Layered translucent scrims upon which lighted images will be projected, computer collages, drawings and glass depicting images of ancient cities will be displayed in the "Memory/Anticipation: City for a New Millenium" exhibition at the Design Gallery.
Past images of the future by such artists as Ledoux and Sant'Ella as well as renderings by Hugh Ferriss will be among drawings to be displayed behind the fabric scrims in the exhibition. Other images will represent the necessity for ecological planning.
Joy Wulke explains that the use of translucency in the exhibition is to reflect on the illusiveness of time, the ease with which past, present and our anticipation of the future may be blended and the dangers and hopes in that illusion.
The exhibition is arranged so that parts of it are like a maze, allowing visitors passage though the scrim forms to an interior place where people may both peer out and be part of the forms as other viewers look in.
Wulke, an East Coast-based artist, has taught art and design nationally and internationally, including at the Glasgow School of Art in Scotland, Rhode Island School of Design and Montana State University. She has a bachelor's degree in art and architecture from Washington State University and a master's degree in environmental design from Yale University.
Gallery admission is free.
