Republic Worldwide is excited to be working in collaboration with Fourth Arts Block and The Drawing Center who have commissioned artist Terry Smith to create Capital Revisited, a series of wall and window drawings of an architectural capital, referencing Capital, a large-scale drawing Smith created at the British Museum in 1995. Presented as part of IDEAS CITY 2013, the New Museum’s biennial festival created to explore the concept of an untapped capital, Capital Revisited will be found in sections around the Bowery neighborhood on unexpected indoor and outdoor surfaces. In this context, Smith’s project will be a poignant and mischievous investigation of the use and visibility of architecture in public space.
