Kevin B. Chen's original graphite drawings are not referenced from real buildings, but represent a prototypical modern urban landscape. The economic, cultural, religious, and territorial relationships between buildings and people form complex and oftentimes contentious spheres of interaction. These magnets are produced from Kevin's drawings so that you may construct an imagined city of your own.

• Set of 12 magnets
• Magnets vary in size from 1" x 1" to 2" x 2"
• Produced by Open Editions
