Quote from Parkett
"McElheny relates to objects of mid-century design, objects that harbor the visonary futures of past eras but that also reveal the supposedly autonomous realms of art and industrial design.McElheny relates to objects of mid-century design, objects that harbor the visonary futures of past eras but that also reveal the supposedly autonomous realms of art and industrial design. His works allegorize the breakdown of Modernism’s linear notion of history to create visual analogues of its fragmentation"
