Dark Places
Exhibition Catalog
Santa Monica Museum of Art
Dark Places explored the subtle interconnections between memory and social space—and the possibility that traces of events are scripted into the fabric of our physical and psychological environment. Conceived and organized by guest curator Joshua Decter, and designed by the architectural collective Servo, the exhibition featured the work of seventy-five distinguished artists and architects from around the world.
Dark Places brought an alternative, experimental approach to the organization and installation of a group exhibition. It was conceived to reanimate relationships among art, architecture, media, and technological design, and to generate a new kind of immersive environment—the hallucination of a futuristic noir scenario inside the frame of the museum.
