Modern U. addressed the progressive ideas that helped shape Carleton University
during its formative years, 1959 to 1972. These ideas were conveyed to a
contemporary audience through a path of ten large graphics that were set
against the architecture and infrastructure of the institution. Together with
a walking map, accompanying text, and a website, Modern U. allowed the viewer
to see anew the vision behind Carleton and, by extension, the social
aspirations of Canada during the post-war years.
The
Modern U. website, now hosted by the Carleton University Art Gallery, continues
to provide a virtual tour of the exhibition as well as supplementary
information, photographic images, and graphic animations: http://cuag.carleton.ca/online/modernu/
