"Art in
Architecture"
An International Juried Exhibit -- September 11
- October 30, 2010
at the Somerset Art Association, Bedminster, N.J.
Juried by Michael Graves, FAIA, Architect,
James Christen Steward, PhD., Director, Princeton Art Museum
and Sassona Norton, Sculptor.
----------
This competition's intent is to generate ideas about the
relationship and interaction between Art and Architecture,
seeking images
about architecture as a repository for art, revealing how art is expressed
in architecture,
and how art and architecture affect and are affected by
each other.
In focusing on the capacity of art and architecture to be transcendent,
the competition’s resulting exhibit adds a special voice to the current
debate between the "container" and the "contents" that has been taking
place across the global art scene.
Opening
to the public on Saturday, September 11, twenty-seven works will be
exhibited throughout both floors of the gallery.
A slide-show of works on exhibit in the Johnson Gallery is
available here:
