Prelude to a Nightmare

International tour, Williams College Museum, Williamstown, MA

CULTURE & HISTORY This exhibition investigated the cultural conditions in Vienna during the time of the rise of the Third Reich. A major theme of the exhibit explored how great evil can arise within a seemingly civilized society. Over-scaled crimson velvet banners dwarfed the visitor along the exhibit’s main axis, evoking simultaneouly the theatricality and dehumanizing qualities of Hitler’s cultural landscape.
