"Duck and Decorated Shed" Exhibition
NURTUREart
This event has ended.
Learning from Las Vegas, where the dominant architecture is always of glitter, whether the shapes are obvious symbols of the delights awaiting within (a waterfowl restaurant in the shape of an enormous duck) or contain a deeper meaning through the intricate display of ornament (essentially a decorated shed). Cercone extracts the idea for this exhibition from the terms “Duck” and “Decorated Shed” which derive from two analytical catagories for viewing Las Vegas Strip, developed by a group of architecture students in 1968. Which is the vulgar embodiment of heightened symbolism, and which is the seductive decoy? Cercone asks the viewer to differentiate between the functionally integral and the ornamental facade.
