- The Laramie Project
friday, nov. 15
The Laramie Project
On a cold Wyoming evening in 1998, a young man is found beaten, tortured, tied to a fence and left to die. Confronted with this horrific act of hate, the all-American town of Laramie is forced to ask the question: how could this happen here? The Laramie Project is an arresting account of people just like us coming to terms with a horrendous crime right in the middle of their community. The moving words of the people of Laramie bring into sharp focus how this true story of Matthew Shepard became a watershed moment, a turning point in our American culture. It is an unsettling, poignant journey from hate and shock into hope.

Urban Entropy is an ornate record of work made during Enos’ time in graduate school from 2002- 2005 at The New School of Architecture and Design and from 2006- 2009 at The University of California San Diego, with the remainder of the works opening into the progression of his post-graduate school practice. Within his multi-disciplinary practice compiled of sculptures, drawings and socially programmable architectural structures, Enosdiscusses an often invisible side of our landscape. Focusing on questions of civic identity and collective strategies for social change he gives a poignant critique of what he describes as urbanization’s fundamental aesthetic problems.
