Far + Near Exhibition, Henry Urbach Gallery, New York NY
This exhibition of Le Corbusier and Claude Parent’s drawings was designed to be viewed from all angles.
Our strategy for the exhibition was to hang Le Corbusier's drawings for Baghdad Stadium (unbuilt) from the gallery ceiling, allowing visitors to walk around the drawings. These section drawings are collaged blueprints and have selected cutouts, creating apertures through the drawings. The frames were designed as a subtle complement to the two sided collages.
The drawings were aligned using the cutout hallways as the constant reference. Visitors could stand in front of one drawing and see through the hallway cutouts of all the drawings as if looking down the actual hallway. A three dimensional space was created by the placement of the two dimensional drawings.
