art Gallery and currently have work at the Exploratorium in San Francisco and Lawrimore Project in Seattle.
