"Highways Connect and Divide" Exhibition
Foxy Production
This event has ended.
As the highway rapidly connected people in new ways, it became a metaphor for modernity, progress and enlightenment. Less acknowledged was the highway’s negative impacts; it divided people from their downtowns, riversides, amenities, and one other. Highways Connect and Divide considers how artists – including Cory Arcangel, Tauba Auerbach, Bureau of Inverse Technology, I/O/D, JODI, Nam June Paik, Sterling Ruby, and Kerry Tribe – map the systems that impact upon us. Embracing errors and the irrational or redeploying technology, some artists directly abstract from cityscapes, some employ planetary metaphors, while others use abstract forms to figure how systems succeed and fail.
