Monday November 7 – Friday December 2 Civic commitment takes many forms. For many artists this includes the possibility of creating works for public space; for all artists it includes an awareness of arts’ role in forming the culture of a city. Built/Not Built contains projects, drawings, and models created by faculty for the City of Columbus or other urban settings as well as documentation exemplifying projects from other times in history and other places in the world which hold possibilities—whether the projects were built or not built—as visions for our city's future. Presented in conjunction with OSU’s Institute for Collaborative Research and Public Humanities yearlong initiative ‘Building Public Space.’ Department of Art Faculty Exhibition Monday November 21 – Friday December 2 Part Two of this annual exhibition offers visitors the opportunity to see works by OSU faculty members Mary Jo Bole, Carmel Buckley, Alison Crocetta, Ann Hamilton, Rebecca Harvey, Harris Kagan, Scot Kaplan, Ardine Nelson, Stephen Pentak, Sergio Soave, Ed Valentine, and Pheoris West. |
