The exhibition traces the emergence of architecture as a wellspring of creativity and theoretical exploration for the artist Arakawa (1936-2010) and poet and philosopher Madeline Gins (1941-2014, ‘62 Barnard). Presenting original drawings—many on view for the first time—as well as archival material and writings, it uncovers a little-known body of visionary architectural work from the 1980s.

Organized by GSAPP Exhibitions, Arakawa and Madeline Gins: Eternal Gradient is on view from March 30 through June 16, 2018.
