Progressland exhibition presents objects of exploration at New York's Chamber gallery
Prehistoric tools, sci-fi memorabilia and a chandelier designed to look like the International Space Station feature in a New York exhibition that explores man's progress through designed objects (+ slideshow).
Chamber gallery in Chelsea is hosting the second major part of its Collection #2 series, curated by filmmaker and photographer Andrew Zuckerman.
The Progressland exhibition takes its name from the 1964 World's Fair General Electric pavilion and exhibits a scale model of the design
Titled Progressland, this is the final instalment of his year-long collaboration with the gallery and its founder Juan Garcia Mosqueda, which opened last week.
Zuckerman's first exhibition focused on man's primitive relationship to nature, and this follow-up surveys how humans have altered that relationship through exploration, pioneering and innovation. "This [show] is about progress," he told Dezeen. "It's about how we pioneer, how we change the world around us ? especially in relation to nature ? and the ways that we do that."
Mimi Jung created a wooden tea house for the exhibition to represent an environment that stimulates ideas
The show takes its name from the futuristic General Electric pavilion created by Walt Disney for the 1964 World's Fair. A scale model of the domed structure is included in the exhibition.
