Will Insley "ONECITY"
Westwood Gallery
This event has ended.
Westwood Gallery presents a solo exhibition of artwork by New York artist, Will Insley (born 1929). ONECITY, envisioned by Insley is a 675 mile square architectural labyrinth of mythology buried in the central North American plains. It is designed as an imaginary city to house 400 million people of the time, considered the entire population of the United States. During the era of ONECITY the outer rim of the country is inhabitable, possibly due to environmental devastation.
Westwood Gallery will exhibit 33 works of art by Insley. The drawings on exhibit represent architectural renderings of abstract buildings which surround ONECITY as vacant ruins to be abandoned after they are built. Insley created over 40 drawings of abstract buildings, originally shown in his exhibition at the Solomon Guggenheim Museum, NYC in 1984. The concept of ONECITY was contemplated for over 40 years by Insley, establishing not only an architectural layout consisting of over 14,000 outer city square buildings, each two and half miles wide, but an entire sociological order for the citizens of ONECITY.
