During Expo '86 in Vancouver, Canada; a production of works that explored Montreal's Expo '67 was exhibited at the Josh Baer Gallery in New York. As a 10 yr old boy at the time, Expo '67 was the artist's introduction to architecture, and his first exposure to a spectacle of international scale. The works were aerobic in their placement, and the photographs were physical in their treatment.
