Graduate Public Critiques Design Show 2018

Metropolis covered Studio Gang’s installation Stone Stories, helmed by Jeanne Gang (HON 2013) for the upcoming Venice Architecture Biennale’s US Pavilion exhibition Dimensions of Citizenship. It will be installed in the William Adams Delano and Chester Holmes Aldrich’s neoclassical pavilion in the Giardini della Biennale. Gang's installation, which includes a video component by architectural filmographers Spirit of Space, delves into how “infrastructural seeds that grew into great metropolises were sown by slavery.” 

The US Pavilion's exhibition Dimensions of Citizenship was included in Domus' list of "5 pavilions not to be missed."
