Expositions
In the aftermath of September 11th, Protetch organized the landmark exhibition 'New World Trade Center: Design Proposals.' The show featured proposals for Lower Manhattan from an international group of 60 invited architects, including some of the most influential minds in contemporary architecture. Widely regarded as the most highly attended private gallery exhibition in New York's history, the show was published as a book (HarperCollins, 2002) and was chosen by the U.S. State Department to represent the United States at the 8th International Biennale of Architecture in Venice.
In 2003, Protetch expanded to the rapidly growing arts community of Beacon, N.Y., with Protetch: Sculpture Beacon, a five-acre site for the exhibition of new and existing works of outdoor sculpture. The grounds have featured works by Sol LeWitt, Buckminster Fuller, Scott Burton, Marcel Breuer, Mel Chin, and Tobias Putrih.

Famous quotes containing the word expositions:
“I have come to the conclusion that the major part of the work of a President is to increase the gate receipts of expositions and fairs and by tourists into town.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“The personal touch between the people and the man to whom they temporarily delegated power of course conduces to a better understanding between them. Moreover, I ought not to omit to mention as a useful result of my journeying that I am to visit a great many expositions and fairs, and that the curiosity to see the President will certainly increase the box receipts and tend to rescue many commendable enterprises from financial disaster.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
