Exhibitions-old and new
ABOUT- Metabolic City held in Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum at Washington University in St. Louis is an exhibition surveying work by the British collective Archigram; the Japanese Metabolists (whose members includeFumihiko Maki, architect of the Kemper Art Museum); and the Dutch painter Constant Nieuwenhuys, an early member of the Situationist International. Curated and designed by Heather Woofter, assistant professor of architecture in the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts, Metabolic City features approximately 70 drawings, plans, models and conceptual projects, including rarely seen materials drawn from private archives and a sampling of work by influential predecessors.
Joint project with Bryn E Wears and Monling Lee.
