Big box buildings have increasingly dominated the American landscape since the 1960s. Author, artist, and researcher Julia Christensen spent the last six years studying these monolithic, free-standing structures and their resulting effects on our culture. Organized by the Miller Gallery at Carnegie Mellon University, Your Town, Inc. features photographs and new installation work examining how communities are changing in the shadow of corporate real estate. >>>
