MODERN BILLINGS

Assistant Curators of Education at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Jesse Morgan Barnett and Tiffany Wolf Smith curated Nathalie Alfonso to design a billboard on the periphery of downtown Fort Worth, along Jacksboro Highway and the Lancaster corridor. Taking place in an open, outdoor space, Alfonso attempted to reveal what was below the surface of the billboard's structure, suggesting an imagined armature, with a large-scale, digital drawing. While this drawing was fabricated, it forced the viewer to consider the pre-existing foundation of the surface and the landscape at hand.
