Hunting Life; A Forever House
“The universe is made of stories not of atoms” -Muriel Rukeyser
We are pleased to present ‘Hunting Life; A Forever House’ an exhibition of drawings, stories, and structures by David Gersten. This work began in 1990 as David Gersten’s thesis in Architecture at the Cooper Union School of Architecture. The work continued over a ten-year period between 1990-2000. The continuous creative dialogue with Dean John Hejduk and the long-established creative community of the Cooper Union were central to the creation of this work…

THE 14 STATIONS OF THE CROSS
This film premiered and was initially commissioned as part of “SunShip; The Arc That Makes The Flood Possible,” Arts Letters & Numbers’ exhibition in the CityXVenice Italian Virtual Pavilion of the 17th Venice Architecture Biennale.
ANTIPOLIS
It is with great joy that we announce ANTIPOLIS an exhibition of works by Armand Biglari. This exhibition contains five bodies of work, each pursued during a period of intense concentration and exploration. Through his deep intellect, ethos of precision, and exploratory mind, Armand Biglari reveals spaces of the human condition, each mark, at once archaic and radically new, speak of our ineffable depth.
VISIONS OF CLOUDS
Swifts are fast flying birds who spend their lives in the air. In late summer evenings, towards dusk, they perform magnificent aerial dances in large flocks. The form of the dance is elusive.

A three dimensional choreography that is impossible to predict and hard to describe yet breathtakingly beautiful…
ANDAROONI*: private house of written words
“There is an ultimate space in my life where I engage in the meaning-making of my being. It is hard to reach this space very often. It demands seeking an internal path within one’s self in a moment of truth. It is either transpiring or not! If it does, it can vanish quickly…”
Sonic Trails
Sonic Trails is an immersive multimedia polyphony, layering sights, sounds, echoes and rhythms of a city in lockdown. Though seemingly devoid of people, this world is not without pulse. This immersive installation awakens an ambient social imaginary within the persistent sensorium of music and architecture.
SunShip: Thesis 2021 Exhibition
The Ark is the last architecture before The Flood and the first architecture after The Flood; a hinge between two worlds. What if the Ark is an Arc in Time—Arc as in a curve—slowing time, aligning it with Life Time? The Flood would not be a destructive event, but a place of and for life.
Écran Total | Artist and Curators Talk
Arts Letters & Numbers founding director David Gersten and Louise Pelletier, director of the UQAM Design Centre and Arts Letters & Numbers visiting artists, are pleased to collaborate in presenting this public panel discussion of the exhibition ÉCRAN TOTAL/TOTAL SCREEN.
BLOCKS ON BLOCKCHAIN
The exponential interest in the blockchain should radically transform the current system in all fields and how the people will interact with each others in the future. The purpose of this installation is to think architecture within the experimental conditions that blockchain currently offers.
