DESCRIPTION:Landscapes comprised of thickets\, stockpiles\, and industrial 
 ruins structure the urban matrices of Columbus\, Ohio. The Monuments of Col
 umbus are investigations\, interpretations\, and figurations of these obscu
 re sites that comprise the fringes and fallow grounds of the city. Work exh
 ibited in The Monuments of Columbus is both a tribute to and reinterpretati
 on of Robert Smithson's 1967 essay A Tour of the Monuments of Passaic\, New
  Jersey. His essay is both a tour and a curatorial endeavor that asks us to
  look closer at the in-between\, infrastructural landscapes that support an
 d define our cities and towns. Matthew Coolidge and the Center for Land Use
  Interpretation (CLUI)\, contemporary landscape curators operating out of C
 ulver City\, California\, Troy New York and Wendover Utah\, are expanding S
 mithson's line of inquiry into a series of nationwide exhibitions\, tours\,
  and publications to inform the public about the "nature and extent of huma
 n interaction with the earth's surface." The Monuments of Columbus begins w
 ith Smithson and CLUI\, and digs deeply into the landscape zeitgeist of cen
 tral Ohio. Work in the exhibition\, produced by the community of students\,
  faculty and collaborators of the Landscape Architecture Section of the Kno
 wlton School of Architecture at The Ohio State University\, includes invent
 ories\, mappings\, experimental geographies\, sonic tours\, and imagined an
 d projected futures for the landscape of Columbus. This is the city-now: th
 e ruins\, remnants and piles\, the sites unstewarded and open to interpreta
 tion and exploration. The exhibition offers residents and visitors opportun
 ities to position themselves in an alternative Columbus\, as real as the on
 e we inhabit daily. It is an invitation to transgress our ordinary spatial 
 boundaries\, to discover\,
\ninhabit\, and imagine a city more wild\, robus
 t and full of possibility.
