MagicLand

MagicLand slide lectures hosted by Matthew Stadler

Matthew Stadler guest curated a collection of short slide lectures and videos about finding the sublime in the urban environment. Stadler discussed the darker side of nature that connects contemporary wild urban sites with the Romantic sublime.

Secret Portland to MagicLand

After the lecture people descended the fireman's pole to MagicLand. We built a magical world out of cardboard and stuffed animals that included skyscrapers, small houses, bubble machines, fountains, flying bunnies, strange foliage, and a mailbox.
