PAST EXHIBITION

Facades

October 19, 2007—December 30, 2007

An essential defining characteristic of architecture becomes negative when used to describe people. The relationships between the outside of a building and its interior, and between someone's public face and the workings of his/her mind, are the subject of this gathering of recent art. Does the exterior of a building or a person's expression reveal or conceal its actual intent or content? Gender roles, racial stereotypes, architectural foils, and assumptions of all kinds come into play in this investigation.

The work of a number of international artists express their points of view through video, photographs, both altered and unchanged, digital images, and off-set lithographs. Exhibiting artists include Anna Nordquist Andersson, Janine Antoni, Luke Batten and Jonathan Sadler, Vanessa Beecroft, Francis Cape, Jordi Colomer, Olafur Eliasson, Maria Friberg, Terence Gower, Huang Yan, IngridMwangiRobertHutter, Wendy Jacob, Robert Lazzarini, Inigo Manglano-Ovalle, Gordon Matta-Clark, Jillian McDonald, Christopher Rauschenberg, Joel Ross, Do-Ho Suh, Rick Valentin, and Michael Wolf.
