The City and the Grid

An FSP@PPG Lunchtime Conversation

Join us for a lunchtime discussion inspired by the exhibition, Reflections Within the Transitioning Grid: Merging Structure, Form and Design with Technology by Merrill Shatzman and libi rose, on view at the Power Plant Gallery from September 15 to November 22, 2017. Urban planner and architect Tony Sease, artist Jina Valentine, and geographer/cartographer Tim Stallmann will join Merrill Shatzman to explore how urban geography and psychology combine to create spaces that shape our movement, our thinking, our relationships, and the possibilities for justice.

Free and open to the public. A light lunch will be provided. Co-sponsored by the Forum for Scholars and Publics and the Power Plant Gallery. The Power Plant Gallery is an initiative of the Center for Documentary Studies and the Master of Fine Arts in Experimental and Documentary Arts at Duke University.
