Immediate Thought

Curated by Mario Trejo


MoPA invited artists and architects to submit sketches, ideas or reactions to the fictional International Museum of Arts. The proposed space houses the world’s largest collection of art, from antiquities to contemporary work in an urban space, housed in over 4 square miles of footage. The initial idea for the show was inspired by Frank Gehry’s quick sketches of his plans for future designs on napkins. The show hopes to explore the simple elegance and communicative power that a sketch can convey.
