Airports Travel: The Art of the Terminal
Artist Charles Cohan is not a fan of airports. To him, they all basically look the same, and after checking out his installation, "Airfield," at Curator's Office in Washington, DC, you'll probably agree. His prints of terminals and runways will have you flashing back to that extended layover in Paris, that long taxi in Baltimore and that terrible meal at Newark.
Here's what Cohan himself has to say about the project:
Intended to form a graphic typology, the project visually references a range of image archetypes including utilitarian architectural forms, informational symbols, linguistic characters, directional signs and symbolic illustrations. Printed in black with a stark outline configuration, the designs reflect the demographics of security, surveillance and distribution within the architectural vocabulary of the plan diagram.
Riiiiight. They do look cool, though! The show is on view through April 5.
