The exhibition “THE MATERIAL SHOW” focuses on the materials that support, shape, and structure our built environment: concrete, stone, wood, metal, and glass. Twelve national and international artists turn their attention to the fundamental materials of architecture and the continuous cycle of construction and destruction, of usefulness and decay.
