This major exhibition of international drawings by artists , designers, and architects brought together over 50 works from more than 20 artists. This idea of the exhibition was tied to the early stages of the Adams development.  Just a drawing can be seen as an initial expression of a larger idea or project, similarly we were at a stage with the Adams that was just an idea that was starting to take shape.

 

Working with Alicia Escamilla, we curated the exhibition based on the scale of the subject matter in the drawings. Suing the abstract scale as a link between the large scale and the small scale the exhibition presented a circular, continuous framework for viewing.  As part of the exhibit we designed and built the wall/bench exhibition design.  The custom elements allowed us to present the work in a more informal atmosphere where people could sit and discuss the work right where it was hanging.
