- Description
- Design for solar energy exhibit. Interior perspective shows open-plan exhibition space with curving ramp, at rear, providing access to mezzanine level. Interior architecture is white, International Style, with white pavement and brown-black walls and ceiling. At center, large installation of teal- and rust-colored panels with information plaques at angle on ground. At center in background, floor-to-ceiling installation of orange and yellow material or light that meets rectangular yellow plan on ceiling (nearby, a similar red and black panel). At left, wall obscured by additional teal-blue panel, and a satellite seems to be suspended from ceiling; in midground, a satellite dish is propped up for display. At right, under the mezzanine, various exhibit display panels—in various hues of red, orange, teal, yellow, and black, some with text and some without—are supported by linear tubing system. Human figures populate the scene throughout. Signed in pen and ink, lower right: DELLER ’60.
