SPEED LIMITS
ON VIEW THROUGH FEBRUARY 20, 2011
Speed Limits presents more than 200 works from the collections of The Wolfsonian and the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA), Montréal. Critical rather than commemorative in spirit, the exhibition explores a single Futurist theme from the standpoint of its contemporary legacies and probes the powers and limits of the modern era’s cult of speed in five key domains: circulation and transit; construction and the built environment; efficiency; the measurement and representation of rapid motion; and the mind/body relationship.
