Marshall Brown, an Associate Professor at the Princeton University School of Architecture, has been producing a provocative series of post-war architecture collages since 2013.
They often feature combinations of architectural photography from monographs on significant figures in recent architectural history. Projects by Enric Miralles, Gregory Ain, Zaha Hadid and countless other familiar names are mashed together to produce new compositions, impossible to build at full scale but fully realizable through Brown's unique collaging technique.
The newest series, titled 'Je est un autre,' will be on view June 7th to July 27th at Western Exhibitions in Chicago, Illinois. The series is a nod to the collaging techniques popularized during the middle of the 20th century by architects including Mies van der Rohe and artists including Richard Hamilton. The collages also point to the adage that no masterpiece is truly done without the inspiration of peers and predecessors.
