Polling Place

Election season 2020 is upon us. Polling Place investigates the spatial design and identity of the physical voting stations where we exercise our democracy. Somewhere between architecture, interior architecture, and designed objects, these temporary kiosks populate our communities’ public spaces that serve as polling places, such as school cafeterias and gymnasiums, and provide a provisional degree of privacy to individual citizens as they perform their civic duty. This exhibition asks SAIC’s most recent alumni to speculate on new narratives and identities for these important civic apparatuses. #SAIC_pollingplace
