COLUMBUS, Ind. – The third Exhibit Columbus showcase will open to the public on August 21. The outdoor display will feature 13 site-responsive installations by a diversity of architects, artists, and designers, plus publicly displayed photography and fresh graphic identity. The exhibition will remain open through November 28.
The theme of Exhibit Columbus this year is New Middles: From Main Street to Megalopolis, What Is the Future of the Middle City? Curated by Iker Gil and Mimi Zeiger, New Middles explores the future of the center of the U.S. and the regions connected by the Mississippi Watershed, an area that stretches beyond political borders.
“Exhibit Columbus highlights the idea that art, architecture, and design have the power to inspire new narratives and celebrate community in public space,” says Anne Surak, Director of Exhibit Columbus. “For our third exhibition, New Middles is looking toward the future from Columbus. We’re pushing the boundaries of expression about what can be explored in our small American city.”
