Since 1995, Paul Noble (*1963) has worked on monumental pencil drawings of a fictitious town called “Nobson Newtown”. These works link the buildings and places that constitute the geography, history and mythology of “Nobson Newtown”. The exhibition at the migros museum für gegenwartskunst provides the first opportunity to view the “Nobson Newtown” project in Switzerland.
