QUEUE: An Exhibit about Waiting in Line

Artist: Alex Culler of Architecture Hero

Queue, an Exhibit about Waiting in Line is a 100’-0” long drawing. The drawing can be read like a graphic novel from two points of view and two different endpoints, exploring the banal and spectacular possibilities faced by citizens moving through a continuous queue line.

Queue challenges us to consider what happens when the social cues of our society are at odds with the architectural queues of our built environment. When architectural interiors, grand or modest, are reduced to their lowest common denominator, (people moving through space), things start to look a bit strange.
