A collective of artists and designers will obscure architect Philip Johnson’s name from a gallery dedicated to him at the Museum of Modern Art during the run of the museum’s current exhibition about architecture and the communities of the African diaspora, “Reconstructions: Architecture and Blackness in America.”
Johnson, the famed Modernist architect with well-documented fascist and white supremacist views, will have his name covered by a 10-by-10 foot denim textile conceived by the Black Reconstruction Collective (BRC), a nonprofit group formed by 10 architects and designers in the show.

Instead of a common advertisement, a poster titled “Federal-Aid Highway Act” is secured with painter’s tape to a light post on Burt Street, providing a flash of color under the gray cover of Interstate 81.
The poster, designed by fifth-year School of Architecture student Parinda Sangkaeo, mirrors the design of 1950s automobile ads. It references the white flight and displacement of African American communities that occurred during the building of the national highway system, she said.
