Current Exhibitions

Iannis Xenakis: Composer, Architect, Visionary (January 15, 2010 - April 8, 2010)
This exhibition will explore the fundamental role of drawing in the work of Greek avant-garde composer Iannis Xenakis (1922–2001). A leading figure in twentieth century music, Xenakis was trained as a civil engineer, then became an architect and developed revolutionary designs while working with Le Corbusier. Comprised of nearly 100 documents created between 1953 and 1984, this will be the first North American exhibition dedicated to Xenakis’s original works on paper.


Selections Spring 2010: Sea Marks (January 15, 2010 - April 5, 2010)
Selections Spring 2010: Sea Marks is comprised of works by Agnes Barley, Jerome Marshak, and Peter Matthews, three artists selected from the Viewing Program who notate, describe, and interpret aspects of the sea. The exhibition examines the capacity of drawing to represent something as dynamic, volatile, and vast as the ocean.
