This is Tomorrow
1939 World’s Fair “World of Tomorrow”
Patio and Pavilion 1956 by Smithson, Paolozzi, Henderson
Pavilions had two meanings, One, historically they were built for pleasure and good views, similar to a gazebo. Two, in the 1939 World’s Fair, aimed towards the future, a visitor would view exhibits in various Pavilions.
Smithson, Paolozzi, and Hendersons work was a shanty meant to describe daily life in the middle of the depression, instead of the pomp and circumstance of the New York Worlds Fair and it’s corporate sponsorship. Sort of mocking the propagandistic morale booster of advertisers efforts.
