2010 Platform Gallery Exhibition: Snarled Megalopolis

This exhibition collects artists’ visualizations of vertiginously growing megacities and their impulsive structures and grids.  Featuring the work of fourteen individual artists from around the world, Snarled Megalopolis will explore a wide range of urban configurations — slum, favela, comuna, barrio de invación, taudis, shantytown.

This exhibition gathers art pieces based on unplanned urban growth of different megacities, showing how these spaces reflect and shape local political, cultural, and religious practices, and focusing on the common configuration of the urban grid.
