Metabolic City
An Exhibition at the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum September 18, 2009 to January 4, 2010 College of Art Gallery Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum Washington University in St. Louis Skinker & Forsyth Boulevards St. Louis, MO 63130 http://kemperartmuseum.wustl.edu/ Metabolic City explores visionary concepts by three internationally known groups of architects and artists: the British collective Archigram; the Dutch artist Constant Nieuwenhuys, an early member of the Situationist International; and the Japanese Metabolists, whose members include Fumihiko Maki, architect of the Kemper Art Museum. Active during the 1960s, all three groups viewed city infrastructure as the basis for social interaction and individual freedom, yet employed distinct and remarkably prescient approaches to developing urban ecologies. Included are original plans, drawings and other archival materials, as well as digital and analog case studies developed by Sam Fox School students in conjunction with visiting Archigram member Dennis Crompton. |
