The exhibition in 1938 was a confident celebration of modernity which unintentionally coincided with a major turning point in world history. The proposal considers the idea of modernism as a historical movement and celebrates the idea that we have moved beyond it.
Goodbye Twentieth Century is a ribbon of steel, its length equals the height of Tait’s Tower, which was the centrepiece of the 1938 exhibition, strung through the treetops at the original site of the tower.
