On Friday, November 11, Columbia GSAPP is hosting Exhibition Models, a conference not on physical, architectural models, but on "new curatorial practices, scholarship, and institutional experiments that are redefining the agency of architecture exhibitions." Unfortunately this event coincides with MoMA's Complexity and Contradiction at 50 symposium, but I'll be out of town that weekend so, unlike you, I don't have to decide which one to attend. Details on Exhibition Models are below.

From the Columbia GSAPP website:
Exhibition Models examines new curatorial practices, scholarship, and institutional experiments that are redefining the agency of architecture exhibitions.

Presentations and panels offer case-studies and consider the format, role, and impact of exhibitions in different settings ranging from academic venues, alternative spaces, and well-established institutions to project-based architecture biennials and triennials.
ILLUMINATIONS
This panel considers the role of exhibitions in academic institutions as both pedagogical resource and platform for groundbreaking new research.
