Similarly, a number of contemporary artists make works resembling architectural models, both in terms of scale and concept, while other artists working with site-specific installation make literal models of projects subsequently built. This exhibition will explore the craft of the architectural model through three themes: built, unbuilt, unbuildable, from the book of the same title by Robert Harbison. Bruce Lindsey and Buzz Spector have selected the best works in all craft media from emerging and established artists and architects. Craft Alliance Center of Art + Design invited architects and artists nationwide with interest in showing their models, Marquette, sculptures, and drawings in the context of craft. About the Jurors Buzz Spector's art makes frequent use of the book, both as subject and object, exploring relationships between public history, individual memory, and perception.
