A new exhibition opens in the contemporary project space tomorrow. It features Siah Armajani, an Iranian-born artist whose uses simple sculptural forms to convey complex ideas.
The space will hold 12 works including a sketch of the Irene Hixon Whitney Bridge in Minneapolis, a pedestrian bridge that spans 16 lanes of traffic to link the Walker Art Museum and the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. Bridges are Armajani’s most enduring subject.
Other works in the exhibition, including Table by Window, come from Armajani's Dictionary of Building project in which he defined the primary units of buildings (doors, windows, stairs and closets) and their functions.
The exhibition is free.
