"Past Futures, Present, Futures" presents 101 unrealized proposals for New York City, dating from its formation to today with 101 reenactments by invited artists, architects, writers and policy-makers to create alternative visions for the present and future of the city. With the belief that art and architecture, beyond the production of new forms of capital or building solutions, have the power to re-imagine new forms of collective aspiration, the exhibition will present a past and future historiography of novel ideas in New York to open discussion about relevant actions in the city, their vectors of desire, methodologies, limits, audiences and agents. |

This project examined the role that radical planning proposals in the maturation of a city and how these historic proposals can be reimagined for the 21st century city. Initiated in 2012 by Storefront for Art and Architecture, New York, the exhibition Past Futures, Present, Futures assembled 101 architects, artists, theorists, and designers to respond to a series of radical proposals for New York City from the past 100 years. Each commissioned designer was asked to respond to a unique proposal, creating a new visual and text-based project. Our project was a response to the 1916 visionary plan for New York City by engineer T. Kennard Thomson. His project called for the damming and draining of the East River to create valuable new real estate for the rapidly growing New York Metropolitan Area. Our project re-imagined the proposal as a response to the outbreak of polio that terrorized the city in 1916. Storefront for Art and Architecture is the leading gallery for experimentation and research in spatial design. Past Futures, Present, Futures presented a past and future historiography of novel ideas to open discussion about relevant actions in the city, their vectors of desire, methodologies, limits, audiences and agents. Curated by Eva Franch, the exhibition included leading contributors to the field such as: BIG (Bjarke Ingels), Snohetta and Geoff Manaugh & John Becker. |
