NEW YORK.- As part of the ongoing Projects series, The Museum of Modern Art presents Projects 84: Josiah McElheny. McElheny (American, b. 1966) has created a room-sized sculptural model made of crystalline glass, colored electric lights, metal, Plexiglas, and painted wood. His installation, The Alpine Cathedral and the City-Crown (2007), is a materialization of and meditation on the writings and sketches of two glass architecture visionaries: Paul Scheerbart, a Berlin-based novelist and utopian fabulist, and Bruno Taut, the leader of a circle of revolutionary architects that emerged in Germany after World War I. On view through April 9, 2007, in a gallery adjacent to the Contemporary Galleries on the second floor, Projects 84 is organized by Joshua Siegel, Assistant Curator, Department of Film.
