KAREN BAUSMAN: PAPER ASSETS:
THINKING SCULPTURALLY, DRAWING LOCALLY

DRAWING AND ARCHITECTURE
City College of New York School of Architecture, Urban Design
and Landscape Architecture

Karen Bausman will discuss her preparatory works, including drawings, assemblages and maquettes for The Wall Project, an ambitious sculptural installation to be mounted in Summer 2011. The Wall Project re-envisions Lower Manhattan prior to the work of the 1811 Planning Commission and will invite viewers to experience walking navigation as an organic, creative process.  
 
Noted critic Michael Sorkin has commented that “the art and architecture of Karen Bausman combines form and meaning in meticulous and original service to knowledge and the beautiful. Her Wall Project will be an extraordinary gift to the city and its memory.”
