Landscape Futures Instruments,Devices and Architectural InventionsThrough February 12, 2012

This ambitious exhibition explores how landscapes, and our

perceptions of them, can be transformed by technology,

architecture and design. Boasting an extraordinary mix of new

commissions and preexisting work — including a room-sized

kinetic mechanism, speculative prototypes, large-scale prints,

and portable devices — the exhibition features work by Mark

Smout & Laura Allen (Smout Allen), David Benjamin & Soo-in

Yang (The Living), David Gissen, Mason White & Lola

Sheppard (Lateral O�ce & InfraNet Lab), Chris Woebken

& Kenichi Okada, and Liam Young. bit.ly/landscapefutures

This exhibition is guest curated by Geo� Manaugh. Sponsored by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Arts.
