Description
The exhibition examined a speculative meeting between an American architect and a French historian over a century after their overlap at the École des Beaux-Arts, exploring decoration and ornamentation in the built environment. Morcos Key's contribution covered the graphic identity, promotional material, and the gallery's opaque gray facade displaying an Arabic transliteration of "arabesque" in vinyl.
