The Generic Sublime

The Generic Sublime investigates how the modern concept of the generic - once assumed to achieve universality by means of organizational homogeneity, formal neutrality, programmatic blankness, lack of identity, and insipidness of character - holds the potential to become its very opposite: the singular, the irreducible, and the extraordinary. Ciro Najle examines the organizational protocols of building collectives and develops architectural models for encompassing the unprecedented potential of the extra-extra-large.
