Last of Animal Builders
Curated by Alberto Ortega Trejo
A slate of 11 artists disrupt the way we distinguish animal structure from human structure. This exhibit connects the relationships between humans, animals, nature, society, economy, and the common denominator: architecture.
Landscape and Light: David Wallace Haskins
Inspired by the work of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Haskins’s exhibit Landscape + Light is breathtaking in its use of light to draw attention to the house and 60-acres of land that are an essential part of this National Trust Historic Site.
