Knoxville: Building Communities 2006
.....
The Art Gallery of Knoxville invited CUP to explore the urbanism of its hometown, Knoxville, Tennessee. CUP's resulting installation drew upon various plans to re-energize Knoxville, and included a sculpture sharing Knoxville’s odd shape, the result of annexing many smaller municipalities to raise tax revenues. Wall text and photographs documented these development plans with archival material from the city library and the Beck Cultural Exchange Center, a group dedicated to preserving African American history in Knoxville.
