THE BUILDING SHOW
at EXIT ART 475 TENTH AVENUE NYC, 10018

February 17- March 31, 2007
Opening Saturday February 17, 7-10pm

Buildings have become iconic figures of cities and countries; these
architectural wonders are either loved or despised by their
neighbors, visitors and passersby. Oftentimes buildings have deeply
rooted historical significance, they form skylines that are embedded
into our vertical memory and hold infinite stories within their
walls. Other times buildings are surrounded by controversy,
neighborhoods are rezoned, gentrification causes displacement and old
buildings are torn down and quickly rebuilt for new uses. In homage
to these vertical symbols Exit Art presents The Building Show, an
exhibition featuring twenty-six conceptual, realistic, personal,
intimate and analytical artworks that are defined by artistsaE
