THE BUILDING SHOW 

February 17- March 31, 2007 
Opening Saturday, February 17, 7-l0pm 

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 artists' personal relationships to existing structures.
