The exhibition comprises a new, site-specific installation and a suite of four large-scale works on paper which continue Tegeder’s exploration of architecture and abstraction. The included works form a cosmology of sorts, a conceptual map to which their long, elaborate titles serve as an oblique legend.
Tegeder’s works on paper build on modernist legacies of abstract art, architectural draftsmanship, and city planning. In these drawings, rendered in a pared-down palette of neutral tones (black and white, grey and beige), Tegeder envisions systems inspired, both formally and in conceptual approach, by the utopian impulse of the Constructivists. She employs archaic architectural tools and methods–including techniques gleaned from her upbringing in a family of steamfitters–to conceptualize a form of urban planning only fully realizable, perhaps, in the imagination. Yet despite their architectural precision, the works on paper are hand-drafted, without the slick impenetrability of technologically rendered plans. The evidence of the artist’s hand, with its occasionally visible hesitations, transforms Tegeder’s schematic drawings into what she calls “humanized machines,” in which existing forms coincide with possible futures.

To increase nighttime firing accuracy the other is open to ambient air and radiation is used to induce mutations.
