2011 Chip Lord: Public SpacesDescription
The exhibition Public Spaces is a survey of photographic and video projects including (in the main gallery) Movie Map, 2003, Awakening from the 20th Century, 1994, and In Transit, 2010. Also included is a projection room with several Ant Farm projects and other videos shown on demand.
Chip Lord has dedicated much of his art practice of the last 20 years to the changing landscape of urban and public space. Lord was inspired by Michael Sorkin's book "Variations on a Theme Park: The New American City and the End of Public Space,” a collection of essays offering critical views of the monotony that invades our public architecture and public spaces.
