Curated by Claudine Isé

In his influential volume Non-Places: Introduction to an Anthropology of Supermodernity (1995), Marc Augé writes of those uncanny sites—supermarkets, airports, and freeways—that seem at once everywhere and nowhere. This peculiar vision of architecture is the focus of “ Vanishing Point.” Comprising sixty-six works from the past decade, the show reveals that the “non-place” is familiar stomping ground for art-world stalwarts and relative newcomers alike—among them Ed Ruscha, Dike Blair, Luisa Lambri, and e-Xplo, an artist collective that has created an installation based on the nocturnal landscape of the Wexner’s hometown. A catalogue with essays by Isé and Hal Foster should provide conceptual ballast to the ambient phenomena the show addresses.
