Paul Jaray: The Rationality of the Streamline

This exhibition was centered on the seminal but little-known visionary engineer Paul Jaray, who designed the first truly aerodynamic automobiles in the 1920s but was ignored (and later written out of history) by the German Nazi government because he was Jewish. The exhibition includes artworks based on aerodynamic automobiles, among these the "Cadillac Ranch" public sculpture by Ant Farm. Blaise Tobia’s series of photographs of Cadillac Ranch (made in 1974 just after completion of the work) was featured. An earlier version of the exhibition took place at the Arsenale Institute for Art and Politics in Venice, in 2022.
