3/7 Wednesday Lecture

Peter Lang - Industrial Archaeology

New England has several very old factory buildings that have been converted into modern art museums.  One is made of shipping containers on an old abandoned pier that form a magnificent space inside.  
In Italy there are also several spaces that have been converted to meet modern day needs, some museums and some for public use.  For some reason, old factory spaces are very interesting for art fabrication and display because of the large, open spaces they offer and the genuine aesthetic of the building.
