Mark Markeiwicz On Drawing Architecture : A Travel Memoir

Thursday, May, 5, 2022 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm

Free

The Gores Pavilion is reopening for the season on May 5 with an exhibition by Mark Markiewicz, architect, artist, and former President of the NCM&HS Board of Governors. Based on his own travels, the collection of drawings forms a graphic travelog with a focus on architectural history. The show includes images from his native Poland, the Middle East, and Western Europe, as well as Princeton University, where he was educated, and New Canaan, where he has been a resident for decades. The drawings are samples from an ongoing project Mark started about 15 years ago during a trip to Italy. The early sketches were done in situ but for practical reasons soon developed into using photos and slides from his extensive collection going back to the 60s. This exhibit will be on display until October 22, 2022 at the Gores Pavilion at Irwin Park, 848 Weed Street, New Canaan. Please contact info@nchistory.org to arrange access.
