Event: Benign Neglect Exploring the Urban Landscape
When:JULY 18, 09 | 6:30 - 10:00 pm
Info: Five years ago, the SSCA presented an exhibition called 'The Next American City', a showcase for architects and urban planners with an interest in land use, affordable housing, and alternative modes of transportation. But that was before Hurricane Katrina and the I35-W bridge collapse. That was before the nationwide housing crisis. Before the governor's 'unallotment' and cuts to Local Government Aid. Today, the future of American cities look a lot less promising, as cities struggle to get by in an era of declining revenues and decaying infrastructure. 'Benign Neglect' presents a snapshot of the urban environment as it currently exists, a refracted image of the utopian visions of 'The Next American City'.
Artists Mark Murrmann, Matthew J. Olson, Chris Faust, Jennifer Kotting, David Holmes, Eric Bendickson, Abigail Slawik and Julia Wilkins
Info: The Twin Cities has a rich history in music and the arts, a history that continues to expand each year.
