Double or Nothing 51N4E AA GalleryDouble or Nothing presents the architectural and spatial projects of Brussels-based 51N4E. Curated by French architectural critic Dominique Boudet, the show re-examines a selection of recent projects from the large-scale Skanderberg Square, the most important public space in Tirana, larger than Red Square in Moscow and twice the size of St Peter’s Square in Rome, to the intimacy of Arteconomy, an extension of high steel walls encompassing a Belgian farmhouse and featuring a 3 x 3-metre day bed composed of colourful knitted woollen tubes. Double or Nothing aims to challenge the visitor to look beyond architecture’s surface conventions and their represen-tation. The accompanying publication Double or Nothing, designed and published by the AA, will be available to purchase.

Visions of the Future AA School Honours StudentsFront Members’ RoomFour AA School students graduating this year join luminaries such as Peter Ahrends and Sir Nicholas Grimshaw in receiving full Honours for their studies at the AA School. This accolade is the highest award the School can bestow on a student, recognising prestigious excellence and talent. The exhibition enables visitors to explore the Honours work across issues as diverse as the legacy of gold mining within Aboriginal homelands, solutions to Haiti’s cholera epidemic, floating desert city tourist destinations and managing Europe’s population.

Tracer FireJoel NewmanBack Members’ RoomInspired by the phosphorescent trail of tracer bullets in the night sky Tracer Fire explores the juxtaposition between the beauty and violence of ballistic weapons – their mesmerising, burning trail belying their destructiveness upon impact, and the highly wrought nature of their machinery at odds with the havoc they wreak. An installation piece projected simultaneously on to the surfaces of a darkened room, the experience is one of being caught in crossfire or at a fireworks display. The immersive work also exploits

the concept of persistence of vision, as our eyes fill up with afterimages, adding another dimension to the piece. A year in the making, the video uses motion graphics, with each frame of the animation hand-drawn on a tablet using a digital pen. Each minute of the 20-minute film equates to around 1,500 individual frames, with the whole requiring around 30,000 hand-drawn images. Joel Newman’s previous work has been shown at the ICA and Whitechapel Art Gallery. He has taught video at the AA School since 1998.
