Art + Architecture
Washington State University Museum of Art
1/14/2010 to 4/3/2010
The Museum of Art at Washington State University presents “Art + Architecture,” January 14 - April 3. The Museum of Art is pleased to present a cornucopia of works that playfully explore the relationship between fine art and architecture through photography, digital prints, video and sculpture. As compared to an architect’s focus on “form and function,” visual artists tend to explore the dramatic – and often absurdist - opportunities of architectural spaces in terms of how they convey events, or the ambiguities of how we relate to the built environment. There will be a lecture by Chris Larson on February 3rd at 7pm in the Fine Arts Center Auditorium. Larson will speak about the role of architectural space in the creation of his art. There will also be a lecture by architect Jim Olson, recipient of the 2009 AIA Architecture Firm Award, on March 3rd at 7pm in the Fine Arts Center Auditorium. Olson will speak about his firm’s experience in designing spaces for museums and private art collections, and the way fine art has impacted his firm’s thinking about architecture. Works in the exhibition come from the collections of Western Bridge and Bill and Ruth True, the Washington Art Consortium, the Missoula Art Museum and the Museum of Art/WSU. There will be a reception on February 3rd at 6pm. The Museum of Art is located on Wilson Road across from Martin Stadium in the Fine Arts Center on the Washington State University campus. Gallery hours are Monday through Saturday, 10am - 4pm, closed Sunday.
