The latest installment in a series of Ar+chaeology exhibitions, Theatre Town will debut this Fall at the New Jersey School of Architecture Gallery.  “Ar+chaeology” refers to an art movement concerned with the exploration of abandoned, historically significant buildings and the transformation of found artifacts into artwork that speaks somehow of the places they were found.  Previous ar+chaeology exhibitions have promoted a greater appreciation of sites such as the Pabst Brewery, the old Essex County Jail, the Mulberry Street Firehouse in Newark and the Westinghouse Factory.
