M5 Ornament

Flipping through this month's Architectural Record, I noticed a blurb on an architecture exhibition called Ornament, being held at M5 from March 5-26. The magazine describes it as:
An exhibition of architects working with new materials and fabrication processes that push the boundaries of conventional wisdom. The show aims to examine and reveal the contemporary understanding of ornament in present architectural design, allowing for a new perspective on historical precedent.

Unfortunately M5's web page provides no further information, and a quick google search yields little to nothing, though SCI-ARC does have a press release (pdf) with details.

Participants include:
Hernan Diaz Alonso(Xefirotarch)
Ammar Eloueini (Digit-all Studio)
Doug Garofalo (GarofaloArchitects)
Mark Goulthorpe (dECOi)
Lisa Iwamoto/Craig Scott (Iwamoto Scott Architecture)
Anders Nereim/Paul Preissner (Qua‘Virarch)
Ali Rahim (Contemporary Architecture Practice)
Blair Satterfield/Marc Swackhamer (SLV)
Nader Tehrani/Monica Ponce de Leon (Office dA).

The exhibition is located at 216 W. Chicago, 2nd floor, is curated by Melissa Urcan, and sounds worth checking out.
