This week a major cultural initiative will be launched, The Festival of Ideas for the New City, coordinated by the New Museum and scores of cultural and community organizations and institutions in downtown New York, including the Swiss Institute, Columbia University, NYU, Cooper Union, the PARC Foundation, the Architectural League, and many more. A conference of symposia, lectures and workshops will take place between May 4th through May 7th, with three major themes being explored: "The Networked City," "The Reconfigured City," and "The Sustainable City." Influential speakers will lead the discussions, from keynote speaker Rem Koolhaas (who also has a show opening this weekend at the New Museum, "Cronocaos," May 7-June 5), visual and performance artist Vito Acconci, artist and musician David Byrne, Studio 360's Kurt Andersen, founding partner of Diller Scofidio + Renfro Elizabeth Hiller, and many others.
