Designed by Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue, with sculptural details by Lee Lawrie, the NAS Building represents both a specific point in time, 1924 (the year it opened), and the timeless quest for scientific knowledge. Goldsleger’s exhibition celebrates the work of generations of scientists who build upon each other’s knowledge and reach previously unimagined heights of discovery and depths of understanding.
Goldsleger referenced information from the NAS Archives and studied Goodhue’s original building plans, along with numerous other sources, to create this body of work. She invites you to see the structure anew and explore the intricate network of ideas that are embodied in it.
