Millan, Brandon Pietras Project Manager \\ Beau Johnson Other Primary Structures revisits the premise of and builds upon the Museum’s seminal 1966 exhibition Primary Structures, the first American museum exhibition to survey the style now known as Minimalism.

The exhibition revisits this formative moment in art history while also reexamining the period from today’s far more global perspective.

A F T E R TA S T E 2 0 1 5 R E C E P T I O N Event Design \\ MFA Interior Design All-Student Collaboration Led by Helen Quinn Lighting Design Partners \\ Kiersten Hill & Odile Liu In recent years, we, as humans, have exploited earth, depleting its resources with blatant disregard for what this means for future generations. At some point, when we have gone too far, we will try desperately to regain a connection with nature, with this earth that we call home.

Here, in this AfterTaste world, we imagine a future in which nature is elevated, nature is levitated, nature is puppeteered in a dire attempt to regain a connection with it.
