Architect Cedric Price and I collaborated on the idea of a portable museum...a picture frame, about two by three inches, which became the museum's structure...a minuscule museum on the move...
The Teeny Tiny Traveling Exhibition
2018 | 2020
Twelve architects, each in
turn, are asked to create a sketch. The
subject matter is broadly defined; it could be the individual architect’s
favorite historic building, or a favorite building of their own design, or an
unrealized project they have a concept for but is unbuilt, or a detail of a
project. The requirements of the sketch are
dimensional: a format of two (2) inches by three (3) inches with a horizontal
orientation. Once created, the sketch will be placed in a small frame,
and travel in the coat pocket of LJHS Executive Director Heath Fox. It will be
shown at small group meetings in locations
occasioned by the Director's work schedule. Each architect's sketch will travel in this way and
be shown for a period of two months, after which it will transition online to this webpage. After the two year traveling period needed to
accommodate the twelve sketches, the original sketches will become part of the
LJHS archival collection, and the digital exhibition will reside online,
creating a record of architectural gestures at the end of the 21st
century’s second decade. Curated by Heath Fox.
