On View> “Some Views of Triumphal Arches” by James Michael Tate

Los Angeles–based architect James Michael Tate will offer a “speculative investigation” of one of architecture’s most enduring forms at the University of Michigan’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, titled Some Views of Triumphal Arches.

Tate, who was the college’s 2014–2015 Willard A. Oberdick Fellow runs the architecture studio practice T8projects and recently co-organized the yearlong series On the Road in L.A. (Read AN’s review of On The Road here.)

For a year, Tate conducted a “daily ritual of collecting and drawing the principal façade of one triumphal arch: unbuilt, destroyed or standing somewhere in the world at some moment in time.” The resulting exhibition is a reflection on monumentality, and how the various objects relate to each other across time.
