WE-CO-LAB





Officially, WeCoLab was a design studio led by Matt Olson and made up of architecture students exploring collaboration. We studied deeply Black Mountain College + the practitioners it produced, as well as countless other thinkers, designers, and artists. More accurately, it feels safe to say it was an incredibly transformative experience for everyone. We engaged questions about the nature of work, about ownership of ideas, competition, and most importantly: love - something that we don’t seem to talk about in architecture or design.collaborators: Grey Bialon, Oliver Batzli, Jakob Mahla, Lee Jin Olson, Jocelyn Duggan, Cole Feriancek, Sam Rumbelow, Sasha Karleusa, Haley Schraufnagel, Kellen Renstrom
INSTALLATION AT WEISMAN ART MUSEUM

WeCoLab worked to support Daniel McCarthy Clifford, the artist-in-residence at the Weisman Art Museum. His exhibit dealt with questions of censorship, and education in the prison system, and our attitudes towards them. The gallery displayed all of the books accessible at the University of Minnesota, but banned from prison libraries. All are books that were requested by prisoners or sent to them by
loved ones.

We created benches and bookshelves, and designed the spatial organization of the gallery and lighting considerations for Clifford’s artist’s talk.
