Architecture is a candid reflection of mankind’s self-image. The ways in which we redesign our immediate environs can be seen as a representation of how we wish to be viewed by others. We tear down and build up repeatedly, making improvements to feel better, safer, more secure; to belong or stand apart. While the individual artists in “Plan B” vary widely in media and approach, their work uncovers common fears and concerns. Faced with an increasingly chaotic outside world, they react by building walls, physical and psychic, to retain a measure of control. However, buried in this perpetual process of remodeling is a substratum of hope and a utopic determination to re-invent self and surroundings.
