Points on a Line is the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s first contemporary art commission and first collaboration between the Mies van der Rohe Farnsworth House and the Philip Johnson Glass House, both sites of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and calls attention to the Glass House’s commitment to exploring new ideas in documentation and preservation of our significant modern architectural heritage. The film will be shown with parallel  programming in various arts and cultural venues throughout the year, continuing the legacy of Philip Johnson and David Whitney by cultivating new talent and finding new methods to connect with and educate new audiences about the importance of our modern architectural heritage. The film first premiered as part of Modern Views, a collaboration engaging the two sites with the voices of 100 contemporary artist and architects.
