The first exhibition in 15 years by the artist couple who accept no commissions, choosing instead to sell drawings and raise funding themselves to realize the monumental projects they envisage. This exhibition presents documentation of their creative endeavors including two works in progress: Over The River, project for Arkansas River, the State of Colorado, a river of fabric hovering over vast spans of the Arkansas River and The Mastaba, project for the United Arab Emirates, a massive quadrangular pyramid constructed with oil barrels. The six film documentary screenings, among them records of projects 20 years in the making, are a must-see.
