“In Plane View: Abstractions of Flight”
December 4, 2009 through June 11, 2010

An exhibition of large-format photographs by Carolyn Russo showcasing the aesthetic quality of some of the National Air and Space Museum’s iconic aircraft will be on display at the College Park Aviation Museum. With close-up facets, sculptural forms and life-like elements, “In Plane View” directs viewers’ attention to the often-overlooked simple elegance of aircraft design. Russo exposes the bold colors, textures, shapes and patterns that characterize diverse flying machines and, with her lens, transforms technology into art. This exhibition has been organized by the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum.
