The City: Past, Present, Future
Our book displays continue in February with our first student-generated exhibit:
The past, the present, and the potential are all at play in this exhibition of books from Marquand’s collection. Highlighting the technological advances and forward thinking of the mid-twentieth century design revolution, the books in this installation represent some of the imagination and hope of those difficult years. The books in this installation put photographic perspectives of the city as modern, constructed Futurist works, and the mid-century’s dreams for the future into conversation to illustrate the tension between the conceptual and the constructed.
