In recent years, we, as humans, have exploited earth, depleting
its resources with blatant disregard for what this means for future
generations. At some point, when we have gone too far, we will try
desperately to regain a connection with nature, with this earth that we
call home.
Here, in this AfterTaste world, we imagine a future in which nature is
elevated, nature is levitated, nature is puppeteered in a dire attempt
to regain a connection with it.

Other Primary Structures revisits the premise of and
builds upon the Museum’s seminal 1966 exhibition
Primary Structures, the first American
museum exhibition to survey the

in art history while also reexamining the period
from today’s far more global perspective.

Two activity centers act as energy centers to disperse
and reconnect using lines inscribed into the architecture
to create perceptual imaginary planes. Composed of
strings, these planes direct the flow of circulation and guide
occupants to engage in different tasks and activities.
